Client’s Business Goals

The client was in search for automation of their customer billing and invoicing section. They needed combined meter reading and subsequent billing in a single process that is well integrated with the other systems.

Key Challenges

Enterprise clients in Utility Sector have been using SAP for its core business process for the last several years. Customer billing and invoicing was done through SAP-ISU billing. The meter reading was collected manually by visiting every customer premises and uploaded in SAP for billing. The generated bill/invoice was again delivered to the customer manually. The client was finding it difficult to have an automated process for the same.

Our Approach

Looking at the challenges faced by the client and in view of growing customer base, it was felt to automate and combine meter reading and subsequent billing into one process and thus we came up with an idea to develop Spot Bill solution which can interact with SAP ISU billing engine.

Our Solution
