Use Case
Smart Metering
Turn meter readings into a live utilities picture.
Continuous, automated collection of electricity, water and gas consumption data — replacing manual meter reads with real-time dashboards and audit-ready reporting.
The problem
Manual meter reads are slow, sparse, and hard to act on
Most organizations still measure utility consumption through periodic manual reads or a monthly bill — data that arrives too late and too infrequently to catch waste, let alone act on it.
As sustainability and ESG reporting requirements grow, that same sparse data is expected to support audits and disclosures it was never built for.

Trend and KPI dashboards turn raw readings into a live picture of consumption.
The issue
Waste is only visible once it has already been paid for.

Meter-level records export cleanly into whatever reporting or billing process consumes them downstream.
The issue
A full metering overhaul is a large capital ask.

How it works
From meter to insight, automatically
- Step 01
Capture
Smart meters continuously capture real-time consumption data across electricity, water and gas.
- Electricity, water and gas from smart meters
- Interval-level granularity instead of monthly bills
- Peaks and off-hour use visible as they occur
- Step 02
Transmit
Meter data is securely transmitted to the XiGiFy platform.
- Readings arrive continuously, not at the end of a cycle
- Every reading time-stamped at meter level
- A traceable path back to the source meter
- Step 03
XiGiFy Brain
Analyze
Dashboards, trends and KPIs turn raw readings into insight for cost and sustainability teams.
- Consumption KPIs and trend charts for cost and sustainability teams
- A one-off spike separated from a sustained deviation
- Sites compared per m² or per occupant
- Step 04
Report
Consumption records are structured for accurate ESG disclosures and internal audits.
- Audit-ready, meter-level records
- Exports cleanly into ESG disclosures and internal audits
- Underperforming buildings visible, not averaged into a total
Capabilities
What's included
Multi-utility monitoring
Electricity, water and gas consumption tracked continuously from smart meters, at interval-level granularity — replacing monthly bills with a live picture that surfaces peaks, off-hour use and drift before the cycle closes.
Trend & KPI dashboards
Consumption KPIs and trend charts give cost and sustainability teams the same live picture operations teams have — surface a baseline shift, a peak-demand pattern or a persistent inefficiency the moment it appears rather than after the invoice lands.
Waste & anomaly detection
Abnormal consumption is flagged as it happens, so corrective action can be taken inside the reporting period rather than after it. The system distinguishes a one-off spike from a sustained deviation so teams know whether to investigate immediately or schedule a review.
Audit-ready records
Time-stamped, meter-level records with a traceable path back to the source — the difference between a number for a spreadsheet and an evidenced number for an auditor. Structured to export cleanly into ESG disclosures and internal review processes.
Portfolio & multi-site comparison
Consumption intensity compared across sites on the same basis — electricity per square metre, water per occupant — so the buildings actually underperforming against their peers are visible rather than averaged into a portfolio total.
