VEPO Solutions

What VEPO Solutions does

VEPO Solutions LLC is a private, Astoria, NY-based software and services firm founded in 2017 that sells exclusively to North American utilities, with primary focus on municipal and investor-owned water utilities. The company is organized around three operating units: VEPO Metering provides turnkey Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) installation, audits, asset inventory, mapping, QA/QC, and call center support on multi-year project contracts; VPie is a cloud-native work order and asset management platform with a native mobile app designed for offline-capable field data collection, AI-driven smart scheduling and route optimization, GIS digital-twin mapping, and API integrations to billing, CIS, and 3rd-party systems; and CrossConnex is a freemium backflow prevention management platform that water utilities adopt at no cost, monetizing through a $15 per-test submission fee paid by device owners and collected via Stripe through a tester mobile app. VEPO Analytix sits under VPie as an outsourced Meter Data Management (MDM) service that monitors endpoints, generates leak/tamper/usage exception reports, and integrates MDM with billing and CIS.

Revenue is generated through three distinct mechanics: subscription-based software fees for VPie and VEPO Analytix (annual, quote-based), professional services / project-based fees for VEPO Metering installations (multi-year contracts), and transaction fees for CrossConnex (per backflow test submitted, with optional ~2.7–3% Stripe processing fee). The go-to-market blends consultative direct enterprise sales with a self-serve product-led motion via CrossConnex, supported by content marketing, social media, and video tutorials. The company employs 51–100 people, has three offices in the United States (Astoria HQ, Elmsford, and an additional Astoria location), and operates without disclosed institutional capital, indicating a bootstrapped, founder-led operating model. Key recent strategic signal is the October 2025 promotion of Tom Moore to President, reflecting an explicit growth mandate across water, wastewater, electric, and gas verticals.

Revenue model

1. CrossConnex Transaction Fees: Water utilities use CrossConnex software free of charge. Revenue is generated from a $15 submission fee paid by device owners (property/business owners) to backflow testers for each test submitted through the platform. This is a transaction-based revenue model where volume scales with the number of backflow tests conducted.
2. Metering Installation Services: VEPO Metering provides turnkey AMI and metering installation services including meter installations, audits, asset inventory, mapping, data management, logistics, QA/QC services, call center support, and technical assistance. Revenue is generated through professional services/project-based fees for installation projects.
3. VPie/VEPO Analytix Software Subscriptions: VPie provides Work Order and Asset Management as a cloud-based subscription. VEPO Analytix offers outsourced Meter Data Management Software (MDM) services. Revenue is generated through recurring software/service fees.

Emerging players

• Sedaru: Cloud-based water utility operations platform offering work order management, alerting, and field coordination. Closest emerging SaaS-native competitor to VPie for water/wastewater utilities at the mid-market.
• Routeware: Provides routing, mobile workflow, and asset management software for utilities and waste haulers. Overlaps with VPie's dispatch and field data capture capabilities for utility field operations.
• Cartegraph (a GovOS company): Asset and work order management software for infrastructure-heavy organizations including utilities. Competes with VPie's asset management module for municipal water and sewer customers.

Direct peers

• Badger Meter: Water metering specialist with significant installed base in municipal water utilities. Competes with VEPO Metering on AMI deployments and offers BEACON AMA as a software/MDM layer that overlaps with VEPO Analytix, though tightly coupled to its own meters.
• Mueller Water Products: Water infrastructure company offering metering, smart water solutions, and pipe products. Competes with VEPO Metering in AMI/smart water installations for municipal customers, particularly in the US.

Broad incumbents

• Itron: Global leader in AMI/AMR metering and utility network solutions. Directly competes with VEPO Metering in AMI installations and increasingly offers MDM and analytics that overlap with VEPO Analytix and VPie, but typically bundled with proprietary hardware.
• Esri (ArcGIS for Utilities): Dominant GIS platform for utilities including water/wastewater. VEPO's GIS/digital twin capabilities overlap with Esri's utility mapping, and Esri is often already deployed at VEPO's target customers, creating both partnership and competitive dynamics.
• Aclara (Hubbell): Provides AMI, metering, and consumer engagement solutions to electric, gas, and water utilities. Competes with VEPO across metering installation and the broader AMI software/analytics stack as a multi-utility incumbent.
• Tyler Technologies (Utility Billing / Cityworks): Major civic and utility software vendor with utility billing and asset management modules. Competes with VEPO's VPie/Analytix stack for municipal utility customers and benefits from deep government procurement relationships.
• Trimble (Utilities): Provides field service management, asset management, and mobile workforce solutions with a strong utility vertical. Directly competes with VPie on work order/asset management for water, electric, and gas utilities at enterprise scale.
