Real-Time Metering, Automated Billing, and Full Utility Control

RUM helps property operators automate utility billing, monitor usage remotely, and recover utility costs more accurately. Track electricity, water, and gas usage across slips, sites, and tenants without manual meter reads or flat-rate billing. By billing customers based on actual usage, properties will reduce overall utility consumption while improving transparency and cost control.

What Is RUM?

RUM is a wireless utility metering system that connects to your existing infrastructure and sends real-time usage data to a centralized dashboard. Operators can remotely monitor utility usage, automate billing workflows, and manage utilities across slips, sites, and properties from a single platform.

Why Choose RUM?

Manual meter reads are time consuming and prone to errors. Flat-rate billing often leads to unnecessary usage because customers are not accountable for what they consume. RUM replaces manual processes with accurate submetering and automated billing, helping operators reduce waste, improve cost recovery, and simplify day-to-day operations.

RUM helps your team:

Eliminate labor cost and time spent on manual reading with remote access from anywhere.

Reduce error-prone, manual billing with direct integrations in your existing management or billing software for full utility billing automation.

Become a part of conservation efforts as usage-based billing reduces overall utility consumption by over 25%.

Recoup 100% of your utility expense with real time, live usage data and reporting

Reduce utility waste by remotely turning off inactive units

Prevent unauthorized usage with remote shutoff via a reservation check in/check out

Get alerts for electrical faults or leakage

TestimonialS

MarineSync's RUM is Trusted by Operators Across Industries

“RUM is one of the most important technologies we employ here at Nanny Cay. The system seamlessly integrates our billing and management software, allowing all the meter readings to flow directly into our customer records. It takes less than 15 seconds for me or our front desk to check-in and check-out customers. It also allows me to operate the software from my phone as I walk around the marina. The RUM software has a lot of nice features including giving our customers access to their utility readings. We have a number of guests that have reduced their usage, just by watching their daily readings. I can’t say enough about the system and support. We’re expanding the facility next year and looking forward to it”

Brendan Joyce

“I am glad we are using the system. We do monthly meter readings and it took hours with the 700 slips we have including guest moorage. It is very time consuming. We did an analysis on cost savings in labor prior to purchasing it and we figured it’s about a 5 year return on labor cost alone. Also when a customer argues their electrical bill we can email them a report of their usage so they can see when they were consuming, when it stopped and when it started again. It stops the argument. I know with RUM utility monitoring, I’m going to get an accurate read so my confidence level is really good now. We are happy campers.”
