Meter Monitoring & Alerts: Real-Time Visibility, With a Team Behind Every Alert
Broken meters and leaks can run for months before anyone notices, quietly distorting billing and recovery. Billee monitors meter activity continuously and puts a team behind every alert to dispatch, investigate, and resolve it, not just flag it.

Billee's dashboard shows live meter status, active alerts, and resolution history for every property in the portfolio, so nothing runs undetected until the next invoice.
Broken meters don't announce themselves
A slow leak, especially water, can run up a master-meter bill well before anyone notices the usage pattern is wrong. An HVAC malfunction in a vacant unit can burn electricity for weeks with nobody around to catch it, and without portfolio-level visibility, none of it surfaces until the invoice arrives.
How Meter Monitoring & Alerts works
Billee monitors meter activity continuously across every property, not just at billing time.
An unexpected spike, a sudden drop, or a flatline indicating broken hardware generates an intelligent alert.
The alert routes to the Billee team, not just a dashboard notification queue.
The team dispatches for repair, contacts the resident, pulls the meter for inspection, or escalates to the owner.
The resolution and its cause get logged, so the same issue is easier to catch if it recurs.
This pairs directly with Vacant Cost Recovery: monitoring catches unexpected usage in a vacant unit, and the same team that resolves meter issues recovers the cost.

Meter Monitoring & Alerts at a glance
Catching a broken meter or a leak in days instead of at the next invoice is the difference between a minor repair and a bill shock, and it keeps ESG and recovery reporting built on data that hasn't been silently distorted.
Works With the Systems You Already Run
Meter Monitoring pulls property and unit data from Yardi, RealPage, and Entrata to tie every alert to a specific unit and resident status, and works with AMR (automated meter reading) infrastructure across major hardware vendors.

Meter Monitoring & Alerts, Answered
Straight answers about how Meter Monitoring & Alerts works, from the same account team that runs it for your portfolio.
What does Meter Monitoring & Alerts actually monitor?
Meter Monitoring & Alerts tracks real-time usage across every meter in the portfolio, watching for spikes, unexplained drops, and flatlined readings that indicate broken hardware.
What happens after an alert fires?
A Billee team member investigates and takes action: dispatching a repair, contacting the resident, pulling the meter for inspection, or escalating to the owner. The alert starts the response; it isn't the response.
How is this different from checking the monthly utility invoice?
Monthly invoice review catches problems weeks or months after they start. Meter Monitoring surfaces the same issues in near real time, while they're still a minor repair instead of a bill shock.
Does Meter Monitoring help with liability from undetected leaks?
Yes. Catching a leak or broken meter quickly limits the property's exposure to water damage claims and disputes tied to an unusually high bill.
Does Meter Monitoring work with my existing meter hardware?
Meter Monitoring works with AMR (automated meter reading) infrastructure across major hardware vendors, pulling usage data into one portfolio-level view regardless of which brand is installed.
How does this relate to Vacant Cost Recovery?
Meter Monitoring often catches the same signal VCR acts on: unexpected usage in a unit that should be vacant. The two products are commonly used together for that reason.
