Water utility support services in Malaysia

Every drop metered. Every bill settled.

We take on the field and back-office work around the water supply: meter replacement, billing, arrears recovery and customer care. Water operators stay focused on running the water.

The work around the water

Water operators run the dams, the plants and the pressure. We run the work around them: the meters at the gate, the bills in the letterbox, the accounts that fall behind and the calls that come in when something goes wrong.

BPO Distributions Sdn Bhd was set up in Kuala Lumpur in 2012 to take non-core and fringe processes off utility operators' hands. We bring them together into a single outsourced service, run by our own field crews and back-office teams.

From the meter to the money

Four stages of the water revenue cycle, handled by one contractor. Each stage feeds the next, so nothing falls between teams.

  1. 1

    Meter replacement and asset records

    Field crews swap out ageing, stuck and damaged meters. Every new serial number, location and opening reading goes into the operator's asset register on the day.

  2. 2

    Reading and utility billing

    Readings are checked, bills are produced and sent, and queries about estimated or unusual bills are sorted out before they turn into disputes.

  3. 3

    Arrears management and recovery

    Overdue accounts are followed up with reminders, payment plans and site visits. The aim is to recover what is owed and keep the customer connected.

  4. 4

    Customer service and call centre

    Trained agents take calls about bills, leaks, low pressure and disruptions. Each case is logged and routed to the right team, and the customer is told what happens next.

Why operators hand this work to us

One accountable contractor

Meters, billing, collections and calls sit under one contract and one set of reports, not four suppliers pointing at each other.

Costs that follow the work

Activity-based pricing means you pay for meters replaced and accounts recovered, billed monthly. There is no capital outlay to start.

Field and office joined up

What our crews find at the meter reaches billing and the call centre the same day, so customers get one consistent answer.

Local teams, central and north

Offices in Kuala Lumpur, Perlis and Kedah put our crews close to the networks and customers they serve.

No capital outlay. Pay as it flows.

Running these services in-house means buying vehicles, equipment and systems, and hiring crews before the first meter is changed. We work on an activity basis instead: you pay monthly for the work completed (meters replaced, bills issued, accounts recovered) across the contract period.

  • Activity-based pricing. Costs follow output, not headcount.
  • Monthly billing. Spread evenly over the service period.
  • One contract. Several non-core processes, one accountable partner.

Construction and infrastructure

Some jobs need more than a spanner. Our construction arm takes on civil and infrastructure works for water networks. It is run by the same organisation that services the meters and answers the calls, so field findings go straight into the next job.
