Quick Answer
Submetering software collects submeter data and tracks utility consumption below the main meter, by unit, tenant, or area. Inspectly360 provides a submetering solution tailored to your operation, built on our mobile records and reporting platform and configured to your meters and tenants, integrated with the meter data feeds and billing tools you already run.
What Is Submetering Software, and How Does Inspectly360 Provide It?
Without it, everything below the main meter is invisible. Energy submetering data is not collected, meter readings are manual and sporadic, consumption cannot be attributed to a tenant or unit, and there is no basis for fair billing or for spotting waste. A high utility bill has no breakdown.
How It Works
How Does a Meter Reading Turn Into Allocated, Reportable Consumption?
Property and energy teams standardise this loop before scaling it.
- 1
Collect Meter Data
Meter readings and utility meter data are collected from connected or manually read submeters, so consumption below the main meter is captured.
- 2
Attribute Consumption
Energy consumption is attributed to units, tenants, or areas, so utility usage is allocated rather than lost in one shared total.
- 3
Track Electricity, Water, and Gas
Electricity monitoring, water metering, and gas metering track each supported utility, so consumption is followed by type and location.
- 4
Analyse Usage
Utility analytics compare consumption across units and periods, so trends and anomalies stand out for action.
- 5
Bill and Report
Consumption tracking supports tenant billing, and usage reports give a defensible record of who used what.
Rollout
Rolling Out Submetering Software
Where Does Inspectly360 Sit Beside Bill Management and Energy Systems?
Inspectly360 is the submeter data and analytics layer. It collects meter readings, attributes consumption, and provides analytics and billing support, feeding consumption data to utility bill management and broader energy systems. It owns meter-level consumption specifically, complementing rather than replacing bill management or general energy management.
What Should Property and Energy Teams Validate Before a Pilot?
Validate four things in the pilot. First, that your submeters can be read or connected for data collection. Second, that consumption attribution matches your units and tenants. Third, that analytics surface the anomalies you care about. Fourth, that usage data supports your billing. Run one property so submeter data and allocation are proven before scaling across the portfolio.
Data, Access, and Records
Submeter data supports billing and cost allocation, so its integrity matters. Inspectly360 enforces role-based access so site teams see their property and central teams see the estate. Readings and allocations are logged and retained, so any consumption figure or tenant charge can be traced to the meter data behind it.

Comparison
What Changes with Inspectly360
Property leads comparing Inspectly360 to a single main meter see the difference on five points: visibility, attribution, data collection, anomaly detection, and fair billing.
| Capability | Without Inspectly360 | With Inspectly360 |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Everything below the main meter is invisible, so consumption by unit or tenant is completely unknown. | Submeter data makes consumption visible by unit, tenant, and area, so usage is no longer a black box. |
| Attribution | Utility cost is shared as one flat charge, so heavy users are subsidised and there is no fairness. | Energy consumption is attributed to units and tenants, so usage and cost follow who actually consumed them. |
| Data collection | Meter readings are manual and sporadic, so data is incomplete and quickly out of date. | Meter data collection is systematic, so readings are complete, current, and ready for analysis. |
| Anomaly detection | A leak or a runaway consumer hides inside the main meter total until the bill spikes. | Utility analytics surface unusual consumption by unit, so leaks and waste are spotted early. |
| Fair billing | Tenant billing for utilities is a flat estimate that is neither fair nor defensible. | Consumption tracking supports accurate tenant billing, so charges are fair and evidenced by meter data. |

Frequently Asked Questions About Submetering Software
How is submetering software different from utility bill management?
Submetering software is about collecting and analysing meter-level consumption data: readings from submeters, attribution to units or tenants, and usage analytics. Utility bill management is about the bills themselves: collecting invoices, validating them, tracking cost, and managing payment. They are complementary, submetering measures what was used, and bill management handles what is charged, and together they give a full picture. But they are distinct, and Inspectly360 keeps them on separate pages so each is focused. If your need is to understand and allocate actual consumption below the main meter, submetering is the page. If your need is to manage and control utility invoices and cost, that is utility bill management. Many property teams use both, with submetering data informing fairer cost allocation.
How does it support tenant billing?
By collecting submeter readings and attributing consumption to each unit or tenant, the software provides the accurate, evidenced data needed to bill tenants for their actual utility usage rather than a flat estimate. This makes billing fair, heavy users pay for what they use, and defensible, because the charge is backed by meter data a tenant can see, which reduces disputes. For landlords and property managers, accurate submetering-based billing also improves cost recovery, since flat estimates often under-recover actual consumption. The key is that the billing rests on real meter-level consumption tracked over the period, so it reflects genuine usage. This turns utility recovery from a contentious estimate into a transparent, data-backed charge that both parties can trust.
Can it track electricity, water, and gas?
Yes, depending on the submeters deployed, it tracks the supported utilities, typically electricity, water, and gas, each metered and analysed separately. This matters because the utilities behave differently and often need different attention: electricity for equipment and lighting loads, water for leak detection and consumption, gas for heating. Following each separately by unit and area gives a complete picture of consumption, so a property team can see not just total usage but how each utility is consumed where. This supports both fair allocation across all metered utilities and targeted action, for example spotting a water leak through unusual consumption on a specific meter, which would be invisible if utilities were not submetered and tracked individually below the main supply.
How does it help find waste and leaks?
Because consumption is tracked at the submeter level and analysed over time, utility analytics can surface unusual patterns that indicate waste: a unit consuming far more than comparable ones, consumption that continues when a space should be unoccupied, or a steady water flow suggesting a leak. These anomalies are invisible when everything sits inside a single main-meter total, only appearing when the overall bill spikes, by which point the waste has been running for a while. Submetering makes them visible early and localised to a specific meter, so the source can be found and fixed quickly. For water especially, early leak detection through submetering can prevent significant cost and damage that a main meter would never reveal in time.
Does it work across many units and sites?
Yes. Submetering is most valuable in multi-unit and multi-site properties, where consumption below the main meter needs to be attributed across many tenants or areas. The software collects data from submeters across units and sites, attributes consumption, and provides analytics and reporting at unit, building, and portfolio level. Role-based access lets site teams see their property while central teams see the whole estate. This scales from a single building to a large portfolio using the same meter data collection, attribution, analytics, and billing support. For property owners and managers, this portfolio-wide submeter visibility is what turns utility consumption from an unallocated cost into a managed, attributable one across every unit they operate.
