Core offering

SmartTerra provides an AI-powered SaaS analytics platform that helps water utilities detect, localize, and prioritize leaks across distribution networks. The platform combines multi-sensor data (acoustic, flow, pressure) with hydraulic modeling and meter analytics to reduce both real losses (leakage) and apparent losses (metering/billing inaccuracies), helping utilities recover lost revenue.

Product overview

SmartTerra offers a single unified AI-powered analytics platform for water utilities. The platform integrates with utility data silos (metering/billing, SCADA/IoT, CMMS, CRM, GIS/hydraulics) to deliver four core analytical workflows: (1) Network Monitoring Analytics for leak localization and burst detection via automated hydraulic calibration, (2) Meter Analytics for detecting abnormal meters, illegal connections, and revenue improvement opportunities, (3) Asset Condition Monitoring for tracking maintenance hotspots and stress clusters, and (4) Data-to-Outcomes Decision Support for continuous loss reduction tracking and planning. The platform adapts to each utility's unique data situation and has demonstrated measurable NRW reductions in as little as 3 months, with up to 75% accuracy in leak localization and up to 80% accuracy in detecting abnormal meters.
