South West Water Case Study

Strategic technology partnership delivering AI-powered infrastructure management and predictive analytics across South West Water's equipment registration ecosystem.

Client Overview

South West Water is a major UK water utility company responsible for critical infrastructure across the South West region. As part of their digital transformation initiative, the organization required modernization of their infrastructure equipment registration processes to support operational efficiency, data-driven decision-making, and strategic planning at scale.

The organization managed complex equipment registration workflows through manual, paper- based processes across multiple project stages (TRR0, TRR1, TRR3), creating significant operational challenges and limiting visibility into project health, resource utilization, and performance trends.

The Challenge

1

South West Water faced significant operational inefficiencies managing infrastructure equipment registration through legacy, manual processes. Their paper-based system created bottlenecks, limited visibility into project health, and barriers to data-driven decision-making.

2

Without intelligent automation or predictive analytics, teams struggled with manual data entry, fragmented approval workflows, and lack of real-time insights into project status and resource allocation. Managers lacked visibility into historical patterns, risk indicators, and optimization opportunities. Key challenges included transforming manual three-tier progression workflows, consolidating data from 5,000+ records, implementing intelligent automation, enabling predictive performance optimization, and establishing adaptive security while ensuring seamless user adoption.
