Meter – to – Cash: Reliable Metering – Billing and Revenue


Realization for leading DISCOMs in India
Both in India and abroad, Meter-to-Cash  (M2C) is one of the most important business
processes for utilities regarding meter data management (MDM) platforms. MDM on the
other hand is much more than just M2C. MDM comprises of multiple workflows, systems,
technical interventions and strategies that help utilities reduce costs and increase
revenues.

MDM is critical to the cash flow process in any utility. At Cosyn, we aim to achieve the
following MDM parameters for the utilities we serve:
1. Accurate Consumer identification
2. Accurate Utility Assets identification and tagging
3. GPS based Route Sequencing
4. Accurate Metering of the consumer
5. Bill presentation to the consumer and Demand update
6. Real time Information flow to stakeholders through efficient MIS and Dashboard
7. Timely and Real time data updation
8. Revenue reconciliation and collection
9. Improving Utility and Consumer satisfaction levels
10.Timely completion of Metering and Billing process
11.Measuring effectiveness of the Recurring Workflow and improving upon it where
required

India being a diverse country has its own unique socio-political challenges in the field of
effective MDM. Unbundling of the Electricity Utilities in India has brought about the first
major development in accountable MDM. Our experience with over 15 large scale Indian
Electricity Utilities says that the core activity of MDM deals with ‘Identification of the
Consumer’ or the Power Sink. The MDM scenario and approach in other countries will be
vastly different. Deep understanding of local sensitivities, cultural differences and
economic condition play an important role in enabling an effective strategy for MDM. A
MDM implementation strategy which works in Punjab may not work in West Bengal and it
may need minor or major changes in the approach methodology.

Cosyn has put in place an elaborate mechanism of ‘UPDE’ strategy for any MDM project
that it undertakes. The UPDE strategy stands for ‘UNDERSTAND – PLAN – DEPLOY –

ENGAGE’. It has its own suite of advanced Meter Data Processing Suite, Real Time MIS
Dashboards, Reporting Mechanisms and Manpower Supervision for effective outcomes in an
MDM environment. Its solution EBAS – Electricity Billing and Analysis Software is built to
connect to multiple MDM devices in the field, aggregate data, run intelligence queries,
generate reports, reconcile data and create exception records which may need further
investigation. It integrates seamlessly with GPS – GPRS / 3G Handheld devices and Android
Devices and is capable of Duplex mode communication.

It also has
“Deep understanding of local sensitivities, integrated Google
cultural differences and economic condition play Maps interface,
which helps in
an important role in enabling an effective accurately
strategy for MDM. A MDM implementation tracking
strategy which works in Punjab may not work in manpower
deployment and
timesheets
management. It also helps in directing a Meter Reader to the appropriate consumer
location through the use of Google Maps.

EBAS enables better real time control over the billing data and deployed manpower
productivity which results in higher efficiency of Billing work and reliable reading values.

EBAS solution has been deployed by Cosyn in the Power sector utilities in Karnataka, Uttar
Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab. It enables the most cost-efficient deployment of
MDM solution in a diversified environment and brings in unified and central point
supervision of data and manpower resources.

EBAS solution is well suited and compatible with MDM applications related to Household
Gas Supply billing as well. Cosyn has carried our City-Gas-Distribution Metering and Billing
work for Bhagyanagar Gas Limited (Govt. of India enterprise) for over 3 years using EBAS.
The business logic was incorporated in EBAS by the software team and the customized
version was deployed for servicing the customer across multiple households.
