How It Works
Introduction
A prepaid sub meter is installed AFTER / DOWNSTREAM from the
existing municipal / Eskom meter. Any number of devices can
be installed provided they are feeding off and existing,
Eskom / municipality managed account.
The tenant / end user interfaces with the prepaid sub meter,
paying upfront before they have access to power or water.
These funds are collected before the utilities are used
thereby eliminating the possibility of non – payment.
Funds collected through landlord managed options are collected
by the landlord / property manager and paid to Eskom or the
municipality once the bill is received.
Funds collected through 1st Choice managed options are
collated by 1st Choice and transferred on a monthly basis,
directly into the landlord /property managers nominated
account along with a comprehensive vending report. These
funds are then paid by the landlord/property manager to the
applicable utility.
This basic process applies to all installations regardless of the number of units involved, the only variable is the method by which the token is purchased and the flow of cash collected.
HOW DO I SELL TOKENS TO MY TENANTS/ HOW DO THEY BUY THEIR POWER?
There are two options available to the property owner or manager.
Customer Managed
The customer may opt to manage the issuing of vouchers and resulting collection of cash themselves, 1st Choice has several
options available to facilitate this based on the specific installation.
Paper Tokens - These are used if a customer has 1 or 2 meters. Paper tokens are generated for each meter (Tokens are
meter specific) which will be sold directly to the tenant. The customer needs to specify the Rand value and Rate for each
token. Tokens are ordered from 1st Choice and kept by the landlord or property manager. The tokens are then sold directly
to the tenant as and when they are required. When token levels are running low you simply order another batch via email.
Tokens are generated with a fixed rate per KWH.
Scratch Cards
This option is used if a customer has multiple meters and for a customer who wants to manage their own revenue collection. The scratch cards come in denominations of R50,
R100 and R200. Scratch cards are allocated to specific entities and will only be able to be used on meters registered to that specific entity. A standard rate SMS will need to be
sent to redeem the voucher. Scratch Cards are sold in minimum quantities of 100 cards per denomination (box). Scratch cards operate on a live, web based platform and as such
can cater for fixed and step type tariff structures.
Self Managed Software Option
Property managers/landlords with large portfolios have the option of making use of our unique, in house vending software which they can access on site, manage, generate and
print tokens. This software is installed on the clients own PC whereby they have the capacity to generate tokens for their meters only, as and when required.
The landlord, property manager or reseller will need a PC, thermal label printer (available from 1st Choice Prepaid) and a fast internet connection. 1st Choice Prepaid will supply
web based vending software. This will allow the agent to generate and print their own tokens which they can then sell on to their tenants at their own chosen value and tariff.
1st Choice Prepaid will bill the user at the end of the month based on the number of tokens vended in that time period. This offers the property manager great flexibility and options in
terms of direct control
