Outpost Central
Auckland-based smart water meter technological developer
To be the global leader in smart water meter technology
Globally
Outpost Central develops smart water meter technology to help customers
monitor and manage their water resources to reduce costs. By
connecting water meters to the Internet, Outpost Central provides
detailed and timely information on consumption patterns to help manage
water use, reduce leaks and meet regulatory obligations. Outpost has
delivered solutions in Australia with major water utilities, large
commercial customers and in more than 1000 Australian schools, and
typically achieved a reduction in water consumption of 20% with large
users. Outpost Central is New Zealand’s third fastest growing
technology company, with 75% of its revenue from exports, and has plans
to be the global leader in smart water meter technology. |
Judges: “Outpost Central is particularly exciting for The University of
Auckland, as its two founders are both young graduates (engineering and
commerce) with complementary skills and a focused approach to future
success. The company offers highly innovative ideas in a very
important sector that will become more and more critical with the
passing of time and the impact of lessening natural resources, and so
offer huge opportunities for Outpost Central. We believe in its
potential internationally.”
