Our Know-How
Belonging to a group such as Veolia Water, our teams have a unique experience and expertise both in engineering and operations and maintenance.
Therefore, we can provide expertise in metering, billing, reduction of non revenue water, SCADA and GIS systems, operation and maintenance procedures, etc. in order to provide a comprehensive technical assistance to water authorities or to any entity managing water and wastewater infrastructures.
In particular, we can provide a support in customer management, which is an essential part of the management of any water and wastewater service.
The objectives leading to an improvement in customer management can be categorized as follows: reduction of commercial losses, reduction of unpaid bills, reduction of costs related to customer management, and customer relations. To achieve these objectives, we have developped an expertise in metering, water demand, information systems and commercial management processes.
