WEB-BASED REVENUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR PREPAID METER

Abstract
A Web-Based Electricity Revenue Management and Prepayment Vending Systems in Nigeria have been implemented. The Prepayment Revenue Management System (PPRMS) which has been in use by the utility and its successors is associated with several limitations due to its implementation strategy thereby causing loss of revenue to the utility and lack of trust among customers. Web-Based Revenue Management System (WBRMS) which uses a single database compared to existing systems of the utility is developed on a web based architecture using open source platform applications, thereby creating opportunities for a wide range of implementation options and reducing costs due to client/server systems. Users can login and perform transactions from any web enabled device, thus reducing transportations and/or Simple Messaging System (SMS) cost and providing quick access to data for management decision making, planning and efficiency. The Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) methodology was adopted for our design and development. The WBRMS has been developed in accordance with Web 2.0 specifications. It uses the YII framework to create a Model-View-Controller (MVC) design to layer the application. By layering the application, the system is able to separate the data (Model) from the presentation of the data (View). The Controller handles the input logic between the View and the Model which makes updating the application far more efficient and ensures faster data retrieval. There was comparison of WBRMS with the Utility Prepayment Revenue Management System, and found that investment cost was reduced by about 50%, overhead and maintenance cost also reduced by the same margin.
