Analytics software can help utilities overcome these hurdles and make the most of their meter reading data. This is helpful when a utility upgrades to the latest reading technology, for example an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system. But if the utility only uses it for a billing read, they are getting a poor return from their investment. Utilities need a powerful analytics software to digest and act on the data their smart water system provides—like BEACON® Software as a Service (SaaS).
Water utilities have a variety of data management systems they can pick from. BEACON SaaS is a popular choice for its reliable performance in collecting meter reading data and sourcing the analytics that are most important to a utility’s operations. It provides users with a holistic view of their water utility and metering system performance at a glance, as well as a detailed analysis of the inner workings of the system. When this information is readily available, it can improve operational efficiencies and help make staff members’ jobs easier.

Water metering data is crucial to the success of your utility. If you don’t have an analytics software system in place, consider a system upgrade that incorporates BEACON SaaS. This SaaS is credited with helping utilities address non-revenue water concerns, bill more accurately, enhance sustainability efforts and improve consumer engagement and transparency.
