Improved Meter Maintenance Module
Every utility and council needs to maintain their meter fleet, our Maintenance module provides you with the facility to manage this. Maintenance can be integrated with the meter reading system, or operated as a standalone system.
As an integrated system, meters can be flagged within the meter reading system and moved to the Maintenance system where a supervisor decides what is to be changed and assigns the job/s to a plumber, or exchanger. As a standalone system, the meter location information can simply be imported into the system
from the billing system, or other sources.
The maintenance process is very similar to the meter reading with similar
interfaces for Web, phone and tablet, similar field process such as data entry,
GPS and photo management, reports and imprort/exprort. These similarities
provide a single learning curve for training and support for field staff and admin staff alike.
Improved Photo Management
The new layout incorporates detailed information with photos, maps and logs on the 1 page.
Photos remove, or reduce the need for check reads. Every high, low, zero, negative, or can't read can be easily photographed and saved against the job. To achieve this, we improved the background management of photos, the meter reader, or plumber (for maintenance) simply; points, clicks, saves and we do the rest.
Photos are automatically cataloged with the route, meter, or service number and sent in the background. Photos are attached to the job on the server where they can be used to check the reading, the meter number, damage, or simply prove that the job was done.
GPS Positioning and Reports
GPS positioning is now an option for most of our reports, allowing you to display and trace all meters read/replaced on a map and sort by sequence, or time. The obvious benefit is improving your reading process as a sequencing tool. In addition, you can map all of your popular reports to see the location of your can't reads, damaged meters, high, low or negative reads.
