The Vend Utility platform

One system. Clear responsibility at every stage.

A connected operating environment for the complete electricity revenue lifecycle, with distinct controls for payment, vending, financial settlement and external system integration.

Built for the work after a meter is installed.

Vend Utility helps institutions manage the practical sequence between deployment and revenue: establish the meter and customer record, apply the commercial rules, collect payment, authorise vending, allocate value, settle participants and preserve the evidence.

The platform presents one operating experience to the client while maintaining clear boundaries between operational and financial outcomes.
