With WaterScope® PLUS, Metron Opens the Door to Smarter Water Management
Powerful data dashboard delivers real-time insights and water analytics for utilities and real-estate firms
BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Metron, the global leader in cellular-based smart metering and water intelligence, today announced the launch of WaterScope® PLUS, an intuitive new business intelligence dashboard that brings the full power of advanced water analytics within reach for utility providers, real-estate firms, and other commercial and industrial organizations.
“Using Metron’s industry-leading smart meters, businesses are already collecting incredibly rich minute-by-minute water data. Now, WaterScope PLUS empowers them to use that data to drive action,” says Dr. Ellie Graeden, Metron’s chief data and product officer. “Using an easily interpretable software solution such as WaterScope PLUS, users can rapidly identify and prioritize problems, identify opportunities to cut costs and boost revenues, communicate effectively with their customers, and capture powerful new efficiencies across their operations.”
WaterScope PLUS draws data from a company’s entire array of smart meters and water sensors into a web-based digital dashboard offering at-a-glance access to the targeted metrics needed to manage water use and reduce operating costs. WaterScope PLUS provides a range of powerful data tools, including tracking monthly water consumption, monitoring water expenses passed on to tenants, or generating instant alerts for properties with active leaks.
Users can also access powerful machine learning insights gleaned from Metron’s massive network of smart meters. By analyzing the half billion data points we collect every day, WaterScope PLUS rapidly detects and flags leaks and other changes in customer water usage—and provides accurate estimates of how much any water loss is costing the company or its tenants, enabling teams to more efficiently prioritize key maintenance tasks.
Teams can also use WaterScope PLUS to monitor water consumption and cost trends for their company and their industry as a whole, and easily compare key KPIs—including water use, maintenance efficacy, and operational costs—to those of industry peers. Business leaders can zoom out to explore trends across a property portfolio or geographic region, or zoom in to check water usage, identify leaks, and surface new water- and money-saving opportunities for specific properties or individual residential or commercial units.
“With WaterScope PLUS, we’re connecting the dots between smart meters and business operations and helping organizations of all kinds—from utilities to real-estate managers—make smarter decisions that drive real bottom-line benefits,” Dr. Graeden says. “Water intelligence has always been a powerful source of business insights, and now Metron is providing the enhanced analysis and tools leaders need to apply those insights across their organizations.”
