Irth Solutions

What Irth Solutions does

Irth Solutions is a cloud-native SaaS provider for critical infrastructure operators across the energy, utility, oil and gas, and telecommunications industries. Its platform unifies three solution areas: Damage Prevention (centered on the Utilisphere 811 ticket management system and the Irth Exactix software for One Call centers), Asset Integrity for Pipelines (AIP, formerly CIM, covering inline inspection, internal/external corrosion, risk management, advanced crack PCFA, and geohazards), and Stakeholder & Land Management (automated payments and royalties, GIS viewer, lease and agreement management, and right-of-way support). The platform is built on Microsoft Azure, integrates with Esri ArcGIS and Microsoft Power BI, and serves as the #1 811 ticket management system since 1995, processing 130M+ work orders annually across 18K+ daily active users. The company has scaled through both organic product development (Utilisphere, Insighthsm for Damage Prevention, AIP modules) and acquisitions of 811spotter, OneBridge Solutions, and Borealis Software, expanding its footprint from North America into EMEA via a Jee Ltd channel partnership announced in November 2025.

Revenue is generated primarily through enterprise SaaS subscriptions on annual or multi-year contracts, complemented by channel-based distribution through One Call centers (Colorado 811, Virginia 811) and regional implementation partners (Jee Ltd in EMEA, Integrity Solutions in North America). Customers include major North American operators such as Chevron, Enbridge, NextEra Energy Resources, Energy Transfer, ExxonMobil Pipeline Company, American Electric Power, Cox Communications, Ørsted, NiSource, Consumers Energy, Plains, and Flint Hills Resources, with documented outcomes including $100K+ annual savings for Enbridge via automated pipeline crossing analysis and up to 35% reduction in damage to fiber, cable, and copper infrastructure for telecom customers. The company is currently transitioning ownership from Blackstone Energy Transition Partners to TPG (announced August 2025, expected close late 2025) while continuing to expand its AI/ML capability stack, evidenced by the March 2026 Microsoft Certified Software Designation for Energy AI across both AIP and Utilisphere.
