Automated Energy Management for Oradea's City Hall

The problem

ADLO, the development department of Oradea's City Hall, manages energy billing and reporting for 300+ companies across four industrial parks. As operations grew, the manual approach started to break down:

• Slow, manual reporting: Pulling meter data and producing reports took weeks, which held up decisions.
• Error-prone processes: Hand-built billing left room for mistakes that were hard to trace and correct.
• Strict compliance: Energy legislation and GDPR set firm rules on how data is handled and stored.
• Infrastructure limits: On-premise systems capped performance and made scaling difficult.
• Disconnected tools: WinMentor Enterprise and AEM electric meters were not talking to each other.

The solution

Life Value built ADLO Energy, a secure B2B platform that centralizes energy billing and reporting for the department and keeps all data under its own control.

• Automated billing and reporting: Collects meter readings, applies pricing rules, and generates invoices and reports on demand.
• WinMentor Enterprise integration: Connected to the existing accounting system so financial data stays consistent.
• AEM meter integration: Reads directly from AEM electric meters for accurate consumption data.
• GDPR-compliant by design: Data stays inside ADLO's own infrastructure, preserving data sovereignty.
• Knowledge transfer: ADLO's internal team was trained on the platform so they can run and extend it independently.

The results

• Reporting in seconds: Report generation went from weeks to seconds.
• Room to grow: The platform supports the department's 35 to 40% yearly expansion and onboards new clients in minutes.
• Fewer manual steps: Automation frees the team to focus on higher-value work instead of repetitive data entry.
• Data under control: GDPR compliance with on-premise storage keeps sensitive information in-house.

How it works

ADLO Energy sits between the meters and the billing process. It reads consumption data from AEM electric meters, applies the correct pricing rules per client, and pushes financial data into WinMentor Enterprise. Staff can generate invoices and reports for any park or company from a single interface, and new clients are added in minutes rather than days.
