Industry
Water, waste and utilities
Operations with a lot of field work, a lot of regulation and old systems nobody can switch off. Our job is to digitise without breaking what already works.
The problem
Paper is still the system of record
Work orders are filled in by hand, photographed and typed into a spreadsheet. When an inspection or a formal request arrives, reconstructing what happened takes days.
Signs this is you
- Paper work orders digitised by hand
- Meter readings and incidents in systems that do not talk
- Compliance reports assembled manually every quarter
- No traceability of who did what and when
- Field applications that stop working without signal
- Critical systems over fifteen years old with no documentation
What we do
What we do in this sector
Field operations
Applications for teams on the road that work without signal and sync once it returns, with photos, signatures and geolocation attached to each job.
Traceability and compliance
An immutable record of interventions, automatic generation of periodic reports and the ability to reconstruct any case file in minutes.
Meter and sensor integration
Ingesting remote readings, sensors and control systems, with data validation and alerts when something falls outside the expected range.
Modernisation without downtime
Critical legacy systems get wrapped, documented and replaced in parts. There is never a single night when everything changes.

How we do it
How we enter a utilities project
Go out with the field team
A day on the road with the operators explains more about the real process than five meetings at the office.
DeliverableMap of the real process
Digitise one full process
We pick one type of work order and take it end to end, including report generation. It becomes the template for the rest.
DeliverableFirst process in production
Expand by job type
The remaining processes land in waves, reusing the same data model and the same screens.

Automated reporting
Once the data is structured, compliance reports stop being a quarterly project and become a button.

FAQ
What people ask us
Do you have experience with public procurement?
Yes, we have worked on projects for public bodies and for concession holders. We can prepare the technical documentation for a tender or work alongside whoever submits it.
How do you handle sensor data?
Scheduled ingestion, range validation, flagging of doubtful readings and historical storage. Unvalidated sensor data is a reliable source of wrong decisions.
Can you work on very old systems?
It is standard in this sector. We start by documenting what exists and building around it, with an integration layer that lets pieces be replaced without a big-bang cutover.
