Start where you are
Bring the records you already keep. Nothing is ripped out on day one, and your crews keep the benches, the routes, and the workflow names they already know.
Shop work , slide 1 of 2
Every meter tested, tracked, and shipped
Receiving, batch intake, bench test, repair, certification, and shipping stay on one record. Your shop can pull up any meter that came through the door and show its whole history.
Why now
Cloud is not just for the big operations
Hosted, backed up, and updated for you. A small shop gets the same record, the same reporting, and the same audit trail a large one runs on, without hiring anyone to keep it alive.
No server in the back office
The platform is hosted and updated for you. No upgrade weekend, no box under a desk, nobody on staff whose job is keeping it running.
An answer when a utility asks
Records sit on a secure cloud foundation that follows industry practice, so “how do you store this?” has a straight answer instead of a filing cabinet.
One record, not three versions
Office, shop floor, and field crews work the same record, so nobody spends month end reconciling a spreadsheet against a logbook.
Going digital does not have to mean going all at once. Most shops start with one workflow and add the next once the first is running.
How it works
Field to portal to utility
Three moves. The record is created once and never retyped.
Capture in the field
Technicians record the meter set, the exception, and the close-out on the work order itself. Validation runs before the order can be submitted.
Aggregate in the portal
Shop crews, routes, and yards all work the same record. Batch intake through shipping stays on a single trail your shop can pull up in seconds.
Report to the utility
Validated data goes out on the back sheet the utility expects, and the customer portal shows them the same record you are holding.
Capabilities
What the portal does
Two capabilities carry the platform. These are the parts your shop touches daily.
Meter test data entry
Bench results land in the record after technician validation, one data entry per meter, until the batch is complete.
Incoming shipments
Book meters in as they arrive and reconcile the count against the manifest.
Batch and shelf tracking
Follow a batch from intake through test, repair, certification, and shipping.
Service order management
Assign, track, and close work orders across crews without a paper back sheet.
Exception handling
High bill, condemned, and sample orders route to the workflow that fits them.
Customer portal
Your utility sees validated completions, leak reports, and custom reports directly.
Cloud without the rip-out
Bring existing records across and keep the benches and processes your crews know.
ReceivingNew
Incoming shipments
Meters arrive at the yard by the crate. Book them in before any of them reach a bench.
- Receive against the manifest
- Log each shipment as it lands and reconcile the count against what the utility says it sent.
- Discrepancies raised at the door
- Shortages, overages, and damage are recorded on receipt instead of surfacing halfway through a batch.
- Straight into the workflow
- Received meters route into the batch and workflow that fits them, ready for test.
Receiving
Closes the gap between the loading dock and batch intake, so a meter is on the record from the moment the crate is opened.
Shop Work
Meter test data aggregation
From batch intake to shipping, every meter test sits in one record.
- Incoming shipments
- Book meters in as they arrive and reconcile the count against the manifest, before any of them reach a bench.
- Batch work
- Open a batch and follow it through test, repair, certification, and shipping. One trail for the batch, and any meter in it can still be pulled up on its own.
- Test results, entered once
- Technicians key each result into the portal as they work, and it is checked before the batch moves on. No bench sheet to transcribe afterwards.
- Inventory management
- Stock levels and records stay in step with what the shop has actually processed, without a re-key from the portal.
Workflows
In Test, Out Test, Shelf Life, High Bill, Sample, Condemned. Custom workflows can be built for any company.
Field Service orders
Service order management
Built for the technician holding the phone, not the office holding the spreadsheet.

For utilities
Cleaner contractor work, straight back to your ERP
You issue the work and your ERP stays the system of record. The crews doing it work in D.A.P. rather than the field app, so the meter set, the exception, and the close-out are checked before an order can be submitted. What comes back is complete and in your format. Nothing to rip out, nothing for your team to learn.
Your ERP
- SAP S/4HANA
- Your system of record does not move. We take the work order out, return it completed, and send it back in the format your ERP expects.
- Other ERP systemsOn request
- Tell us what you run and what you need back. We will tell you what the connection takes.
Less coming back to fix
The field app was built around the ERP screen, not around a technician standing at a meter set in the rain, and incomplete orders are what your office pays for later. D.A.P. validates the order in the field, so what reaches your ERP is finished the first time.
Programs and daily work
A capital program and a day of route work travel the same path, so contractor progress reads the same either way, on the same record, in the system you already run.
Customer portal
Your utility sees the same record
Validated data, available to your customer as it is processed. No export, no email attachment, no version drift.
Field Services: Service order completion
Validated service data as it is processed.
Inventory management
Current inventory levels and records.
Leak reports
Leak detections, in time to act on them.
Report center
Custom reports on the indicators you track.
Adoption
Safe to move, safe to keep
Three things a shop needs to be sure of before it puts the record somewhere new.
Adopt the cloud with confidence
Moving off the machine in the back office should not feel like a leap. You can put one workflow on the platform and leave the rest where it is until you are ready.
- Hosting, backups, and updates are handled for you. No upgrade weekend.
- Move at your pace: prove one workflow on one batch type before the rest follows.
- Bring your history across rather than starting the record from zero.
Prioritize security
The people asking how you store meter data are your own customers. The platform is built so that question has a straight answer.
- A secure cloud foundation following industry best practice for data protection and compliance.
- Validation runs before a record is accepted, so what you store is what you can defend.
- One traceable record per meter, so a certification is evidenced rather than asserted.
Foster collaboration
Office, shop floor, and field crews stop working from three different versions of the same job.
- One record: everyone sees the same order, the same batch, the same status.
- Progress is visible as the work happens, not at the end of the week.
- Your utility sees it too. The customer portal shows the same validated record.
FAQs
Questions we get
What is the Data Aggregation Platform?
A portal for gas meter repair and utility contractor companies. It aggregates meter test data and manages completed service orders, so the work your crews already do becomes a record your business and your utility can both use.
What are the core features?
Two. Shop Work with meter test data aggregation handles collection, validation, and analysis of gas meter test data. Field Services with Service Order Management covers assigning, tracking, and completing service tasks, built around field technician ease of use and high-quality data capture.
What makes service order management different?
It is designed for the technician in the field: quick updates, task management on the phone, and validation that runs before an order can be submitted. Accuracy comes from the workflow, not from someone checking it later.
What does the Customer Portal give our utility?
Real-time access to processed and validated data: service order completions, inventory access and tracking, leak reports, and custom reporting.
How is our data secured?
The platform runs on a secure cloud foundation following industry best practices for data protection and compliance.

Testimonials
What operations managers report
“Managing service orders and ensuring accurate data capture used to be a challenge. With D.A.P., our field technicians complete their tasks efficiently, and the validated data gives us confidence in every decision we make. The Customer Portal has been an added bonus, providing real-time insights that improved our operations significantly. I can’t imagine going back to the old way of doing things.”
“The Shop Work features simplify the collection, validation, and analysis of meter test results. Automation reduced our processing time and improved the reliability of our data. Our team accesses, updates, and tracks meter test and batch management from one centralized platform, which improved communication and coordination: faster turnaround, fewer errors, a real competitive advantage.”
