# Utility billing & meter reconciliation

Meter readings and supplier bills are collected all year, costs allocated to units by the agreed keys, and anomalous consumption flagged the month it happens — a leak, a billing error, a meter swap. Annual statements come out accurate and understandable, without the reconciliation marathon.

## What it solves

01

### The annual reconciliation marathon

Statements assemble themselves from data collected all year.

02

### Allocation errors & disputes

Costs split by the agreed keys, every step documented.

03

### Anomalies found a year late

Leaks and billing errors flag in the month they happen.

## How it works

1. 01

    ### Collect

    Meter readings and supplier bills arrive by photo, e-mail or API.

2. 02

    ### Check

    Consumption is compared to history; anomalies are flagged with a likely cause.

3. 03

    ### Allocate

    Costs split across units by the agreed keys, documented step by step.

4. 04

    ### Settle

    Annual statements generate per unit, clear enough for tenants to understand.

## Before & after

### Without it

- Spring spent reconciling last year's bills
- Leaks and billing errors surface a year late
- Allocation steps reconstructed from memory
- Tenants dispute statements nobody can explain

### With it

- Statements assembled from year-round data
- Anomalies flagged the month they happen
- Every allocation step documented
- Statements tenants understand at first read
