Reduce the hassle of data entry
EXTENSIVE DATA RECORDS & TIME-SAVINGS AUTOMATIONS
Track information for all meters, endpoints, registers, and bins owned by, in custody of, or in use by your utility. You can record identifying numbers, sizes, manufacturers, device types, ratings (GPM), purchase dates, warranty dates, test cycles, last test dates, active/inactive dates, meter constants, and much more. Record even more data with free-form notes.
Device Management also automates the record process to optimize your management efforts. Change data for your devices en masse, create multiple records simultaneously, and view history for your devices with automatically updated location records. You can easily associate devices with customer accounts and swap devices with a simple changeout wizard.
Location history is automatically updated when using UMS changeout processing. Review the chronological history of all accounts associated with an individual device since in service and keep extensive records for each installation, including account, customer name, address, date installed, first reading, date removed, and last reading.
Device Management adheres to Public Service Commission (PSC) guidelines for storage and retrieval of meter records
Eliminate errors and standardize data
Use standardized options and set up your own configurations for quick and painless data entry. Device Management helps you eliminate errors due to misspellings and make searching, reporting, and setup for new devices fast and easy. Format data in alignment with your requirements and change information for devices when needed. Convenient data merging routines and pre-defined options make it easy to create consistency in your current data.
Record and maintain a wealth of meter test history and view information about tests with helpful reports. Set your options to meet your utility’s requirements and create custom reasons for meter testing, including standard testing and testing due to billing issues or customer requests.
Track test dates, test methods, and readings before and after testing, and easily control how the software calculates values for your tests. And since information about meter testers can also be stored, you can record the tester for each meter test entered.
