EISL Metering and Sub-Metering Solution

NEED FOR SUBMETERING: Sub-metering is a system that involves the use of a vending management software and prepayment meters to manage and calculate the accurate consumption of electricity, water or gas in individual apartments of a multitenant facility. Having observed some of the problems associated with the management of utility in multitenant facilities, we believe that our sub-metering solution is a perfect fit for facility managers, facility owners, estate developers and other handlers of multitenant facilities. EISL vending software  (EISLVS) solution is very reliable and pocket friendly. Listed below are some of the problems that can be avoided or controlled when our sub-metering solution is your choice.

LEAKAGES AND ENERGY THEFT

METER TAMPERING

ESTIMATED OR INACCURATE BILLING FROM DISCO 

OCCUPANTS PILING DEBTS ON THE FACILITY

WASTAGE 

CONFLICT FROM TENANTS OVER UTILITY CONSUMPTION

HOW IT WORKS FOR ELECTRICITY

 Firstly, the facility MUST be bulk metered i.e., uses a Maximum Demand (MD) meter (Prepaid or Postpaid)

 Our team of engineers install EISL prepaid single/three phase Split smart STS meters in each apartment

 Then install meter to carter for perimeter lights, water pumps, and other common utility. The basic idea is to get the accurate  a n d a d e q u a t e i n f o r m a t i o n a b o u t p o w e r distribution/consumption within the facility. This information may also help in determining the service charge.

HOW IT WORKS FOR WATER

 A central water meter is installed in each primary supplying pipe for each reservoir to calculate the volume of water supplied (For effective reconciliation).

 Prepaid water meters are then installed at primary supply point in each house. 

 Water tariff can be determined according to the cost of treatment, maintenance and supply.

 Residence can then buy prepaid tokens to authorize their water meter either from the designated vending office or the Online Customer portal.

 Tokens can be printed or received as SMS by the resident.

 To authorize water supply, the resident will simply input the token into the water meter.

Unique Benefits of EISLVS solution.

 Since the meters installed are prepaid meters, the occupants of facility will have to buy prepaid token to authorize electricity supply. Authorization token can be purchased online using the customer portal or at a vending office located within the estate or facility.

 Our vending software can be configured to make deductions for service charges (Which may comprise of cost of security, cleaning, and shared lighting among others). The vending software can simply be configured to deduct specific amount once a month as service charge. For example: If service charge is N10, 000 monthly is  applied and a tenant comes to purchase electricity of N22, 000, the system automatically deducts N10, 000 for service charge and gives the tenant N12, 000-naira worth of electricity token. So, the facility owner can retrieve all payments without hassles or stress.

 Setting Tariff – The tariff can be set to include cost of electricity from DISCO, cost of supplying alternative electricity (Such as generators, biogas etc.) and maybe VAT; this system simply helps to inculcate all associated costs into a single tariff. With our vending software the electricity tariff can be determined and modifications can be made anytime at will. 

SUSTAINABLE METHOD OF PROVIDING 24HRS ELECTRICITY

 Ease of incorporating the cost of providing alternative source of electricity into the tariff system to ensure revenue can be recouped and reinvested.

EFFICIENT ELECTRICITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 It gives the ability to efficiently measure electricity consumption. 

 Wastage is easily spotted and isolated, meter by-pass or tampering, energy theft, leakages and also inaccurate calibration.

CROSS PAYMENT FUNCTIONALITY: ONLINE VENDING 

 Occupant of the proposed facility can pay bills online from the comfort of their homes, offices and even from location outside Nigeria. Simply by using their credit cards or wallets. 

GUARANTEED 100% REVENUE COLLECTION

 Revenue protection and debt-free guarantee due to the fact that occupants are charged on a prepaid mode, therefore ensuring payment is made before usage.
