The Energy and Utilities sector relies on meter reading approvals for accurate billing and energy consumption. The process of approving meter reading involves verification, cross-checking with past data, and ensuring compliance with industry standards. All these steps are data intensive and typically involve multiple review stages, where employees end up spending most of their time. Going through meter readings manually and approving them is prone to potential errors, inefficiencies, inaccuracies, and delays that end up in potential revenue loss, billing disputes, and customer dissatisfaction. 

Here is where automation can help. Automation of the review and approval process can easily overcome these challenges. Doing so not only speeds up approval, but also improves accuracy and enhances customer satisfaction. Automation allows real-time validation of data and accurate recording and verification of meter reading, and also identifies and addresses any discrepancy immediately. Moreover, automated meter reading approval workflows comply with regulatory standards, which reduces the risk of non-compliance and penalties.
