Water Management

Billing, meter reading, NRW and customer care for water service providers.

Who it is for: Water service providers, community water projects and county utilities.

Billing a water scheme by hand costs you twice: once in the meter readings that never make it to a bill, and again in the money that is never followed up. This replaces the spreadsheets and the paper route books with one system that runs from the meter to the receipt.

Customers and connections

An applicant becomes a member, a member becomes a connection. Premises, zones and schemes are recorded so every meter has a place on the map and an owner attached to it.

Meter reading

Readers work from a phone, including where there is no signal, and readings sync when they are back in range. Impossible jumps are queried before they ever reach a bill.

Billing and payments

Run a billing cycle for a zone or the whole scheme. Customers pay by M-Pesa and the payment reconciles itself against the right account. Balances, penalties and reconnection fees follow the tariff you configure, not someone's memory.

Non revenue water

Compare what you pumped with what you billed, by district metered area, so losses show up as a number rather than a suspicion.

Operations

Laboratory results, sewer and exhauster work, pumps and bulk meters, fleet and projects all sit in the same system as the billing.

What you get out of it

  • Bills go out on time, every cycle, without overtime
  • Collections improve because customers get a bill they believe
  • Losses are measured per zone instead of guessed
  • The board gets the same numbers the office is working from
