About Us

Data Right is Australia’s leading Smart Meter and Automated Meter Reader (AMR) installer.

We have installed over 130,000 AMR’s and meters around Australia, with exceptional data accuracy and data continuity exceeding client’s KPI’s and expectations. We pride ourselves on our ability to exceed client expectations and always strive for 100% data accuracy.

AMR’s allow local governments, utilities and body corporates to more effectively and efficiently monitor metered services for residents. Data Right have completed the installation of AMRs for multiple clients across QLD, NSW, and NT.

As part of the meter replacement process, we partner with professional plumbing contractors to provide a holistic solution to the meter upgrade, AMR installation and data capture. Data Right also partner with local governments, water utilities, and meter resellers.

The most important aspect to the installation is the quality, accuracy and auditability of the information received from the AMR installers. By utilising our developed system, we have been able to complete meter replacement and automated meter reader installations with exceptional accuracy and high levels of data continuity, giving customers confidence around their capital investment.

In addition to our residential capabilities, we can also complete Civil Plumbing works associated with Meter service lines, including water mains, repairs, and maintenance.
