What Ovarro does

Ovarro is a Sheffield-headquartered industrial technology company that designs, manufactures and operates hardware, software and managed services for monitoring critical and national infrastructure, with primary focus on water and wastewater utilities and secondary exposure to oil & gas, broadcast, transport, power and process industries. Its technology stack combines remote telemetry units (TBox RTUs), acoustic leak noise loggers and correlators (Enigma and Eureka ranges, including the Enigma5 series launched April 2025), flow loggers (XiLogFlow, XiLogIoT) and SCADA telemetry systems, all feeding the Atrium cloud analytics platform which hosts LeakInsight automated correlation and BurstDetect machine-learning sewer monitoring.

The company monetises through four streams: one-time hardware sales (RTUs, loggers, sensors), recurring software subscriptions on Atrium, fully managed services such as LeakNavigator and EnigmaREACH (which bundle hardware, deployment, analytics and field expertise), and professional consultancy (asset management, leakage & demand, network optimisation). Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with a global network of 70+ certified Authorised Ovarro Partners delivering local-language support across the UK, Netherlands, Australia, Belgium, the Middle East, Southern Europe and beyond. The business is privately held, owned by Indicor, LLC since September 2024 (previously by FFL Partners from 2019), operates under multiple ISO certifications and Achilles UVDB pre-qualifications, and counts Thames Water, Severn Trent Water, Anglian Water, United Utilities, Bristol Water and Southern Water among its named enterprise customers.
