I2O produce solutions for the global water industry.
In real world situations we're making sure
that people across the planet are having a consistent water
supply.
That involves gathering data from their networks,
running advanced analytics on that
to deliver actionable insights.
And we're here to find smart ways of managing water
networks.
There was a major city last year that
was very close to running out of a stable water supply.
Due to lack of rainfall for a number of years,
the reservoir levels had become drastically low.
If they have to discontinue the water supply,
they will have to decide which parts of the city
no longer have water.
That's a difficult political decision.
They turned to us to provide some pressure management
systems so they could deliver a much lower pressure
and reduce the demand that was being
put on their infrastructure.
But at that time we were flat out working
on an order for another customer who'd ordered 200
systems, a much, much bigger order,
and we just couldn't supply the customer who
needed the product the most.
So we went back to our major customer and said,
look, these guys are desperate.
If we don't supply to them, their city
is going to run out of water.
We were able to discuss with that client
whether we could shift the resource
and deliver there's a little later, which, fortunately, they
were happy to do to support this city.
We delivered that, they reduced the pressure by up to 75%,
and then managed to avoid the taps running dry.
Since we've implemented QAD in the cloud
in curating user experience, the data is much more accessible.
You can look at the dashboards, and you can look at the data
that you need, you can get reports out that you require.
I can sit at home a night with my mobile phone,
I can access QAD on there through the app.
I can go and see inventory in my own location,
and I can see it in the overseas locations as well.
It's enabled user adoption, it's enabled
to train staff a lot quicker, and it's improved our order
processing times by 40%.
It's really smart.
I'm most proud that we're helping
to ensure that life is sustained on this planet
through delivering clean, safe drinking water.
You know, maybe not today and maybe not next year,
but in the future, it's going to mean the difference between
survival or not.
