What Shayp does
Shayp is a Belgian water-technology company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Brussels that sells an IoT-enabled water leak detection and consumption-monitoring service for buildings. Its solution consists of the POLY4 non-invasive wireless datalogger (10-year battery life, installed without pipe modification), the 2ZERO cloud software platform with bi-directional API integration, and the newer 4IMPACT corporate reporting tier. Machine-learning-based anomaly detection on time-series flow data is the core technical differentiator, with a data flywheel fed by more than 7,210 monitored buildings across 12 European countries and 8 billion litres of water tracked annually.
Shayp monetises through a bundled hardware-plus-software SaaS subscription priced on a quote basis with annual billing, supported by 45-minute product demos, direct enterprise field sales, and partner/reseller channels including insurance companies and water utilities. Named customers span enterprise technology (Microsoft, Google, Amazon), retail (Lidl), banking (ING), real estate (Cohabs), education (ULB), public sector (City of Brussels, SNCB), healthcare (Hospitaux Iris Sud), and water utilities (SWDE Société Wallonne des Eaux). Flagship commercial anchors are a ten-year Microsoft partnership covering more than 600 sites in Brussels and Paris (Shayp 4IMPACT) and an Amazon water-replenishment programme deploying sensors across 500 Frankfurt buildings by 2028.
The company holds a B Corp certification with a score of 99.6 (January 2022) and the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution label (January 2020), manufactures its hardware locally in Belgium, and has raised approximately EUR 2.3M in disclosed equity (December 2020, Apic Investments, AMAVI Capital, Finance.Brussels). Co-founders Grégoire De Hemptinne (CEO, MBA IESE Barcelona, software engineering background) and Zineddine Wakrim (business development, IoT specialist) lead a team of 11-50 staff, with Alexandre McCormack as a former co-founder/CEO. Shayp claims an average 22% reduction in customer water consumption.
