Platform Modules

A complete platform for the utility lifecycle

Every module connects to the same operational record. No middleware. No data silos. No disconnected handoffs.

Module 01

Customer 360

Manage the full customer lifecycle from account creation and premise setup through service agreement management, move-ins, move-outs, and account closure. Every billing relationship, meter assignment, and communication record is tied to one unified account.

Module 1 of 9

Meter-to-Cash

One platform. One data model. Zero gaps.

A single data model governs the entire revenue lifecycle. Each stage feeds directly into the next — no middleware, no batch transfers, no reconciliation blindspots.

Fragmented Data Acquisition

Smart meter streams and manual reads sit in silos — unvalidated and unmatched.

Tariff Complexity

Legacy systems struggle with tiered rates, TOU, and custom allocation formulas.

Billing Errors & Disputes

Inaccurate tariff calculation generates disputes that consume operational bandwidth.

Disconnected Collections

Stale data and manual workflows lead to slower cycles and avoidable write-offs.

Reconciliation Blind Spots

Manual reconciliation means leakage goes undetected for weeks or months.

Revenue Leakage

Every disconnected handoff introduces latency, data loss, and billing error.

01

Meter Data Acquisition

Native adapters for AMI/AMR, DLMS/COSEM, and Modbus. Automated VEE rules ensure data integrity before billing.

02

Billing & Tariff Calculation

Industrial tariff engine supporting TOU, tiered, and custom allocation logic for multi-utility providers.

03

Collections Management

Real-time payment matching and configurable dunning workflows to accelerate cash flow and reduce arrears.

04

Revenue Assurance

Continuous automated reconciliation identifying leakage root causes and providing full audit-grade visibility.

Deployment

Deploy on your terms

Infrastructure constraints vary by jurisdiction, regulation, and security posture. UtilConnect runs identically across three deployment models — with no feature trade-offs.

On-Premise

Install within your network perimeter for maximum data sovereignty and OT/SCADA integration.

Private Cloud

Dedicated single-tenant infrastructure in your chosen region to meet strict residency mandates.

Managed Cloud

Fastest time-to-value on UtilConnect-managed dedicated nodes with full administrative control.

Compliance

Compliance, governance & auditability

Regulated utilities and government-owned providers operate under intense scrutiny. UtilConnect delivers an enterprise governance framework built for these mandates.

Immutable Audit Trails

Every adjustment, override, and calculation is logged with permanent timestamps and user IDs to meet regulatory audit mandates.

Granular RBAC

Role-based access controls and SSO integration ensure zero-trust data accessibility across utility departments.

Tariff Versioning

Historical rate history and logic versioning ensure defensible billing compliance for PUC reviews.

Data Sovereignty

Configurable residency and retention policies to meet local jurisdictional and state requirements.

Enterprise Encryption

FIPS-aligned encryption at rest and in transit across all deployment modes.

Regulatory Reporting

Pre-built reporting structures for PUC, municipal boards, and ministerial regulatory submissions.

Tech Specs

Built for utility-scale operations

Deep technical specifications for mission-critical revenue operations.
