Automated Energy Billing System

Multi-period electricity tariffs, tiered water pricing and monthly invoices including all taxes are calculated automatically and generated as PDF. An end to manual calculation errors.

Common Problems
The most critical energy management challenges faced in the industry

Manual Calculation Errors

Tariff calculations done by hand in Excel can include the wrong period assignment, an incorrect tax rate and a missing reactive penalty.

Late Invoice Delivery

The chain of meter reading → Excel calculation → PDF generation → email delivery takes weeks; tenant satisfaction drops.

Tariff Update Complexity

EPDK updates unit prices every year; all Excel formulas have to be revised from scratch.

Lack of Payment Tracking

Has the tenant paid? Is it past due? Overdue invoices are managed with a list that requires manual tracking.

Automatic PDF Invoice

Each month, electricity and water invoices are calculated automatically based on tenant consumption and generated as branded, logo-bearing PDFs.

Multi-Period Tariff

Separate unit prices are applied for the TEDAŞ daytime/peak/night periods; TRT fee, energy fund, BTV and VAT are added automatically.

💧

Tiered Water Tariff

The water invoice is calculated automatically, including the unit price that varies by m³ tier, the wastewater charge and VAT.

📷

OCR Invoice Verification

Consumption and amount are read automatically from a photo of an external TEDAŞ/İSKİ invoice and compared with the measurement in the system.

💳

Payment Tracking

Pending → Paid / Overdue status, due date and collection summary — all tenants in a single table.

📊

Cost Allocation

The cost of common areas (HVAC, elevators, lighting) is allocated to tenants by floor-area ratio or consumption share.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which invoice types are supported?

Electricity (multi-period, tiered) and water (tiered, including wastewater) invoice types are supported. Natural gas is tracked only through external invoice entry; it is not calculated automatically.

What happens when the EPDK tariff changes?

The system administrator enters the new unit prices through the interface. All future-period calculations are then performed automatically using this new tariff. Past invoices do not change.

Which invoice formats does OCR support?

The CK Boğaziçi Elektrik and İSKİ invoice formats used in Turkey are supported. If a clear photo of the invoice is uploaded, the consumption and amount are recognized automatically.

How does the tenant receive their invoice?

When the invoice PDF is generated, it can be sent automatically to the tenant by email from the system. The tenant can also log in with the VIEWER role and download their own invoices.
