Most water meters do not provide real-time monitoring or much insight into the water use of a facility; they are designed to clock in on a monthly basis for billing. GOmeter turns traditional water meters into smart water meters by using a low-cost, camera-based system combined with a sophisticated data-crunching backend. GOmeter allows residents, businesses, and cities to monitor water usage without going through the more intrusive and costly process of installing smart meters. The GOmeter device transmits time-stamped pictures of user’s water meter displays, creating an automated extraction of user data. With only 24 hours of monitoring, GOmeter can sift through a facility’s water data and identify, in nearly real-time, any costly and wasteful water patterns such as high usage spikes, pipe leaks, and appliance malfunctions.

WaterSmart Software specializes in providing a cloud-based customer engagement and analytics platform tailored for water utility managers. By leveraging advanced intelligence beyond traditional meter data, the platform enhances customer service and operational efficiency for water providers. Users of WaterSmart's solutions have demonstrated significant improvements, including cost reductions, revenue protection, and a notable increase in customer satisfaction. The platform empowers consumers by granting access to detailed information, which helps them address inquiries and resolve common issues.

WaterSmart's innovative approach has earned it recognition, including the prestigious World Economic Forum Technology Pioneers Award.
