Real schemes. Different requirements. One adaptable platform.

A factual view of the residential heating schemes supported by Prepago Platform and SnugZone—from small bill-pay developments to prepay networks serving hundreds of homes.

Home/Case Studies
Proven across different schemes

One system, adapted to the way each development operates.

Prepago Platform gives operators oversight of meters, customers, tariffs, balances and billing. SnugZone gives residents a straightforward way to view their account, make payments and understand their usage.

The live portfolio includes both bill-pay and prepay district-heating developments. Each development can use its own tariffs, operating rules and customer journey without losing the underlying metering history.

Scale without a one-size-fits-all setup.

Prepago supports both prepay and bill-pay district heating. The same core system can serve developments with different operating models while keeping each scheme’s rules and records separate.

Scheme scaleSmall to large

The platform can be configured for compact developments and larger residential heating networks.

Billing modelsPrepay and bill pay

Balances, payments, statements and billing can follow the model used by each scheme.

Operating historyBuilt for continuity

Long-running metering and customer records remain connected to the correct residential units.

Customer accessMobile and web

SnugZone provides self-service account information while Prepago Platform supports operator oversight.
