Remote readings typed in again
Meters already send readings to the office, but staff still enter them into billing software because the two systems are not connected.
Connected data, streamlined workflows
WETEC deploys software and connects billing, GIS, SCADA and metering devices, so figures reach the people who need them without being re-keyed by hand.
Common situations
Signs that your data is fragmented
Bank payments matched one by one
Customers have paid by bank transfer, yet accounts staff still match every payment by hand. At month end this takes days.
Reports wait on every department
Plant, network and commercial figures sit in separate systems. Managers who need one total have to wait for each department to send theirs.

Scope of work
Deploy new software, connect existing systems
WETEC follows your business workflows and identifies the data to synchronise and the third-party systems that need to be connected.
Software deployment
We configure WETEC products or build software around your requirements. Legacy data is cleaned, migrated and checked again before go-live.
Deliverables
- Deployment and data migration plan
- System tested with your users
Data integration
We connect software to meters, payment gateways and related systems, and agree shared customer IDs, meter IDs and matching rules so figures stay consistent.
Deliverables
- Systems integration plan
- Figures that match across departments
Delivery process
Four steps from survey to go-live
The data scope, test approach and switch-over date are agreed before any build work starts.
Survey
WETEC engineers work with each department to map workflows, data sources and the connections required.
Current-state reportDesign
Agree the integration architecture, data migration scope and acceptance criteria.
Integration planBuild and test
Configure the system, then run real workflows with your users and reconcile the figures.
Test sign-offGo live
Train users, hand over documentation and support the first weeks of live operation.
System and user guides
How we deliver
Upgrade systems without interrupting work
WETEC prioritises deploying upgrades as a version that runs alongside your existing system.
Keep what already works
Software and devices that run well are kept and connected. We replace them only when it is truly needed.
Reconcile before acceptance
Departments check readings, bills and transactions in the new system against the agreed criteria.
Switch over at the right time
The new system is thoroughly tested and rolled out in stages during off-peak hours.
Train people for their roles
Business users and administrators learn their own tasks, with documentation and a named support contact.
