From Hardware Manufacturer to IoT Data Provider

Globalbit brought smart water management to millions of homes worldwide by building IoT and mobile solutions for Arad Technologies' smart water metering systems.

[ THE CHALLENGE ]

A Traditional Industry Stuck in the Analog Age

Arad Technologies makes world-class smart water meters — hardware installed in millions of homes across 60+ countries. But their customers had zero digital tools. Meter readings were manual. Leaks went undetected. Consumers had no visibility into their own water usage. Arad needed a digital platform to match their hardware leadership.

  • -Manual Meter ReadingWater utilities relied on physical meter readings — sending staff door-to-door, creating delays, errors, and massive operational costs
  • -Zero Consumer VisibilityMillions of homeowners and businesses had no way to monitor their own water consumption in real time, leading to waste and surprise bills
  • -No Leak DetectionWater leaks went undetected for days or weeks, causing property damage, water waste, and inflated bills for consumers worldwide
  • -Scaling Across 60+ MarketsArad needed a single platform serving water utilities across different countries, languages, and regulatory standards — without custom builds for each market

"Arad Technologies wanted to bring disruptive technology into the traditional water metering market — combining hardware excellence with a consumer-grade digital experience that could scale globally."

A White-Label IoT Platform for the Global Water Industry

Globalbit designed and built a complete self-service portal — web and mobile — that connects directly to Arad's smart meters via IoT. Consumers track their water usage in real time, get instant leak alerts, compare consumption patterns, and set vacation monitoring limits. The platform was created as a White Label product, opening the door for the largest water corporations in the world to personalize it for their customers.

For water corporations, the portal transforms their service model. Instead of manual meter readings and billing disputes, they offer their customers a premium digital experience — reducing complaints, eliminating reading errors, and cutting operational costs. Each utility deploys the platform under their own brand identity, making it appear as their own product while being powered by Arad's technology.

[ CONSUMER EXPERIENCE ]

Every Drop, Tracked and Visible

The Read Your Meter Pro app puts water intelligence in consumers' hands — from real-time dashboards to proactive alerts that prevent waste and save money.

[ 01 ]

Real-Time Consumption Dashboard

Homeowners and businesses see their water usage in real time with intuitive bar charts, daily/weekly/monthly views, and end-of-month forecasts — turning invisible consumption into actionable insight.
[ 02 ]

Instant Leak Alerts

Smart algorithms detect unusual consumption patterns and push real-time leak notifications to users' phones — stopping leaks before they become disasters, saving water and preventing property damage.
[ 03 ]

Consumption Comparison

Users compare their current usage against previous periods and neighborhood averages, encouraging water conservation and catching anomalies early — before the next utility bill arrives.
[ 04 ]

Vacation Mode

Set a daily usage limit while away from home. If consumption exceeds the threshold, an instant alert notifies you — catching leaks or unauthorized usage immediately, no matter where you are.

[ BUSINESS PLATFORM ]

One Platform, Deployed by Utilities Worldwide

Water utilities get a turnkey digital platform that elevates their service, reduces costs, and creates competitive advantage — without building anything themselves.

[ 01 ]

White-Label Architecture

Each water utility gets a fully branded portal with their logo, colors, and domain — appearing as their own product while powered by Arad's platform. Zero development needed per client.
[ 02 ]

Water Utility Admin Dashboard

Utility companies manage millions of meters from a central dashboard — monitoring consumption patterns, detecting network leaks, and generating billing-ready reports in real time.
[ 03 ]

Cross-Platform Deployment

Web portal and native mobile apps (Android & iOS) give consumers and utilities access from any device, anywhere in the world. One platform, every screen, consistent experience.

[ ARCHITECTURE ]

Built for Millions of Connected Meters

The IoT backbone that powers real-time water intelligence at global scale — from smart meter data ingestion to consumer-facing analytics.

Multi-Tenant White Label

Single codebase serving hundreds of water utilities with full brand customization, isolated data, and configurable feature sets per tenant — infinite scalability, zero duplication.

Massive API Consumption

Integrated powerfully with Arad's existing IoT API data lake, transforming complex raw meter events into an intuitive, real-time analytics dashboard for end-users.

Cross-Platform Native

Built as native iOS and Android apps alongside a responsive web application to ensure maximum performance, instant push notifications for leak alerts, and a premium UX.
[ RESULTS ]

From Meter Maker to Digital IoT Leader

The self-service portal didn't just digitize Arad's offering — it repositioned the entire company. Arad now competes as a technology platform, not just a hardware manufacturer.

Key Outcomes:

  • -From Hardware to EcosystemArad transformed from a hardware meter manufacturer into a digital IoT data provider, offering a complete B2B2C solution for water utilities globally.
  • -Global Customer AdoptionWater utilities in over 60 countries deployed the platform to their end consumers, easily bringing their services into the digital age.
  • -Reduced Water WasteLeak alerts and real-time monitoring dramatically cut water waste — saving consumers money and helping utilities reduce non-revenue water losses.
  • -Improved Service QualityWater corporations provide faster, more transparent service — reducing customer support calls and eliminating meter-reading billing disputes.
