Providing data-led expertise

At Business Stream, we believe in providing our customers with all the data they need to effectively manage their water consumption and achieve efficiencies. However, our own experts can also support you with tailored analytics services. Through specialist data monitoring, we identify savings potential and quickly spot leaks to help you avoid unnecessary water charges.

“I would like to thank Business Stream for identifying the problem and alerting us to the situation so quickly. As soon as we were notified and carried out an investigation on-site, the problem was found and addressed within a couple of days. Over and above the water saving, the ongoing cost saving was approx. £45 per day or £16,000 per year.”

Automated meter readers

An automated meter reader (AMR) is a device fitted to your site's water meter that monitors water use by taking readings every 15 minutes. These are automatically transmitted to the AMR portal.
In just a few simple steps, you can access detailed data for your site(s), understand your water use patterns and quickly identify spikes in consumption that could indicate a leak. Our team of experts will also monitor this data and alert you to any potential issues, helping you save on unnecessary costs. To enquire about how AMRs can help your business, just fill in the form below and we'll be in touch.

Smart metering

The rollout of smart meters in the UK is a key part of the strategy to reduce demand, cut leakage and empower customers to use water more efficiently.

It’s being managed by the regional water wholesalers, who will work with water suppliers like us to let you know in advance when your smart meter will be fitted. Once installed and operational, you’ll have access to more detailed consumption data that can help you make smarter decisions about water use. It’s a simple step that could make a big difference to your business and to the environment.
