SMS combine our years of hands-on utility management experience that spans every function and aspect of the utility and occupancy cost supply chain with the smart technologies we’ve developed and refined over the years to cut the complexity out of utility and occupancy cost billing measuring and validating the consumption of utilities. Our service meters electricity, water or gas, from any metering point or device, at any or many locations, at any time interval. We apply the right and up-to-date rates to the utility consumption data we retrieve and consolidate and deliver accurate utility bills that provide the utility consumption proof to ensure you get paid on time. Because our solutions track every aspect of your utility consumption, you also get precisely accurate benchmarking data that enables you to help your customers to benchmark at manage utility consumption more effectively.
Matching different bulk supply accounts with each resident’s consumption, applying the right tariff variables to each utility and billing for the consumption of every resource at the right time are key to producing the dependable billings that avoid swamps of queries, under recoveries, non-payments and poor cashflows. And the utility supply cut-offs and costly reconnections that damage profits, reputations and tenant loyalties.
