What Olameter does
Olameter Inc. is a privately held utility solutions provider, incorporated in Canada with US operations, founded in 1998 and headquartered with its Canadian Head Office in Montreal, Quebec (US head office in Waukesha, Wisconsin). The company delivers outsourced meter services, asset management, IT/OT platforms, and meter data management to distribution utilities — electric, gas, water, sewer, and street lighting — as well as telecom carriers across 43 US states and 8 Canadian provinces. Olameter reports serving over 300 distribution utilities and managing a workforce of approximately 1,320 employees, with cumulative deployments exceeding 30 million smart-meter installations and over 400 million meter reads processed.
The product portfolio splits into field services (meter reading, mass AMI/AMR installations, meter maintenance, asset management including underground locating, leak detection, and pole audits, plus utility field services) and technology platforms (IoT Platform with embedded eSIM, 24/7 Network Operations Center, Spatial Data Infrastructure built on Kubernetes and Minio, AMI/C&I Data Platforms, Meter Aggregation, Web Presentment, System Hosting, and a Workforce Management System). AI and ML are applied to quality assurance — computer vision verifies meter readings from photos, GPS/azimuth/inertial sensor data validates underground locates, and the Spatial Data Infrastructure correlates diverse big-data sources geospatially. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and OHSAS 18001:2007 certifications and complies with AWWA, DOT Operator Qualification, AODA, and GDPR/CCPA requirements.
Revenue is generated through a mix of professional services (project-based meter reading, installations, and consulting — sometimes fixed unit price or open-book), managed services (24/7 NOC, system hosting), and subscription/recurring fees for MDM platforms and call-center operations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based; the go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales into utilities with subcontracting to system integrators and a January 2026 strategic collaboration with PwC Canada targeting Canadian AMI deployments. The company has expanded through seven named acquisitions since 2001, most notably Tribus Services in 2020 (formerly Corix Utilities), and maintains operations centers in Aurora, Ontario and a 24/7 Network Operations Center serving both US and Canadian clients.
