Prepaid Electricity and Gas
More than 3 million customers worldwide are using Itron smart payment systems. We are having more than 20 years experience. Company provides quality meters, builds and also supports systems. However it also provides hosting services for Utilities.
Utilities are turning more smart payment systems for enhanced revenue management and also customer service. However Such systems have become a key element in the new strategies utilities are defining to move forward in ever-more deregulated environments.
For the end customers, they now have the possibility to control their consumption and access value added services, while the utility optimises its revenues. Itron has developed the Eclipse Enterprise Edition to fit these needs.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Itron Eclipse Enterprise Edition (3E) supports both smart cards and Standard Transfer Specification (STS) token transactions, and is the only system existing today that can do both. Our system uses the STS open standard for smart payment and for far reaching multi-channel vending networks such as:
➊ Mobile telephone (via SMS) vending
➋ At home through an Internet site
➋ Scratch cards that can be bought in any shop
➌ Cash or bank card based self-service kiosks or vending stations
➍ Mobile points of sales / bookshelf point of sales for shops
➎ Interface with a “third party” vending network such as banks, post offices, petrol stations, shops.
These different channels provide utilities with the best choice for their end-user making payments as easy as possible for their customers.
Eclipse Enterprise Edition is scalable from 300 up to 5 million meters and supports two different ways to handle end-user payment:
» Prepayment- the end-user has to pay up front for gas consumption,
» Pay as you go (soft prepayment)
The End User
The end-user consumes gas as with a regular credit meter but after a certain time or volume used is forced to pay otherwise the meter will close down. However Multi-language the system will help to collect meter reading data, outstanding debts or different charges with unlimited tariff possibilities.
Tariffs can be updated on a daily basis making it very flexible for utilities to manage. Its data logging capabilities enable utilities to detect and also minimize tampering, fraud on the meter side. The system side smart tools are used to analyse consumption profiles.
