See the network, cut the losses.

 

Sentiv gives utilities real-time visibility of infrastructure they cannot easily reach, and a tamper-proof record of everything a regulator cares about. Pressure, level, flow and quality sensors on low-power and satellite networks report from urban and rural assets alike, so leaks, faults and losses are found early rather than discovered after the fact. Readings flow into the dashboards and SCADA systems teams already use, turning raw data into action without ripping out existing investment. Delivered by locally hosted platforms, it helps utilities cut non-revenue losses, extend the life of ageing infrastructure and satisfy tightening reporting obligations.

 

The Challenge

 

Utilities lose a significant share of water and energy to leaks, theft and ageing infrastructure, and much of the network sits in remote or hard-to-reach locations with no easy way to see what is happening. Non-revenue water in particular is a persistent, costly problem, and faults are often only discovered once they have caused damage or loss. Regulators demand auditable, defensible data, and budgets rarely stretch to wholesale system replacement. Utilities need visibility and proof, delivered on top of the infrastructure they already run.

 

How Sentiv Helps

 

Multi-protocol IoT sensors on low-power wide-area and satellite networks report pressure, level, flow and quality from assets across the network, including sites with no cellular coverage. Early-warning analytics flag leaks and faults so crews are dispatched before small problems become failures, directly reducing non-revenue water and energy loss. Every reading is captured with a tamper-proof audit trail, so data is defensible for regulatory reporting, and dashboards feed the SCADA and control systems teams already use. Sentiv delivers this with locally hosted platforms, so it fits both the technical and the compliance requirements of the sector.

FAQ

Common Questions

“How does Sentiv help cut non-revenue water?”

Sentiv places pressure, level, flow and quality sensors across the network, including remote and rural assets, and connects them over low-power and satellite networks. Early-warning analytics flag leaks, bursts and abnormal usage as they develop, so crews are dispatched before a small fault becomes a major loss. Real-time dashboards show where water is going, which turns non-revenue water from an annual estimate into something you can see and act on daily. Over time the same data helps target maintenance and infrastructure spend where it will save the most.

“Is the data auditable for regulators?”

Yes. Every sensor reading is captured with a tamper-proof audit trail that records what was measured, where and when, so the data cannot be quietly changed. That makes it defensible for regulatory reporting and for any dispute about performance or billing. Because the platform is locally hosted, the data stays in South Africa in line with data-sovereignty and POPIA requirements. Reports can be produced on demand rather than reconstructed from manual records.
