SmartMeter Prepayment™ Meter Management System Software

A complete solution, with prepayment software, electronic water metering and customer friendly 'split smart card system' to guarantee revenue and service.

The Meter Management System (MMS) provides a friendly way for utilities to manage the SmartMeter Prepayment operation; run reports, find leaks, schedule battery changes, manage customers and prevents fraud.

Two-way communication with vending points

The MMS is centrally located and collects customer and consumption data coming from the vending points. The MMS also sends data back to the vending point and Smart Card network. It is possible to add, shut off or remove customers and alter tariffs.

Detailed data capture and analysis

Each unique Smart Card will only operate in a single customer’s Internal Unit (IU). The Smart Card further provides a two way communication highway back to the MMS and delivers the following data:

• Accumulated water consumption
• Monthly usage for the current month and previous 6 months. Facilitates accurate zoned water balances and trend analysis
• Minimum night flow. Highlights potential leaks within the customer’s premises
• Battery status is reported 6 months prior to failure, allowing time to schedule a maintenance visit
• Tamper status and mode is highlighted to initiate an evaluation visit to assess the mode and potential fraudulent/vandal activity
• Collection of arrears. Accommodates a field for customer arrears within the database. It can be deducted on a fixed amount or a fixed percentage of each transaction
• Limit water consumption to a maximum daily water allowance in times of water restrictions
• Collect rateable value community charges (up to 8 different rates)
