Background
Before working with FUTURISE, Mr. Mwangi managed electricity for his apartment buildings using traditional meters. The process was inefficient and difficult to control:
  • Futurise Technologies Co., Ltd.

    Manual meter reading every month

  • Futurise Technologies Co., Ltd.

    Frequent payment delays from tenants

  • Futurise Technologies Co., Ltd.

    Electricity bill disputes due to unclear data

  • Futurise Technologies Co., Ltd.

    Revenue loss caused by inaccurate readings and power misuse

Futurise Technologies Co., Ltd.
I spent a lot of time checking meters and chasing payments, but still faced losses every month.”
- Mr. Mwangi

Mr. Mwangi deployed FUTURISE QPM16 single-phase keypad prepayment meters across all apartments, combined with our online vending and management platform.

Results & Measurable Impact

Once the system was put into use, the project achieved clear improvements in both operation and financial control.
Users could see their electricity usage and billing information more clearly, and payments became faster and more convenient. At the same time, Mr. Amin gained more accurate visibility into power load conditions, energy costs, and income performance.

  • Through tamper detection and prepaid control

    Reduced electricity loss by around 15–20%
