Save up to €40,000 with Mapping Functionality for Water Utilities
02 November 2011

H2OCIS, Ultan Technologies' Billing and Customer Information solution for Water Utilities, provides mapping functionality for free.
Up to now, Water Schemes have paid Engineering companies up to €40,000 to map all of their water meters. They got a a static map and an AutoCad disc for this €40,000.
Documentation on how to access the mapping functionality in the H2OCIS product is available here.
Maps in the H2OCIS are interactive:
- Details about any item can appear on the map - for example a meter's current reading can appear beside the meter
- New items (meters and customers) can easily be added by the H2OCIS user and old ones removed
- The user can use search functionality to only display selected items on a map - for example a map showing only the meters on a particular route
- They can zoom in and out
- They can display a road map view, an aerial view or a combination of both
If a Water Scheme has already mapped their meters, they can easily upload all co-ordinates to the system. If they don't already have co-ordinates, they can use H2OCIS to plot each customer and meter on a map.
In future versions of the product, additional functionality will be available including:
- Phone applications for reading meters – these will use the maps and will notify the reader when they are close to a relevant meter
- The ability to attach a photo to each meter – great for accurately showing its location
- Route planning for meter reading - including creating routes on popular Satellite Navigation systems
- Plotting a complete pipe network
- Plotting items such as booster pumps, scour valves, stop valves, sluice valves, treatment facilities, sources, intake pipes, source catchment areas, etc
- Relevant information on each of these items (e.g. the turn direction for a valve)
- Plotting possible leaks
- Different icons for each of the different types of items on the map
If you have access to the product you can see the maps in action now - see documentation here.
