prepayment option without replacing the meter. The Orga Systems platform handles all tariffs, pricing, and balance management details including multiple balances from standard interval data. Save money by deploying a “thin” meter-based centralized billing.

• Multi-commodity. The OS.Energy and EnergyIP combined solution supports gas, water, and electric utilities. Multi- utility companies are able to leverage a cross-utility convergence – an important option to differentiate in a competitive environment.
