## About the product

Screamer Automated Utility Billing (SAUB) is a managed utility billing and smart metering service for South African estates, landlords, and managing agents who need repeatable monthly recovery for water and electricity.

Key capabilities focus on producing consistent, explainable bills and supporting oversight across single properties or multi-site portfolios:
- **Automated monthly billing runs** that generate tenant-friendly statements with **clear line items**, **defined reading periods**, and supporting calculation detail to help reduce disputes.
- **Manual and smart metering workflows**, including **remote meter reading** and near real-time data collection (typically every 30 minutes), aligned to the billing cycle.
- **Exception handling and monitoring**, such as flags for **missing readings** or anomalies, **consumption summaries** for oversight, and **usage alerts** to help identify leaks, tampering, outages, or irregular usage.
- **Structured monthly outputs and audit trail**, providing reporting deliverables designed for trustees, finance teams, landlords, and managing agents.

Available on **Web** (browser-based platform and login portal).

Target users include **estates and bodies corporate**, **residential and commercial landlords**, and **managing agents** responsible for utility recovery across multi-unit and mixed-use properties.

SAUB is notable in South Africa for combining a billing engine with **operational delivery** (including tariff application and day-to-day processing) and for nationwide smart meter field support via Screamer Telecoms technicians. The site also cites **20+ years** of industry experience, **1,800+** multi-property portfolios, and **100,000+** smart meters managed.
