FLOWD is a water conservation initiative, to help communities safeguard their water future. FLOWD was designed and built with a philosophy of "beautiful, but not at the expense of practical", delivering water conservation and cost savings from 10% to 30% based on current customers experience. FLOWD is unique in the water management space as it approaches the challenge with functionality that offers lowest cost to enter, run and maintain large fleets of devices, from our industry first "one click install & validate" onboarding process (saving an estimated 40% cost on deployments) to alert detail, deployment and management that saves days work in setting and deploying. FLOWD was built to be telco / data source agnostic, offering choice of device and carriage. FLOWD interfaces with both Cumulocity (Software AG / Telstra) and Impact (Nokia / Optus) platforms to receive data in real time, and allows the water provider / property manager to choose providers that best suit their needs. FLOWD has support from companies such as Singlestore (Big Data), Amazon Web Services, and is connected to both Telstra and Optus as an enterprise water solution. Show less As CTO of FLOWD.
