Kayseri Water provides water and treats wastewater for over 510 000 customers in the region of Kayseri, Turkey. Digitization of paper maps of infrastructure was completed in 2002. Subsequently, several geographic information systems (GIS) programs based on ArcGIS were tried for managing inventory. However, Kayseri Wateras strategic challenge was to integrate all types of data pipeline geographic coordinates, network operational data, customer and call center information, and maintenance schedules. With this kind of integration, data become more reliable and up-to-date, and can be accessed via controlled accounts by everyone in the organization, from managers to maintenance crews.
In 2014, Kayseri Water decided that the best way to integrate their diverse types of data, manage daily operations and plan strategic growth was to
use HydronetMaestro, a data environment designed specifically for managing water and wastewater distribution systems.
use HydronetMaestro, a data environment designed specifically for managing water and wastewater distribution systems.
The key to combining diverse data involved in water distribution is the approach known as geographic information systems (GIS). In GIS, all data are associated with geographic coordinates. This way, diverse types of data become integrated into a single, zoomable, searchable environment.
- Manage network inventory, maintenance status
and connectivity in real time - Increase customer satisfaction by integrating customer addresses, field crew work schedules and local service status
- Web-based applications for marketing and sales management and spatial decision-making
- Each customer was located by correct address superimposed on the network map, enabling individual or category statistics to be generated at any scale
- Improve workflow throughout the organization, because everyone uses the same integrated system via controlled accounts
- Clean, simple design
