| A smart, cashless solution for APU students to control room meter top-ups with just a scan and a tap.


🏢 Client Background

Asia Pacific University (APU) is a leading institution in Malaysia, focused on enhancing student experiences through smart technology. They needed an automated dorm energy management system that allowed students to top-up electricity independently, quickly, and securely.

 


🎯 Why the System Was Built

  • Manual electricity top-ups were inconvenient for students and staff.

  • Students needed a self-service, cashless top-up method.

  • APU required a secure, integrated solution within their own mobile ecosystem.

  • Needed real-time synchronization with smart meters to avoid delays and disputes.

 


🚀 Our Solution: QR-Based Smart Meter Top-Up System

  • QR Code Smart Meter Access:
    Each room has a unique QR code; students scan to access and top up their meter quota.

  • Seamless Web App Integration:
    We developed a web app fully embedded in APU’s mobile app, ensuring smooth user flow.

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration:
    APU handles user login and securely passes data to our system; we generate a signed URL for direct, verified access.

  • Flexible Top-Up Options:
    Students choose from preset amounts (RM10, RM20, RM50, RM100) to suit their energy needs.

  • Dual Payment Methods:
    Supports both Payment Gateway (credit/debit cards, FPX) and APcard (APU’s internal e-wallet).

  • Real-Time Payment & Meter Update:
    Once payment is verified, smart meters are updated instantly — no delays.

 


🔧 Technology Stack

  • Backend: Laravel
  • Frontend: React Native (iOS & Android), Electron (Windows)
  • Infrastructure: AWS EC2 (Scalable Hosting), RDS (Managed PostgreSQL), Google Cloud Platform
  • Integrations: Email/SMS gateways for notifications

  • Seamless integration into APU’s existing mobile app

  • Dual payment options for student convenience
