Buying Electricity and Issuing
of Voucher Numbers
Each prepaid electrical meter has a unique
identification number. The vouchers for the meters work on an encripted
numbering system which are individaully generated by Meter Mate. Each
voucher is specific to the meter it was generated for and cannot be
used on any other meter.
There are three methods for
generating Voucher Numbers and Managing Payments
- Fixed Cost per Transaction Model
This model is a largely manual process where voucher numbers are generated
by Meter Mate, Issued to the Property Manager who in turn sells them
to the Tenant. (click

- Percentage Owner / Manager Model
This model is ideal for the owner / manager of one or a
few smaller properties. The individual properties are included into
the full Meter Mate payment system which receives payment on behalf
of the owner / manager for a percentage charge per transaction. Payments
can be made at many outlets country wide or over the internet. (click

- Bulk Metering and Account Management Model
This is a fully automated model with reporting that relieves
you of the worries associated with managing your multiple electricity
accounts and is ideal for complexes or multiple unit buildings. If
you own several properties or you are a property manager then this
will simplify the task of revenue collection and payment of your electricity,
levies and maintenance costs. Payments can be made at many outlets
country wide or over the internet. (click
