Smart tech
Recognising problems, providing solutions
The biggest blocker to reducing energy inefficiencies is lack of insight. Our expert smart metering solutions will help change the way you think about data and optimise your business better than ever before.
Problem 1
Why is access to smart data so important?
The first step in the journey to a smarter future is recognising the need to improve access to smart data.
Lack of insight stunts innovation
Without visibility into your energy consumption data, it’s incredibly difficult to pinpoint inefficiencies, highlight ways to eradicate energy usage, and streamline your business.
Gaining access requires heavy investment
Having sight of smart meter data is a tricky process that usually requires you to establish your own connection to the Data Communications Company (DCC). Not only is this expensive, but it’s time-consuming and involves large security auditing.
Utilising raw data can be challenging
Once you have access to customer data, the sheer quantity can be overwhelming. Analysing the right information isn’t easy, and turning that into actionable solutions is even harder.
Our solution
Smart Datastream
Gaining instant access to smart meter data flows with flexible automation will help you develop innovative applications and take your business to the next level. Here’s all the ways it can help.
Backdated data
Once you partner with us, you’ll have access to up to 13 months of historical data, alongside near real-time smart meter data, energy efficiency ratings, and low-carbon tech usage going forward.
Tailored insight
Start making data-driven decisions with our fully customisable user interface. From easy-to-use charts, to intricate overlaying graphs, keep track of your high energy performers and areas to improve with full portfolio management.
Financial growth
Having constant visibility over your consumption means seeing inefficiencies before they become a problem. We’ll help you reduce your energy wastage and save £££s for the things that help your business grow.
Ecofit integration
In-depth property analysis helps us give personalized energy-saving advice, find green investment opportunities, and even highlight free efficiency grants for your business, without you lifting a finger.
Established connections
By leveraging Procode’s tried and trusted connection to the DCC, you can develop innovative applications for energy customers and services without heavily investing your time and money.
Consent capture
Getting consent to access customer data is usually a hurdle, but Procode’s unique consent widget can be embedded directly into your own sign-up journey – taking away the pain of reaching out to each customer individually.

Problem 2
How can data outages harm your business?
Without access to ever-present data, your insight will suffer, and your customers can too.
Data reporting can be unreliable
All smart meter data is filtered through from the Data Communications Company. While incredibly valuable, the DCC is susceptible to both planned and unplanned outages.
Every outage creates a data blind spot
Whenever the DCC is unavailable, visibility on your customer’s smart meter behaviours turns to zero. All the usual insight on consumption, low-carbon tech usage, and more, disappears and won’t return until the DCC is back online.
DCC downtime puts customers at risk
Not only will you miss out on valuable data to drive decisions, but outages can lead to supply disruptions across your smart meter portfolio – which puts vulnerable customers at risk.
Our solution
Intelligent Data Adapter
Our cutting-edge adapter facilitates seamless communication with the DCC and will empower your business with consistent data access, tailored insight, and the ability to send commands to meters easier than ever before.
Industry-leading availability
The Intelligent Data Adapter is designed to be always on – unless the DCC is down, we almost never have outages. We’ll even work with you directly to understand your needs and try to reduce the impact that the DCC being offline has on your business.
One size fits all
Thanks to our unique advanced orchestration layer, you won’t need a different adapter for each smart meter type - our IDA can be connected to all meters.
Proactivity, not reactivity
By partnering with us, you’ll be able to detect disruptions before your customers phone in. From noticing meters are off supply, to highlighting areas where there are potential leaks, we’ll help you highlight the size of the problem in minutes rather than hours.
Easy API integration
Our IDA can be easily integrated with existing company systems via API, as well as through an intuitive, flexible and fully customisable portal that will evolve over time as your business needs change.
Versatile to your needs
Both Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), and energy suppliers alike can utilise our tech to drill down and gain insight from the vast majority of meters across the UK, including prepayment and credit meters.
Financial benefit
By highlighting ways to increase your efficiency, we can help reduce your business costs. We’ve helped partners reduce their install time by up to 10 minutes on average – a substantial saving when scaled up to an entire customer base.

Problem 3
Why is testing crucial to a seamless operation?
Without comprehensive smart meter testing, it’s only a matter of time before something catches you by surprise.
Remote testing labs aren’t always possible
Properly testing smart meter functions and capabilities can be complicated and very expensive, so many businesses simply don’t have the infrastructure to conduct their own testing.
Company constraints lead to poor testing
Even if a remote testing lab is available, tight budgets can make it difficult to access specialised equipment to test specific scenarios – while staff shortages and capacity mean that peak testing periods may become unmanageable without long-term investment.
That’s when things can go wrong
Without adequate testing, businesses run the risk of inaccurate energy readings, incorrect billing, and faults when launching new smart meter features, alongside countless other issues.
