Part of the UNIMOD system by VOLAG System AG – Swiss market leader for mobile data capture in the energy sector.
From importing routes to exporting to billing: UNIMOD collect Server controls dispatching, reading devices, checking, reporting, archiving and automation – centrally and multi-tenant.
Import routes and master data from almost all billing and ERP systems – via standard interfaces (flat file, XML, SAP and further formats).
All routes at a glance: manage and control schedules, status and reading progress.
Assign routes to the reading devices (UNIMOD collect) and manage the devices centrally – who reads what, and by when.
Interpret, plausibility-check and verify the returned reading results – with error register, results list and meter status.
Clearly evaluate readings, load profiles, peak demand, voltage/currents, remarks, access attempts and key lists.
Export verified data via standard interfaces to almost all billing systems – plus GPS data and original files.
Archive, view and transfer completed routes, data and files – manually or fully automatically in the background.
Windows services and batches handle import, export, archiving, file transfer, monitoring and notification – scheduled and unattended.
Secure REST synchronisation with the UNIMOD collect devices – only changes are transferred, including photos and GPS.
Multiple tenants in a single installation, with user, group and role management as well as an audit log of all operations.
UNIMOD collect Server closes the loop between your billing system and mobile reading. Every step can be triggered manually or fully automated.
Import routes and master data from the billing system and prepare them for reading.
Schedule the routes and assign them to the reading devices (UNIMOD collect).
The devices read in the field, the results come back via sync and are interpreted and checked.
Export the verified data to billing – the route is then archived.
Recurring tasks run as Windows services and batches, unattended and scheduled – the back-office team only deals with the exceptions.
New routes and master data are imported automatically as soon as they are provided by the billing system.
Verified results are handed over to billing automatically in the correct format.
Completed routes are archived and cleaned up according to rules – the database stays lean.
Incoming and outgoing files are transferred automatically between the systems involved.
Monitoring of the processes with e-mail notification as soon as something needs attention.
Every step can be scheduled and run unattended – day and night, without manual intervention.
UNIMOD collect Server is the back office. The mobile app UNIMOD collect reads in the field and uses UNIMOD reader for that – the results flow back into the server.
The Windows back office: import, dispatching, device assignment, checking, export, archiving and automation – central and multi-tenant.
