Supply Chain, Design, Specification and Technical Support

“Our mission is to take advantage of the latest technology, systems and best practice to ensure that our customers’ metering requirements are fulfilled, and their service expectations are exceeded."

From a utility or contractor’s point of view, your choice of supplier for metering packages may not appear at first sight to be a decision of great importance.

But it is!

What if your organisation enters the multi-utility market? It would certainly be preferable to be able to source all your metering requirements from one organisation, wouldn’t it? At the very least your transaction costs would be minimised, and you could benefit from the partnering opportunities which single sourcing opens up.

Meter Provida supplies metering packages for water, gas and electricity applications and we already have many clients who source all their metering requirements from us. Meter Provida works closely with key partners to develop viable solutions for metering supply programmes.

What if you need surface mounted, recessed and semi-concealed meter boxes – perhaps in a bespoke configuration for your client?

Meter Provida assembles all the metering packages we supply from our National Distribution Centre in Chesterfield. Our experienced technical support team is able to ‘mix and match’ meter boxes, meters and ancillary components to meet your specific requirements.

What if your customer fails to give you the planning information you need but still expects you to be able to satisfy their metering requirements at the drop of a hat? Would you feel comfortable that your current supplier was up to the job – or would you worry that you may end up letting your customer down?

Meter Provida, as a member of the Belfast Gas Supply Chain Alliance, is a winner of the European Supply Chain Excellence Award. We have implemented supply chain synchronisation techniques on major metering supply contracts and the resulting increase in agility and service levels has delivered real added value to these operations.

What if your current supplier is not in touch with the latest developments in metering technology? As a contractor you may be worried that your customer could look elsewhere. As a utility, you may be handing a competitive advantage straight to the competition.

Meter Provida is constantly investigating new products and systems to ensure that it remains at the forefront of metering developments.

What if your internal IT resource is not able to track metering installations and provide timely, accurate and validated management information?If you were able to stay one step ahead, minimise stocks, react quickly to developments on site – wouldn’t this give you the edge over your competitors?

Meter Provida has the systems infrastructure to manage customers’ meter portfolios. Futhermore, using telematics technology developed by another Fusion Group company, Origin, we are able to offer robust systems that capture and analyse site data in order to facilitate well-informed and responsive management decisions

Finally, what if you decide to enter markets outside the United Kingdom? Can you be sure that your supplier will be able to support your activities? After all, there are many operational areas that will have to change and it would be reassuring to know that at least your metering activities will be catered for without fuss?

Meter Provida works with supply partners from many countries and, based on our reputation and credibility in the United Kingdom, we are developing opportunities for our clients across the world. With access to the Fusion Group’s international network of distributors - all of whom understand the utility sectors in their respective countries – we can quickly provide local advice and support to help develop your business.
