Pylon

Pylon is a web-based utility management platform for water and electricity companies and major energy consumers in emerging markets. It connects to metering and network infrastructure to provide real-time oversight of energy and water distribution, detect losses like theft or leaks, support billing and revenue recovery, and offer energy management tools for monitoring and optimizing usage across multiple sites.

Pylon uses a paid subscription model aligned with a smart-meter-as-a-service approach, charging recurring fees per meter that cover access to hardware, software, maintenance, and support. Exact prices are not publicly listed for this product, so you will need to contact the team for a tailored quote.

Pylon is focused on emerging markets, with publicly referenced deployments in Africa and projects in countries such as Egypt and Colombia. It also indicates expansion efforts into regions like Latin America and Southeast Asia.

To sign up for Pylon, you can reach out to the team via the contact email addresses provided on the site and request a demo or commercial engagement. In practice, onboarding is handled through direct sales and implementation for utilities and large energy consumers rather than self-service signup.

Pylon is best suited for electricity and water utilities, as well as industrial, telecom, and other large energy consumers that need real-time visibility into their energy and water distribution networks. It is particularly designed for organizations operating in emerging markets that must deal with legacy infrastructure and interoperability challenges.
