Note on Delivery & Collaboration: While CoLab Works leads the overarching strategy, brand architecture, and digital marketing execution, complex custom builds of this scale are brought to life through our trusted project-by-project development partnership with Elemental—noted as their tech partner in bringing the platform to life. Our team possesses the end-to-end capability to design, architect, and manage any digital build, and this collaboration ensures our clients receive elite enterprise-grade engineering alongside our bespoke design and marketing expertise.
The Challenge
Water data involves complex facets, most notably varying regions and global timezones. The core challenge required architecting the database and web application so that clients worldwide could access extremely accurate data regardless of their location, while ensuring that automated notification events accurately calculated triggers across disparate timezones.
The Approach
Our strategy focused on transforming massive amounts of telemetry from physical meters into a concise, intuitive digital product. We prioritized comprehensive UX planning for diverse graphing screens and dashboards, allowing users to effortlessly drill down into data spanning from years down to individual hours.
The Execution
Engineered collaboratively through our specialized tech partnership with Elemental utilizing CodeIgniter, PHP, MySQL, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and canvasJS, we built the core web application, integrated physical water meter data streams, implemented smart leak-detection notifications, and later expanded the platform to include a utility self-management portal for municipal report reconciliation.
The strategy landed where it counted — in the market, with the audience and on the screen. Three measurable outcomes from a focused, purposeful engagement.
Data.
Clarity.
Intuitive graphing tools and dashboards that summarize staggering amounts of usage data into clear, actionable formats across desktop, mobile, and tablet.
Proactive.
Alerts.
Clever real-time notifications triggered automatically when water leaks and excessive usage patterns are detected.
