Energy & utilities

Metering, outages and consumption data — where the customer only contacts you when something has gone wrong.

What technology do utilities need?

Utilities need metering data collection and validation at scale, outage detection and restoration management, consumption analytics for loss detection and planning, and customer self-service so routine billing and complaint traffic does not overwhelm support.

Losses hide in the data you already collect

Distribution losses — technical and commercial — are usually visible in consumption data before anyone investigates. Sudden drops, implausible patterns and mismatches between feeder input and billed consumption are detectable, and most utilities already hold the data to detect them.

The gap is analytical rather than instrumental. Getting metering data into a form that supports comparison, then routing anomalies to an inspection workflow, is often the highest-return project available.

Common problems

What we are usually called in for

  • Losses are detected late

    Data collected but not analysed for anomalies.

  • Outages are reported by customers

    The utility learns of a fault from complaint volume.

  • Metering data is unusable

    Volumes exceeding what the existing tools can process.

  • Billing enquiries flood support

    Routine questions handled by people rather than self-service.

Frequently asked

Questions we get about this

Do we need smart meters before analytics is useful?

No. Even monthly readings reveal a great deal when compared across time and against feeder-level input. Smart metering improves resolution considerably, and useful work starts with the data you already have.

How do we notify consumers about outages?

SMS and WhatsApp with geographic targeting, which reduces complaint volume substantially — most calls during an outage are asking whether it is known and when it will be fixed.
