READ Live
Automatic meter reading
Readings are pushed from each meter throughout the day, roughly every ten minutes, and stored with their timestamps. No site visits.
Features
What Metriq does today.
Every item on this page is live in the production platform, except the ones clearly marked as coming soon.
PRICE Live
Four tariff engines
Flat rate, time-of-use (named windows such as peak, standard and off-peak, by hour and weekday, in your time zone), block tariffs priced tier by tier, and reactive-energy charges for commercial supplies.
PLAN Live
Shared tariff plans
One plan covers many tenants. When the municipality moves its rates, one edit reprices everyone on the plan.
CYCLE Live
Your billing day
Pick any day from the 1st to the 28th. Periods are full months in your property’s time zone, and changing the day never skips or double-bills.
SPLIT Live
Fixed & common charges
A monthly fixed charge and a common-property share, each switchable for the building with per-tenancy overrides.
PDF Live
Itemised PDF invoices
Emailed to every tenant with the PDF attached, showing readings, tariff plan, each charge and its basis.
PORTAL Live
Tenant portal
Invoices plus month-to-date kWh, a cost projection, six months of history and the last 24 hours. One login across several units.
OWNER Live
Owner portal
Landlords see their own properties, tenants, meters, invoices and reports, and nothing that isn’t theirs.
REPORT Live
Monthly insight reports
Power-factor alerts with capacitor-bank recommendations, peak versus off-peak use and load-shifting opportunities, month-on-month revenue and top consumers.
WATCH Live
Data-feed monitoring
The platform raises an alert when meter data stops arriving, so gaps are chased before billing day.
SAFE Live
Safe re-runs
Billing runs are idempotent. Running a period again never produces a second invoice for the same tenant and month.
AUTH Live
Accounts done properly
Role-based access for admins, owners and tenants; password reset by single-use, time-limited email link.

Roadmap
Coming soon.
These are designed or built, but not yet switched on in production. We would rather ship them late than ship them wrong, so there are no dates here.
Coming soon
Overdue tracking
Invoices flagged as overdue automatically once their due date passes, visible to owners and tenants.
Coming soon
Partial payments & balances
Record part-payments and see paid-so-far and outstanding balance on every invoice.
Coming soon
Payment reminders
Automatic, deduplicated reminders to tenants with overdue invoices.
Coming soon
WhatsApp notifications
Invoice notifications on WhatsApp alongside email.
