Over 700,000 messages sent machine to machine reveal that SMS is a reliable solution for energy providers.

Vector AMS provide an end-to-end suite of energy metering and control services to energy retailers, distributors and consumers throughout NZ, working closely with energy retailers and businesses to provide services safely, efficiently and reliably.
