Unknown meters are a widespread problem in the real estate world. As a result, a lot of potential remains unused in terms of energy optimization. In addition, the required meter readings often remain a guessing game as a result. Without a complete meter picture, however, it becomes almost impossible to record and implement measures for energy optimization. If the meters are only read irregularly or incompletely, no reliable conclusions can be drawn about the consumption pattern.

In addition, current measurement services are still frequently associated with manual recording. On the one hand, this requires an immense amount of coordination and, on the other hand, involves the risk of typing or transmission errors.

Modern IT tools that mirror a digital twin of the property can solve this widespread problem. As a result, landlords and property managers always have an overview of all their meters. In addition, they receive a transparent display of all the technical and operational data of their properties. The correct reading of meter readings is now only a mouse click away.

But with meter reading apps, this process can be simplified considerably. A barcode on the meter helps to assign the meter correctly. By scanning the barcode with a conventional smartphone, all the relevant information required becomes visible in the app. A document photo is then stored in the system for the meter reading process.
