SimplySmart is an effective water management tool for residential and commercial projects. It comprises a water meter with a data recorder and transmitter, plus a cloud-based software platform that provides information on water consumption and data on several other parameters.

SimplySmart needed to build a real-time smart water management platform from scratch that could securely handle data from edge devices to the cloud. With over 6,000 active meters across India, the system had to manage large volumes of time-series data, enable automated billing, and support complex site-level operations. Ensuring data security, seamless scalability, and traceability across workflows was essential.

The Josh Edge

Leveraging our strengths in IoT integrations, real-time architectures, and secure cloud platforms, we built a scalable and reliable water management system. Here’s what we implemented:

Event-Driven Architecture: Designed a microservices-based backend to process meter data in real time, enabling seamless billing, alerts, and analytics.

Device-to-Cloud Communication: Implemented an MQTT layer with short-lived access keys and SSL-secured REST endpoints for safe and reliable messaging.

Role-Based Dashboards: Developed Angular/React admin dashboards and Flutter-based resident mobile apps with real-time consumption views, alerts, and billing features.

Leak Detection & Alerts Engine: Built configurable thresholds for per-flat usage to instantly detect leaks and abnormal consumption, reducing wastage and ensuring timely response.

Integrated Billing Workflows: Enabled both prepaid (with auto shut-off) and postpaid billing systems, supported by a unified payment gateway integration.

Security & Compliance: Ensured complete audit logging, communication encryption, and system diagnostics for operational traceability and compliance readiness.

Deliver Real Value

Operational Automation – Eliminated manual workflows by automating meter data processing, billing, and alert systems across all sites.

Proactive Leakage Detection – Reduced water wastage and improved reliability through real-time alerts for unusual consumption patterns.

Empowered Site Admins – Delivered data-rich dashboards with remote control capabilities and actionable insights for operational efficiency.
