Need for automated billing systems

� Billing process� Actual source of revenue for the power sector� Periodic process� Maintenance of huge data base (continuous data updating)� Man power

� Essentials � Effective utilization of man power� Accuracy – Error free� Process time� Robust – fool proof

Evolution of Billing Systems

� The early billing process used to be handled manually

� Manual billing process

� Manual recording of meter readings

� Same would be entered in the individual ledger

� Data entry of the records & auditing

� Printing of the consumer-wise bills

� Bills are sent to the respective consumers for

making the payments

Problems With the Manual System

� Laborious and time consuming� Visiting the consumer premises to take reading� Data entry from ledger to pc� Printing of bills � Second visit again to deliver the generated bill� Every possibility for manual errors� Complaints on Non-receipt of bills / wrong entries in bills

� Could not provide the expected results in so many aspects� Hence there is a desperate requirement for Automated

Billing systems

Our Initiation in Providing Solution

� Introduced to replace the manual recording of meter readings

� Eliminate the delay in the billing cycle

� To ensure error free billing

� To make Billing calculations easy

� Data can be maintained digitally

� Improve the collection efficiency
