Overview

A complete billing operation platform for water supply operators

Water billing requires accurate meter records, customer service accounts, tariff rules, payment tracking, receipt control, arrears management, and reliable monthly reports. AUTOBill Cloud connects water customer accounts, meter readings, usage calculation, bills, payments, receipts, outstanding balances, reconciliation, and revenue reports in one controlled cloud platform.

01

Customer and meter control

Organize customer accounts, service addresses, meter numbers, reading history, account status, zones, routes, and balance history.

02

Usage and tariff calculation

Calculate water usage from previous and current readings, apply water tariffs, service charges, penalties, discounts, and billing cycles.

03

Collection and arrears visibility

Track paid, unpaid, partial, overdue, and arrears balances with reports for water revenue, collection performance, and management review.

Common Challenges

Water billing becomes risky when readings, payments and reports are disconnected

Many water operators still depend on paper reading sheets, Excel files, manual payment confirmation, and separate receipt records. This can create mistakes, delays, disputes, and unclear revenue visibility.

💧

Manual meter reading records

Previous and current readings can be difficult to verify when recorded in paper or scattered Excel files.

🧮

Usage calculation mistakes

Manual calculation creates risk when usage, tariffs, minimum charges, penalties, or discounts are involved.

📌

Unclear arrears and unpaid bills

Operators need fast visibility into unpaid customers, overdue balances, arrears, and collection follow-up lists.

💳

Payment confirmation delay

Cash, bank transfer, KHQR, and gateway payment records are difficult to match with water bills manually.

🧾

Receipt and cashier control

Receipt history, payment corrections, cancellations, and cashier closing need stronger operational control.

📊

Slow water revenue reports

Monthly water billing, collection, arrears, zone performance, and usage reports take too long to prepare manually.
