DTech New Solution

Utility companies across India still employed paper-based meter reading with frequent data entry errors, billing delays, and no way to verify whether agents actually visited meter locations. Manual data re-entry into billing systems added 2-3 days to billing cycles.

We built a React Native offline-first app with SQLite for local persistence and Room-style sync logic. QR scanning via camera reduces reading time per meter by 70%. GPS verification with a tolerance radius confirms physical presence. A Node.js backend handles bulk sync events and pushes validated readings to billing APIs in real time.

QR/Barcode Meter Scanning

Instant meter identification via QR code or barcode scan. Eliminates manual meter number entry and the errors that come with it.

Offline Data Capture

Field agents capture readings without internet. Data stored locally in SQLite, syncs to cloud instantly on reconnection.

GPS-Verified Readings

Every reading is tagged with GPS coordinates to verify the agent was physically at the meter location.

Photo Evidence Capture

Agents photograph meter displays, anomalies, and tampering. Photos auto-attached to reading records.

Billing System Integration

Direct API integration with DISCOM and municipal billing systems for instant invoice generation post-collection.

Route Optimisation

Automated daily route scheduling optimises field agent paths to maximise readings per day.
