Prepaid water and electricity for apartments
The modern and simple way to provide and bill flats for electricity, water, heat, and washing machines directly online via smartphone, securely and without administrative effort. With the networked prepaid meter, residents can top up credit as needed and draw water, electricity, and heat until the credit is consumed. The resident has an overview and control of their consumption at all times and there is no risk of non-payment.
Water and electricity quotas
The most technically advanced solution in real estate electricity, water, heat and equipment operating times without costly service charge billing and without the risk of additional claims as prepaid credit or budget. If the budget is exceeded, the user can easily and quickly add credit. A display in the apartment provides a simple overview of the current residual budget and previous consumption. This supports a more conscious use of resources.

Prepaid water in industry and irrigation
In many places, water tankers fulfil the essential task of supplying drinking water. Especially in remote areas, a tanker filling station with the prepaid meter simplifies the billing of large water customers. The filling stations are equipped with water meters and valves from 2 to 10 inches. These stations can be operated completely self-sufficiently or with personnel. The Prepaid Meter offers 24h access to water and better control.

Online STS keypad prepaid meter vending system
The iSAtech Prepaid Metering Management System can be used with STS standard keypad water meters and electricity meters. The management system works as a "virtual vending unit" to generate STS credit tokens and send them via SMS to the user. It also allows the management of the users and the prepaid meters. Functions such as the connection of payment systems, online monitoring, and the automatic sending of STS tokens via SMS are available, as is extensive reporting. In this way, large water supply infrastructures can be set up that combine all the advantages of low-cost prepaid household meters with those of a powerful online prepaid management system.
"The Mobile for Development Utilities programme is very excited for a successful implementation of a mobile online pay as you go system in collaboration with iSAtech water GmbH and are grateful for a fruitful and cooperative partnership.
