Hidrotech Medição Inteligente

What Hidrotech Medição Inteligente does

Hidrotech Medição Inteligente Ltda. is a privately held Brazilian company founded in 1991 in Santos, São Paulo, that specializes in water and gas individualization systems for residential and commercial condominiums. Its core offering comprises three services: installation of individual metering infrastructure (remote telemetry via LoRa Wan and in-person meter reading), recurring monthly meter reading and consumption management, and preventive and corrective maintenance of pressure reducing valves (valvas redutoras de pressão, VRPs). The company serves síndicos (property managers), condominium administrators, construction companies, and selected hospitality clients, with a stated footprint of more than 60,000 families across 70+ cities in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Norte states.

The company's technology stack centers on the proprietary "Conta Certa" calculation method (validated over 20+ years), a self-service consumption management platform (SGC), LoRa Wan 3.0 IoT transmitters for remote reading, and an automated data verification system that flags reading errors and out-of-pattern consumption. Hardware is sourced from strategic partners BERMAD (hydraulic valves) and SAGA/RENOVA (hydrometers), with products holding ANATEL, UL LISTED, WRAS, and ProAcqua/SABESP certifications. Hidrotech's regulatory involvement includes co-developing Sabesp's first ProAcqua program and the rules for individual water accounts applied in 368 São Paulo municipalities.

Hidrotech generates revenue through a mix of one-time individualization installation projects (including hardware supply from BERMAD and SAGA/RENOVA), recurring monthly meter reading and consumption management fees, multi-installment maintenance contracts for pressure reducing valves (up to 12 installments), and direct equipment sales. Customer acquisition is primarily via direct enterprise field sales with on-site technical evaluation, supported by WhatsApp as the main contact channel, a website with regional quote forms, and a presence on Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The GTM motion targets both upstream specification (six of Brazil's ten largest construction companies, including MRV, Direcional, Even, Eztec, Gafisa, and Engeplus) and downstream retrofit/recurring service contracts with existing condominium stock. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set via custom quotation per project.
