Smart Prepayment System for Dual Fuel – Itron UK
Itron Managed Services partnered with Sotex Solutions to build a smart prepayment platform for managing SMETS1 electricity and gas meters across the UK. The system unified dual fuel operations, integrated with suppliers, vending, and billing platforms, and ensured full COSEM DLMS compliance. Delivered through a multi year engagement, the solution improved reliability, sped up vending transactions, reduced support load, and enabled scalable, vendor neutral smart metering operations.
Electronic Informed Consent System for Patient-Centric Clinical Trials (eConsent)
We designed and delivered an electronic informed consent system that replaced slow paper workflows with secure, patient-friendly digital consent. The platform supported hybrid electronic and paper processes, multilingual content, and full auditability while integrating directly with trial systems. As a result, study teams accelerated consent collection, improved participant understanding, reduced site workload, and maintained strong regulatory compliance across decentralized and multisite trial.
Kafka as the Central Hub for Utility Systems with Data Lake Integration
We helped a utility establish Apache Kafka as a central event streaming hub connecting IT and OT systems and feeding a Databricks data lake. The architecture replaced fragile point to point integrations with real time data flows and scalable ingestion of meter and grid events. As a result, the utility gained a unified data foundation, supported advanced analytics and forecasting, and enabled future digital use cases without rearchitecting core systems.
Clinical Data Capture System for Multi-Site Clinical Trials (EDC)
Sotex designed and delivered a configurable electronic data capture system that replaced manual, error prone trial data collection with a structured, validation driven workflow. The platform enabled rapid eCRF design, controlled updates during live studies, and real time data quality checks with full auditability. As a result, study teams reduced queries, accelerated study setup, improved protocol adherence, and gained immediate access to analysis ready clinical datasets across sites.
Enhancing Advanced Metering Operation for Schneider Electric
To unlock the full potential of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Schneider Electric sought to scale and enhance its Advanced Metering Operation (AMO) platform—a critical tool in modern energy and utility management. Sotex Solutions partnered with Schneider to accelerate platform development, improve scalability, and support efficient, sustainable utility operations.
Centralized Payment Hub for Multi Country Utilities
A utilities company operating across Sub Saharan Africa needed to centralize fragmented payment workflows across multiple regions and providers. Before this solution, each project independently integrated payment providers, resulting in duplicated effort, inconsistent reporting, and limited visibility. Sotex Solutions led end to end product design, development, and long term support of a centralized Payment Hub. The platform standardizes integrations, supports multiple providers and currencies,
STS Certified Vending Platform for Prepaid Energy at Scale
A public utility in Sub Saharan Africa needed a certified system to generate STS tokens for prepaid customers. Without it, STS meter users could not reliably purchase energy, and no solution or internal expertise existed. Sotex designed and delivered a compliant Vending Management platform from scratch, including security modules, vendor integrations, and payment handling. The system supports large scale prepaid operations and enables expansion across regions.
Unified Digital Platform for Multi-Utility Self-Service
Utility vendors and energy providers across Sub Saharan Africa needed a unified platform to manage the full electricity lifecycle. Billing, prepaid vending, customer support, and monitoring were split across systems, causing duplication, poor visibility, and a fragmented experience. Sotex led end to end design and development of XEPP, delivering backend services, mobile and web apps, and a scalable multi tenant architecture, resulting in one platform for managing consumption and payments.
Building a Digital Twin of the Power Grid with IEC CIM Standard
A public utility in Sub Saharan Africa needed to model its power grid and enable advanced analysis such as economic loss detection. Existing models were incomplete, lacked real world use, and internal expertise in grid modelling and standards was limited. Sotex implemented IEC CIM 17, building a structured data model across multiple distribution companies, resulting in a functional digital twin that supports accurate modelling, power flow analysis, and advanced algorithms.
AI-Powered Drone Asset Mapping – From Images to 3D Assets with up to 1m Accuracy
Sotex partnered with Beacon Power Services to extend CAIMS with an AI powered drone asset mapping module that converts aerial imagery into precise geocoordinates and 3D asset models. Using automated object detection, coordinate computation, and 3D reconstruction, the system eliminates manual surveys and achieves sub meter accuracy. As a result, utilities and infrastructure operators can digitize large asset networks faster, reduce field costs, and gain reliable, spatially accurate data at scale.
Enhancing Project Budget Forecasting for Scotiabank
Sotex partnered with Scotiabank to modernize its Project Budget Forecasting Module, enabling more accurate planning and real-time financial oversight across internal projects. The upgraded system introduced dynamic forecasting, automated forecast-versus-actual tracking, and advanced executive dashboards. As a result, the bank improved budgeting accuracy, accelerated reporting cycles, and strengthened financial control and transparency for project leaders and executives.
HrAst: AI-Powered HR Assistant for Streamlined Candidate Interviews
Sotex built HrAst, an AI-powered HR assistant that automates initial candidate interviews through virtual video screening and automated evaluation. The platform standardizes assessments, ranks candidates based on response quality, and enables branded interview portals for employers. As a result, companies reduce manual screening time, accelerate hiring decisions, improve candidate comparison, and create a more consistent and efficient recruitment process.
