Key benefits

Prepaid walletEach flat has a wallet; usage is deducted at the society’s tariff and every recharge gets a receipt.

Automatic billingTariffs, fixed charges and taxes are applied automatically, with monthly statements.

Low-balance alertsResidents are warned before the balance runs out, so supply is never a surprise.

Load limitsSanctioned load is set per flat; overloads cut supply safely and can be restored from the app.

Overview

Conventional meters leave the facility team reading meters by hand, raising bills at month end and following up on unpaid dues. Syctech smart meters move the whole cycle online: consumption is recorded continuously, charges are deducted from the resident’s wallet at the society’s tariff, and the resident is alerted before the balance runs out.

The same platform supports prepaid, postpaid and hybrid models, so a society can choose what fits its residents, and add estate or maintenance charges to the same account.
