High Tide Technologies

What High Tide Technologies does

High Tide Technologies is a privately held, Nashville, Tennessee-based provider of cloud-based SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) solutions for remote monitoring and control of municipal utility infrastructure, primarily water, wastewater, and gas systems. Founded around 2002 (per firmographic records; 2008 per legal entity filings), the company sells a vertically integrated stack consisting of its proprietary High Tide Web App cloud platform paired with a family of Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) — the configurable GEN-2, the compact GEN-2 Lite, the entry-level Nano, and the HTT-1100 — and also distributes RAFA Systems hardware (RAFA LTE 600, RAFA LTE 900, Aqua Hero) under a sister-company relationship. The platform supports cellular, satellite, and Ethernet connectivity, real-time alarms via voice/text/email, automatic regulatory reporting, predictive maintenance alerts, and zone metering for leak detection, and the company has held SOC-2 Type 2 certification since December 2020.

The company monetizes through hardware unit sales (RTUs sold via distributors) plus a separate paid subscription for the High Tide Web App, producing a mix of upfront hardware revenue and recurring software revenue. Go-to-market is exclusively indirect: High Tide relies on a nationwide authorized distributor network covering all 50 U.S. states and Canada (including named partners such as Wascon, Municipal Equipment Co., Trombold Equipment, Site Specific Design, Whitney Equipment, Energenecs, Freemire & Associates, F.R. Mahony, James Cooke & Hobson, ASquared, and Devine & Associates in Canada), supplemented by direct sales and 24/7/365 technical support. End customers are predominantly municipal water, wastewater, and gas utilities — including Harriman Utility Board, Water Authority of Dickson County, City of Byram, City of Dover, East Dunkard Water Authority, and Great River UOC — with documented outcomes including 10% water loss reduction and roughly $5,000 in annual overtime savings per customer.

The company is led by President David B. Mundie, PhD, operates with 11-50 employees from its headquarters at 435 Metroplex Dr., Nashville, TN 37211, and has no disclosed external funding rounds, acquisitions, or parent company. Reported strategic initiatives include the SCADA Academy educational event series (with a 2026 edition underway) and continued distributor channel expansion.

Direct peers

• Tesco Controls: Tesco Controls manufactures SCADA systems, instrumentation, and control panels for water and wastewater utilities. It is comparable to HTT as a SCADA hardware and systems integrator targeting the same municipal utility market in the western US.
• Mission Communications: Mission Communications provides cellular-based remote monitoring and SCADA solutions specifically for water, wastewater, and lift-station applications. It is the closest direct competitor to HTT in cloud-native, hardware-plus-software utility monitoring, with a similar municipal utility go-to-market.
• Data Flow Systems: Data Flow Systems designs and manufactures SCADA/telemetry hardware and software for water, wastewater, and irrigation utilities. Like HTT, it bundles RTU hardware with hosted software and serves small-to-mid municipal utilities via direct and channel sales.
• Ovarro: Ovarro (formerly Servelec Technologies) provides remote telemetry units and SCADA software for water, wastewater, and gas utilities globally. Its cellular/satellite RTU + cloud software architecture is directly comparable to HTT's product approach, with broader international reach.
• Silversmith Telemetry: Silversmith Telemetry delivers cloud-based SCADA and remote monitoring for water and wastewater utilities with a focus on easy-to-deploy cellular telemetry. It overlaps directly with HTT's cloud SCADA + RTU + subscription model and serves the same municipal buyer.

Broad incumbents

• ABB: ABB offers industrial automation, control, and SCADA systems used by water and wastewater utilities worldwide. It is comparable to HTT as an automation supplier to the same municipal water customers but operates at much larger scale and across multiple industries.
• Itron: Itron provides smart water metering, AMI networks, and utility data management solutions to water utilities worldwide. It is comparable as a broad incumbent serving the same municipal buyer, with solutions that overlap with HTT's remote-monitoring value proposition.
• Xylem (Sensus): Xylem, through its Sensus brand, offers smart metering, AMI, and utility network solutions for water utilities at scale. It is a much larger incumbent serving the same municipal water customers as HTT but with broader portfolio breadth and global reach.
• Mueller Water Products: Mueller Water Products manufactures water infrastructure products (valves, hydrants, pipe) and increasingly offers smart-water monitoring and leak-detection solutions. It competes with HTT for the same municipal utility budget through an adjacent product portfolio.
• Schneider Electric (AVEVA): Schneider Electric, through AVEVA and EcoStruxure, provides industrial SCADA and utility automation software/hardware for water and wastewater. It is a broad incumbent with much deeper R&D resources and global scale, targeting the same water/wastewater vertical as HTT.
