Property managers face a myriad of challenges when it comes to utility billing, often resulting from discrepancies that frustrate residents, which can lead to negative reviews, financial losses, and decreased satisfaction. To combat these issues, Tehama Wireless provides advanced submetering technology that proactively addresses these challenges through near real-time solutions.

Third party residential billing companies can leave property managers in the dark, sometimes for as long as 60 days, when a battery dies, meters resort to using property averages for utility billing, often causing over/under billing for residents. This not only leads to understandably upset tenants but also jeopardizes the trust necessary for a successful property management relationship.
Timely alerts are crucial in maintaining this trust. By preventing billing inaccuracies before they arise, property managers can mitigate tenant frustrations and enhance overall satisfaction.
