Products & Services: Meters & Meter Reading

Water utilities of any size can access secure data at any time via Neptune’s managed services, using a cloud-hosted solution instead of an on-site server and avoiding new investments in IT and infrastructure. Personnel don’t have to monitor a network and can focus on collecting metering data, reducing non-revenue water, and providing customer service instead of having to download/apply system, security, or software updates.
