Utilities & Meters

Read the Meter. Bill the Tenant. Done.

Caretakers capture water and electricity readings on a phone, Oxflare checks them against the last reading, calculates the charge and bills the tenant without anyone retyping a number.

Field Capture

Readings Captured Where the Meter Is

The caretaker opens the unit, enters the current reading and takes a photo. Oxflare validates it against the previous reading so typing mistakes are caught before they reach a tenant.

  • Water and electricity per unit, with meter numbers recorded
  • Photo of the meter stored privately with the reading
  • Charge calculated from consumption and your rate
  • Tenant is notified of the reading and the amount
Bulk Work

Whole Buildings in One Go

For larger blocks, caretakers can enter readings for a full floor in one screen, and managers can import readings from a spreadsheet.

  • Bulk reading screen for fast entry
  • Bulk import from CSV or Excel
  • Approval step before readings become bills
  • Utility charges appear on the same statement as rent
Why It Matters

Utility Disputes Are Mostly Record Disputes

A trail for every charge

The bill shows the previous and current readings, so a tenant can see how the charge was worked out.

Photo evidence

A dated meter photo settles most "that is not my reading" conversations quickly.

Billed with the rest

Utility bills sit beside rent in the ledger, so arrears, reminders and statements all include them.
