The water in your properties, read on its own and split without arguments
Reading meters door to door costs you a morning per property, and the reading is only as good as whoever was home that day. When the bill finally arrives too high, the argument lands in the owners meeting — and the leak has been running for two months.
Datakubo reads the meters for you. Every meter reports on its own, the platform watches the consumption of each one, and it warns you when a meter starts using far more than usual. At the end of the period you download the cost split per home, ready to bill.
What manual meter reading really costs you
A morning per property every quarter, estimated readings for the homes nobody answered, owners disputing figures they cannot check, and leaks discovered by the water bill two months later. None of that is a software problem — it is a data problem: you only look at the meter four times a year.
How it works, without you touching anything technical
Meters that report on their own get fitted
If the property still has mechanical meters, an installer from our network fits or swaps them. You do not need a crew of your own — installer network available in Spain only.
The readings arrive by themselves
Each meter sends its reading without anyone visiting. No more visits, no more estimates, no more "nobody was home".
The platform watches every meter
It learns what is normal for each home and raises the alarm when consumption climbs far above it — while the leak is still cheap to fix.
You close the period and download the split
Consumption per meter in CSV or PDF, ready to take to the owners meeting or hand to your billing software.
Every owner sees their own consumption
You invite each owner by email and they get their own access to the portal. From their phone they see their meter, their consumption this month, the day-by-day breakdown and their own alerts — which is what stops the calls asking whether a reading is right. Nobody sees anybody else's water.
What each owner gets
- Their own access, invited by email — no passwords to hand out
- Consumption this month and a day-by-day breakdown
- Their own leak alerts, which they can acknowledge themselves
- History from the day they became the holder: the previous owner stays invisible
- An owner who can check their own figures does not dispute the split
What changes for you
- No more door-to-door reading rounds
- No estimated readings, so no disputed bills
- Leaks caught in hours instead of on the next bill
- A cost split each owner can check for themselves
- Every owner sees their own consumption and stops calling you
- One place for every property you manage
Who pays for it
It costs €0.50 per meter per month — around €6 per home per year, less than a single wasted reading round. It is passed on to the community as a service like any other, and one leak caught early usually pays for several years of it.
A real example: 120 rural meters
AquaLinks digitized 120 rural meters in Tarragona in under 48 hours. The communities they manage read their water on their own, settle it without arguments, and see a leak the same day it starts.
Do I have to replace the meters in the property?
Only if they are mechanical. If the meters already send readings on their own, they connect as they are. If they are read by hand, an installer from our network fits or swaps them — available in Spain only.
Who fits the meters?
An installer from our network. You do not need to build a crew or coordinate the work yourself: they fit the meters and hand them over already reporting.
Do I need to install anything in my office?
No. You open a web page and there it is. Nothing to install, nothing to maintain, no technical setup on your side.
Can each owner see their own consumption?
Yes. Each home has its own access and sees only its own meter — which is what stops the calls asking whether the reading is right.
Does it work in a development with its own well?
Yes. It is one of the most common cases: the platform compares the main well meter with the individual ones and shows where the water is going missing.
