About The Project

HydroPro

The system was developed a water bill management software for a utility company that manages water billing for both pre-paid and post-paid meters. The software is designed to make it easy for customers to manage their water consumption and payments, and for the utility company to efficiently track usage and billing.

Features

Features as per client needs.

Smart Meters: The software is integrated with smart meters, which automatically capture water usage for post-paid meters.
For pre-paid meters, the customer pays for water and receives a token that they input into the meter to access water.
Billing and Invoicing: The software generates bills and invoices for post-paid meters, which are sent to customers via email or sms.
The software also tracks pre-paid balances and generates notifications to customers when their balance is low.
Payment Processing: The software includes a secure payment processing system, allowing customers to pay their bills or purchase pre-paid tokens with M-Pesa.
Alerts: In addition to email alerts, the software can send SMS alerts to customers with important updates, such as when their billing cycle is about to end or when they need to purchase a pre-paid token.
Leak Detection: The software includes leak detection features, which notify customers and the utility company when there is unusual or excessive water usage, indicating a possible leak.
Reports and Analytics: The software includes reporting and analytics features, allowing the utility company to track water usage and billing trends, and to generate insights for decision-making.
Customizable Settings: The software allows the utility company to customize settings, such as billing rates and notification thresholds, to meet their specific needs.
Automated Alerts: The software includes automated alerts, such as when a customer's pre-paid balance is running low or when there is a billing issue.
