Remote reading of gas, water and electricity meters
Readings arrive on their own, with date and time. No reading rounds, no estimated bills to reconcile later, no disputes over figures nobody can verify any more.

What manual meter reading really costs
The cost of the reading round is only the part you can see.
The reading round
Staff, travel, missed appointments, meters behind a locked gate. And next month it starts all over again.
Estimated bills and reconciliations
With no reading you bill an estimate, and sooner or later the reconciliation lands: the customer's call, the check, the credit note.
Leaks found far too late
With one reading every six months, a continuous leak only becomes visible once it has already turned into an amount that is hard to explain.
What you see in the portal
For every metering point, with the full history.
Reading with date and time
The register value and the exact moment it was recorded.
Consumption curve
Daily, monthly or over any period you choose, with the chart already built.
Period comparison
This month against the same month last year, to tell whether a change is real.
Consumption alerts
Thresholds on measured or calculated values, with email and SMS notification.
Meters that go quiet
If a metering point stops transmitting beyond the configured threshold, it gets flagged.
Export and APIs
CSV for the spreadsheet, REST and SOAP APIs for the billing system.
What data it collects
The typical quantities of a metering point. Which ones are actually available depends on the meter.
| Quantity | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Register | The meter index: the number you actually bill on. |
| Period consumption | The difference between two readings, computed by the platform over any interval. |
| Reading date and time | Makes the reading verifiable and defensible in a dispute. |
| Instantaneous flow | Where the meter exposes it, it reveals continuous flow that should not be there. |
| Device status | Battery and diagnostics: lets you schedule maintenance rather than react to it. |
| Meter alarms | The alerts the device itself transmits, surfaced in the portal. |
From these quantities you can derive calculated values using configurable formulas — averages, minimums within a time window, aggregated consumption — and set thresholds and alerts on those in turn.
How it gets up and running
On the meters you already have, provided they can communicate.
You send us a sample
A real transmission from the meter, or from the concentrator that collects the readings.
We configure the parsing
The format is described once and applies to every metering point of the same type.
You link the records
Metering point, customer, address and consumption alert thresholds.
Readings arrive on their own
In the portal, in exports and through the API, ready for billing.
Questions about remote meter reading
With meters that make their readings available digitally, either directly or through a concentrator. The platform is not tied to a manufacturer: it is configured against the format of the messages that arrive. Send us a sample transmission and within a few days we will tell you whether and how it connects.
No, provided the meters already transmit. WebGoCloud sits downstream: it receives the data and interprets it. Replacement is only needed when a meter has no way of communicating its readings to the outside world at all.
Yes. Readings with date, time and register value can be exported to CSV or read through REST and SOAP APIs, so the billing system works on measured data instead of estimates.
By setting a threshold. Beyond the raw readings you can create calculated values using formulas — minimum consumption within a time window, for example — and raise an alert when they cross the limit you have set.
How many metering points do you have to read?
Send us a sample transmission from your meter or concentrator. Within a few days we will tell you whether WebGoCloud can read it — no commitment, no cost.
