We are the
private metering partner you’ve been looking for.

For us, electricity vending is just one piece of the puzzle. Our goal is to implement holistic solutions, in which revenue collection is recured and energy is optimally managed.

Private Electricity Metering

Elec Software is a NERSA-approved private metering company that seeks to provide our clients with genuine value. We don’t believe that a meter management agent should cost you an arm and a leg, and we have established ourselves as market leaders when it comes to servicing residents and end-consumers.

Whatever you’re paying, we’ll beat it. Contact us and let Elec Software redefine the word “value” for you.

Fully Integrated Account Payments & Revenue Collection

All developments struggle with revenue collection to some degree. This is often caused by a lack of incentive for residents to settle accounts on time, or due to a cumbersome payment process.

Why send residents multiple bills through different channels when they can buy their electricity AND pay all their levies, bills and accounts in one place?

With Prepaid24, Elec Software’s trusted online payment partner, you can set up customised bills for your development which residents can pay conveniently online. Electricity is also used as a lever to ensure timely account settlements, greatly increasing revenue collection rates for smaller complexes and large estates alike.

By implementing this model, you and your residents can enjoy unmatched comfort and control.

Smart Meters & Premium Hardware

“Smart metering” is a term that seems to be on everyone’s lips today, and with good reason. With most developments being billed on a time-of-use basis by Eskom or their municipalities, it has become essential to charge residents on a time-of-use basis too, to ensure that developments generate enough revenue without having to penalise responsible electricity consumers with averaged-out tariffs.

With Elec Software’s top-class hardware partners, you can have smart meters without having to settle for a post-paid billing system – your residents can continue making prepaid purchases. These smart meters will also enable residents to sell electricity back into the grid if excess power is produced with on-site solar systems.

The future is smart! Chat to us about your development’s unique needs and challenges, and let us help you to get in touch with a reputable technology provider.

Eskom/Municipal Billing

Going completely off the grid sounds like an exciting prospect, but it is not always attainable or practical due to the massive infrastructure changes and capital expenditure required. Solar energy and battery setups can certainly help reduce the effects of loadshedding, but most developments still need to buy a lot of electricity from Eskom or their municipality.

Elec Software’s NERSA-licensed industry partners can help you to save 10-35% on your monthly electricity bill without the need for you to change or install a single piece of hardware on your side!

These savings will reflect directly on your bottom line and will open up many other possibilities for your business going forward. Options to source more renewable energy at a discounted rate are also available.

Solar Solutions

When discussing energy with large businesses and residential estates, it’s impossible to ignore the solar discussion. Though on-site solar systems are not the silver bullet for every energy challenge, there can be massive benefits to generating your own electricity, especially when it comes to overcoming loadshedding and mitigating the impact of ever-rising energy costs.

Elec Software is connected with some of the country’s most reputable solar providers and take pride in referring our clients to quality vendors who are in the business of implementing sustainable and dependable solutions.

Electrical and Energy Consulting

With energy costs constantly on the rise, making sure that you are using your energy optimally has become a priority for large businesses and developments alike.

Whether it be power factor corrections, maximum demand checks, time-of-use evaluations or prepaid tariff calculations, Elec Software can help you get the answers to all your energy questions. We will also guide you in plotting a way forward to optimise your development’s energy consumption, ensuring that your needs are met without the risk of overpaying for utilities. Ultimately, our goal is to save you money.
