Meter Install Group (MIG) created the first mass meter installation software ever to be used in the meter industry decades ago. The software evolved over the years while using it to install hundreds of thousand of meters and is now a streamlined app compatible with iOS and Android devices. It is very easy to use and will help keep your project on the right track start to finish.
A meter installation project can be a nightmare or a dream and much of that depends on the data collected. It is impossible to collect data on paper without making significant mistakes. The most competent person alive will transpose numbers and leave digits out over the course of an install project. It also takes a significant amount of time to keep up with the paper and then record the information again for billing where another opportunity arises to make the same mistakes. Electronic data collection is the only way to go. It is fast, clean, concise, and gives the utility the opportunity to electronically transfer the data directly to their billing software provider. It also speeds up the installation process by helping installers find meters and plan out their attack in advance.
In addition to massively reducing human error, MIG's installation app automatically captures GPS, takes photos of the old meter read so it can be compared to the one recorded, takes photos of the installation site, helps the installer through an ordered installation process step by step, helps track inventory, and allows the utility to monitor history and progress in near real time.
Account Information
Account information is ordered for the installer to help the work flow. The app uses address, old meter serial number, and previous read to positively identify the correct meter to be changed. Critical data collected and photos are linked to the account record and viewable by the utility in near real time.
Tracking
Meter locations are geolocated prior to beginning the installation. More accurate GPS location points are recorded at the time of installation, but having the map view helps the installer find the meter. As the installation status of the account changes the map pins turn corresponding colors to help everyone know what has been done and what is left to do.
Utility Portal View
Installation account information can be viewed by the utility at any time by logging into the Utility Portal website. Old meter out reads, photos, time / date stamps, etc. can all be viewed to help the utility office engage with customers and keep the billing process smooth during the installation.
Utility Map View
The Utility Portal Map view makes tracking progress easy at a glance. Map pin colors change to show meters complete, skipped, or left to be done.
Data Scrubbing
Meter Install Group offers data scrubbing on all RG3 Meter Company projects. Data collected is cross checked against shipping manifests to make sure new meter serial numbers are recorded correctly and all meters shipped are accounted for. Old meter reads recorded are checked against previous reads from billing to make sure they are in line. A list of discrepancies is sent back to the installer on a routine basis so data can be verified or corrected.
Data Transfer
Collected installation data is seamlessly transferred to your billing software provider on a predetermined schedule. If you are manually entering the data into your billing software, data is always available for download into an Excel spreadsheet for easy use.
