MyVoltage Utility Management Platform

MyVoltage Utility Management Platform is a cloud-based smart metering and utility management service for buildings, residential estates, shopping centres, and residential, commercial, and corporate use. Its meters cover electricity, water, and gas, while landlords and tenants can view real-time consumption by hour, week, and month. The platform can alert users to irregular consumption, water leaks, meter status changes, meter location, and consumption data. Its accounting tools reconcile billing, payments, and usage, and support monthly reconciliations. Invoices are based on actual meter readings rather than estimates, with daily invoices for the previous day’s use. Other listed capabilities include network balancing, council statements and payments, historical data, rent collection, and alternative-energy readings and bills. Solar and generator use can be tracked and billed from readings. Tenants can top up online by credit card or cash, subject to terms and conditions; the maker says prepaid Wallet recharges have no cost. MyVoltage applies approved NERSA and municipal tariffs where applicable and states a 99% uptime guarantee and 3D-secure payment transactions. Pricing is available on request.

MyVoltage brings utility readings, billing, payments, alerts, and property-related collections into a cloud platform. Its actual-reading invoicing and support for several utility types may suit property operations, while pricing requires an inquiry.

MyVoltage suits property managers and owners handling utility metering, billing, and collections across buildings, estates, or shopping centres. Tenants can also use it to review consumption and top up online.

Overview

MyVoltage is a cloud platform for tracking and managing electricity, water, and gas across properties. It is best suited to operators who need resident utility billing alongside property collections and meter oversight. Actual-reading billing and a broad mix of utility and property functions make it a substantial option, though custom pricing leaves cost fit to establish during a quote.

Key features

Meter visibility and alerts

Smart meters feed real-time consumption data to landlords and tenants, with hourly, weekly, and monthly views. Alerts cover irregular use, water leaks, and meter status changes; meter location and consumption data are also surfaced. That visibility can help property teams investigate unusual usage while giving residents a way to follow their own consumption. Operators who need only a billing ledger may find this operational scope unnecessary.

Billing and payments

The accounting platform connects meter readings, consumption, invoices, and payments, with monthly reconciliations. MyVoltage says invoices use actual readings rather than estimates and are generated daily for the previous day’s use. It applies approved NERSA and municipal tariffs, including incline block tariffs where applicable. Tenants can top up online by credit card or cash, subject to terms and conditions; prepaid Wallet recharges carry no charge. The maker also says payment transactions are 3D secure.

Property operations and energy

Network balancing, council statements and payments, historical data, rent collection, and other property-related charges extend the platform beyond utility accounts. Solar and generator consumption can be tracked and billed from readings, which is useful for properties managing alternative energy alongside conventional utilities. The platform supports multiple utility types and property workflows in one system, but buyers should weigh that breadth against their own operational needs.

MyVoltage states a 99% uptime guarantee. Its PAIA/POPIA manual describes access permissions, access controls, and safeguards against unauthorized access to personal information. The privacy policy says the site collects device, contact, or order information, may use Google Analytics, and may share information to meet legal requirements. For meter-reading disputes, the maker provides customer care at [email protected].

Pricing

MyVoltage is paid software with custom pricing. There are no published plan tiers or prices to compare, so property operators should request a quote to determine how the cost fits their portfolio and requirements. The no-cost prepaid Wallet recharge is a payment feature, not a free software plan.

Platforms

MyVoltage is offered on Android, iOS, and the web. The maker also invites users to download a mobile app.

Who it's for

The platform is aimed at buildings, residential estates, and shopping centres across residential, commercial, and corporate property operations. Its resident billing and online collections make it relevant to landlords and property teams handling utility charges, while the metering and accounting features also suit commercial properties managing multiple utility types. Buyers looking for a simpler or more narrowly scoped billing tool should compare the quote and workflow against their actual requirements.

Pros and cons

• Actual-reading invoices: Billing from meter readings, with daily invoices for the prior day, avoids basing charges on estimates.
• Broad utility coverage: Electricity, water, gas, and alternative-energy readings can be managed alongside billing and collections.
• Resident visibility: Real-time usage views and online top-ups give tenants direct access to consumption and payments.
• Custom pricing: Buyers must request a quote, making it harder to assess affordability before engaging with the vendor.
• Conditional payment options: Credit-card and cash recharges are subject to terms and conditions.

Verdict
