What Waterly does
Waterly is a U.S.-based vertical SaaS company that provides cloud-based data, asset, and sample management software to water and wastewater utilities. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana (with a secondary presence in Crystal Lake, Illinois), the company targets four customer segments: rural water systems, large municipal cities, contract operators managing multiple facilities, and industrial/commercial water systems. Its stated go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with certified-operator-led onboarding, marketed as a low-cost alternative to cumbersome legacy solutions serving an underserved long tail of small-to-mid-sized utilities.
The flagship product, Waterly Rounds, is a browser-accessible digital clipboard and regulatory reporting platform that consolidates manual operator entries, SCADA/IoT data feeds (via the WaterClick Partners integration program), and lab data into a single asset-centric data model. Operators enter data once into defined fields via phones, tablets, or browsers, with calculator-driven chemical dosing computations, configurable range alerts, offline data collection, 8-day performance trends, and state-compliant daily report generation (PDF/CSV/XML). The platform is complemented by Waterly Assets (maintenance and asset management), Waterly Samples (sample/lab management launched in March 2026 in partnership with SampleServe), and add-on modules including Analytical Reporting and Historical Data Import. Notable technical features include data interpolation for missing continuous metrics, Flex Sites for multi-facility aggregation, structured image documentation, and a digital Log Book.
Waterly monetizes primarily through annual subscription licenses for Waterly Rounds (quote-based pricing per site/customer), with add-on revenue from Waterly Samples, Analytical Reporting, and assisted historical data import billed hourly (typically under $1,000 per year of imported data). The company raised a $4 million Series A in August 2025 led by Burnt Island Ventures with Emerald Technology Ventures to fund platform development and global expansion. As of mid-2026, the company maintains 11-50 employees and continues to ship product updates on a near-weekly cadence.

Waterly competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- WaterEye: WaterEye is a cloud-based water and wastewater data management platform focused on small and mid-sized utilities, with similar paper-to-digital transition messaging as Waterly. An emerging direct competitor in the same niche.
Broad incumbents
- Trimble Unity (water): Trimble Unity offers asset management, mobile field operations, and analytics for water and wastewater utilities. Comparable to Waterly's Rounds/Assets stack, but as part of Trimble's broader utilities portfolio rather than a focused water-only platform.
- Tyler Technologies: Tyler Technologies sells ERP, Munis, and utility-billing/CIS software to municipal governments including water utilities. A broad incumbent competing for the same procurement dollars, often with bundled offerings that overshadow point solutions like Waterly.
- CentralSquare Technologies: CentralSquare provides a broad public-sector suite including utility billing, asset management, and field operations for cities and counties. Comparable to Waterly as a competing platform for municipal water utilities, though with a much wider portfolio.
- Bentley Systems (OpenUtilities): Bentley's OpenUtilities and AssetWise target electric, water, and gas utilities for network modeling, asset performance, and operational data. Comparable to Waterly in the water-utility operational data and asset-management space, but as part of a large infrastructure-software portfolio.
Direct peers
- Sedaru: Sedaru is a SaaS operations platform for water and wastewater utilities covering work orders, compliance reporting, and field data. Like Waterly, it targets utilities modernizing away from clipboards/spreadsheets with cloud-native, mobile-first workflows.
- VertexOne: VertexOne provides SaaS for utility customer engagement, billing, and operational data management across water, gas, and electric utilities. Overlaps with Waterly in utility data management and reporting workflows for small and mid-sized utilities.
- Trimble Cityworks: Cityworks is a leading GIS-centric asset and work-order management platform widely used by water and wastewater utilities. Comparable to Waterly's Waterly Assets module in scope of utility asset lifecycle and field operations.
- Hach (LIMS / water quality data): Hach (part of Veralto/Danaher) provides water-quality instrumentation and laboratory information management (LIMS) solutions used by water utilities. Overlaps with Waterly Samples and the regulatory-reporting side of Waterly Rounds for water quality compliance workflows.
Others
- Esri (ArcGIS for Utilities): Esri's ArcGIS platform underpins utility network and asset mapping across most US water utilities. Esri is an enabling/adjoining technology rather than a direct competitor, but its partner ecosystem (e.g., Cityworks) often displaces point solutions like Waterly in larger deployments.
