All you do is market and bill; buy the metering as a service.

Making It Easy To Do Business

Skymeter takes the complexity out of charging drivers. You no longer need to be a technology expert to measure vehicle use; no more infrastructure, massive databases or complex systems required. Skymeter’s metering-as-a-service turns driving into a stream of financial transactions, set according to your charging scheme. The firm handles and keeps the data required to validate and collect on the financial transaction. Using Skymeter is almost as easy as taking Mastercard.

Three Simple Steps: install meters, receive data, bill drivers

1. Install meters: Skymeter ships you ready-to-operate, ‘plug and play’ meters. Meters can be self-installed by drivers, installed by unskilled staff, or professionally installed in a service center.

2. Receive data: Skymeter turns driving and parking into billing items, based on your rules. You get a data feed to your billing center, formatted as you request, at a level of detail that is acceptable to the driver.

3. Bill Drivers: that’s it!! Offer your service to drivers. Bill them per use, reducing your risk and improving your service quality.

The Complexity Behind the Service

Although Skymeter makes it simple, metering the use of vehicles is complex. Transactions must be recorded and selected reliably, so every transaction is collectible and enforceable. The system must be highly scalable and flexible. It must have a low total cost of ownership. It must operate in millions of cars or trucks, driving on a constantly changing road network. Drivers may attempt to tamper with the system in any of a number of ways. Infrastructure owners can require an audit feed from an independent third party. Skymeter offers all this.
