Features

Built for ease of use.
No training required.

Snap & Bill is designed so field staff are reading meters on day one and administrators are billing within the hour. Every feature is built around simplicity — without sacrificing the control and auditability that property managers need.

Mobile App

iOS & Android — one photo, one reading, move on.

The mobile app is the tool field staff use to capture meter readings. The entire process is a single photo. Staff point their camera at the meter, take a photo (or upload from the gallery), and the app does the rest.

The app detects the meter ID from the tag fixed to the meter — a printed sticker or engraved acrylic plate — then pulls the lot details, previous reading, and expected consumption range from the cloud. Staff type in the new reading, hit submit, and move to the next meter. Readings are queued and synced automatically.

  • Available on iPhone and Android
  • Photo capture at every reading — timestamped proof of consumption
  • Expected range validation — flags readings outside historical averages before saving
  • Duplicate detection — warns if a reading for that lot already exists in the current session
  • Manual entry fallback for unreadable tags
  • Real-time progress tracking — see exactly which meters are done and which are pending

Cloud Admin Portal

Full visibility. Full control. From any browser.

No installation required. Log in from any browser, anywhere. The dashboard gives you an immediate picture of where every property stands — open sessions, completed cycles, and any sites that haven’t been billed recently.

  • Automatic bill calculation, generation, and email dispatch on cycle close
  • Support for electricity, water, waste water, sewer, and gas meters
  • Tiered rate support — different rates per consumption band
  • Meter rental fees, service charges, and tax applied automatically
  • Multiple email addresses per lot

Reading Validation

Problems flagged before they become invoice errors.

Before you can close a billing cycle, Snap & Bill checks every reading against expected consumption. Anomalies — drops, spikes, or missing readings — are surfaced with a clear explanation so you can investigate and correct before anything reaches an owner.

Review Required warning — consumption dropped significantly
The system prevents closing until flagged readings are reviewed and acknowledged

You cannot accidentally close a cycle with unreviewed anomalies. The system requires explicit acknowledgement of every flagged reading before the close button becomes available.

Email Dispatch & Deliverability

Smart sending — with a safety net built in.

Invoices don’t fly out the moment you close a cycle. Snap & Bill gives you two layers of protection before any email reaches an owner.

  • Deliverability check before every mailout — the system flags addresses that bounced in the previous cycle, giving you the chance to correct them before sending again
  • Scheduled dispatch at 10pm by default — emails are queued, not sent immediately. This gives you a window to cancel if you spot a problem after closing the cycle
  • Full email delivery report per lot — delivered, failed, and timestamp for every recipient
  • Multiple recipient addresses per lot — owners, tenants, and accountants all in one send

Mailing report — per-lot delivery status with timestamp. Failed addresses are flagged for correction before the next cycle.
Integrations

Smart meter ready — API & BMS integration.

Snap & Bill exposes an API for integration with third-party Building Management Systems (BMS) and smart meter infrastructure, allowing readings to be pushed automatically and seamlessly — eliminating manual field surveys entirely for compatible installations. Bulk upload via Excel is also supported for properties transitioning from legacy systems.
