How we work
Our team of experienced professionals in water, energy, and finance works closely with industry specialists to support water suppliers in the design, initiation, funding, and delivery of successful smart meter programmes. We leverage proven processes, advanced technology, and a balanced, flexible approach within our supply chain, free from exclusive agreements with manufacturers. This flexibility allows us to replicate the successful outcomes we have achieved in the energy sector. We are committed to driving programme efficiencies in the water sector, where costs are currently higher than those in energy.
Our Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) tailored solutions positively impact the present value of expenditures, freeing water companies to concentrate on their core strengths—delivering water and providing excellent customer service. Additionally, this flexible approach can be customised to include the provision of additional assets and services, enhancing and accelerating the overall solution.
By partnering with us, water companies can confidently manage the complexities of smart meter rollouts. We mitigate risks and ensure the delivery of performance outcomes that meet industry demands, customer expectations, and the urgent environmental needs of today, shaping a sustainable future.
Processes
Our team of experienced water industry professionals will expertly design and manage your end-to-end smart water meter programme. This comprehensive, best-of-breed service includes everything from solution design, initiation, funding, and deployment to meter provisioning and network management over the 20-year programme lifespan. We also manage repair, maintenance, and warranty concerns, ensuring a seamless operational deployment. By leveraging our network of over 70 water and utility company partners—who collectively bring decades of global smart roll-out experience and proven processes—we ensure the success of your programme.
Additionally, our innovative off-balance sheet financing model means we can take on the asset’s liability, with cost recovery managed through a Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) approach. This contributes to a faster roll-out, with the cost spread over the four AMP cycles, delivering a positive impact on the present value of expenditures.
Technology
Smart monitoring technologies are playing an increasingly vital role in leak detection, water balancing, event management, accurate billing, and enhancing customer service. With our Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) model, we retain ownership of the asset, while water companies benefit from instant, on-demand access to water usage data via internet and cloud platforms. This enables real-time monitoring for leak detection and more efficient management of water resources.
If water companies do not own the asset, they are also free from the associated technical debt and the responsibility of ensuring long-term network interoperability. Our DaaS model delivers valuable outcomes, including real-time leak detection and insightful, data-driven information that empowers customers to manage their water usage more effectively, encouraging positive behavioural change that results in reduced per capita consumption.
DaaS and DaaS+
Our Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) model provides real-time, data-driven insights without the technical debt or impact on your bottom line. This frees water companies to focus on what they do best: providing customers with water and excellent service. DaaS can be accessed via internet or cloud platforms, enabling real-time monitoring that ensures more efficient management of water resources.
DaaS+ takes innovation to the next level by incorporating advanced analytics, predictive maintenance, and automated reporting. This comprehensive solution offers deeper insights, proactive leak detection, and seamless integration with other smart systems, empowering water companies to optimise usage, improve operational efficiency, and achieve conservation goals – all while enhancing the service provided to customers.
Our finance
We can provide funding for smart water solutions that goes far beyond traditional energy sector Meter Asset Provider (MAP) financing. Acting as your primary contractor for a customised Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution, we offer more than just off-balance sheet funding—we deliver a complete, tailored financial strategy to support your smart water programme.
