In Kenya’s rapidly growing urban developments, managing utilities efficiently is becoming a major challenge for landlords, developers, and property managers. Shared billing disputes, inaccurate readings, and revenue leakages are common.
At UMS Kenya, we solve this with AMR-enabled secondary smart metering solutions bringing automation, transparency, and control to utility management.
What is an AMR System?
Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is a smart technology that enables utility consumption data such as electricity and water to be collected remotely, without manual meter reading.
With UMS Kenya’s AMR-enabled systems:
- Consumption data is captured automatically
- Readings are transmitted remotely
- Billing becomes accurate and seamless
No more manual errors. No more guesswork.
What is Secondary Metering?
Secondary meters are installed after the main utility meter provided by the utility company.
In a typical property setup:
- The primary meter is installed by the utility provider
- UMS secondary meters are installed for each unit
This allows landlords and developers to:
- Track individual unit consumption
- Bill tenants fairly
- Eliminate shared billing conflicts
