About MeterWyze

An insider, now on your side of the meter.

MeterWyze exists because the people who issue the bills understand them better than the people who pay them. We set out to change that for Eastern Cape businesses.

The Founder

Martin van Jaarsveld

For fifteen years, Martin worked inside the Revenue Protection Department of the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality, specialising in large power user electricity metering, meter installations, data, and customer billing.

That is the side of the counter most businesses never see. He knows how large accounts are built, where the errors creep in, how disputes are actually resolved, and what separates a claim that succeeds from one that gets ignored.

MeterWyze brings that insider knowledge directly to commercial and industrial operators, combined with an enterprise-grade monitoring platform. The result is a level of metering and billing scrutiny that simply was not available to Eastern Cape businesses before.

Formal Qualifications

Credentials that go beyond metering.

Three formal qualifications underpin the rigour MeterWyze brings to multi-site, multi-meter operations.

Electrical Engineering

The technical grounding to understand metering installations, current transformers, and supply infrastructure at the level the work demands.

Production Management

An understanding of how plants and operations actually run, so energy recommendations fit the realities of production, not just the spreadsheet.

Certified Master Logistician

The top professional credential of the European Logistics Association, awarded by the European Certification Board for Logistics. Multi-site operational rigour as standard.

Our Commercial Model

A clear, written fee structure. Always agreed before we begin.

Depending on the engagement, a client may be on one, two, or all three of the following. Every fee is documented in the Memorandum of Understanding or project quotation before any work begins.

01
Performance fee

A negotiated percentage of verified monthly electricity savings. Results-based. We invoice only once the saving is confirmed on your account. If no saving is realised, no fee is payable.

02
Smart-View platform fee

A recurring monthly subscription for Smart-View access and ongoing management. The amount depends on the package tier and number of meters. This is the core recurring relationship.

03
Consulting fee

For stand-alone advisory, audit, and training work. Charged on an hourly, daily, or fixed-project basis depending on the scope. Always quoted upfront and approved in writing.

All fees quoted in South African Rand. MeterWyze (Pty) Ltd is not currently VAT registered, VAT is therefore not added to invoices at this stage.

Our Mission

To protect the financial viability of Eastern Cape businesses by bringing municipal-grade utility expertise and enterprise-class technology directly to the operators who need them.

When businesses across the Eastern Cape stay financially healthy, they keep people employed, communities stable, and the regional economy moving forward. Every meter we monitor, every account we verify, and every recoverable rand we identify is one step in that direction.

Work with someone who knows the system.
