Intuitive solution for utility leaders
Every utility leader knows the reality: budgets are tight, internal engineering capacity is limited, and the easiest answer - replace everything everywhere at once - is not financially possible. What matters now is prioritization.
The traditional choice has been miserable: spread money thinly across the map and hope for the best, or concentrate spending in one area and prepare for the political fallout.
Data-driven prioritization does not eliminate the tradeoffs, but it does make them explainable. It gives city councils, regulators, and residents a clearer answer to the question that matters most: why this neighborhood, why this year, and why this project first?
The Prioritizing Lead Solution is built into the APX® platform, allowing utilities to easily manage the job themselves but can also serve as a solution suitable for utility consultants and engineers engaged in helping utilities provide better public legitimacy for their projects and expenditures.
"We evaluated similar platforms but found that they are asking us to do a lot of the heavy lifting that APX® is doing already. This allowed us to start making decisions about our system in weeks rather than spending months or years to set everything up ourselves."
Brian Bracey
Huntington Water Quality Board, Executive Director
"The insights that APX provides are something that we wish we had when we initially requested the rate increase. The criticality scoring system and budget impact dashboard is exactly what we are looking for as we continue to work on improving our infrastructure quality."
Tracie Marshall
City of Portage, Wastewater Plant Superintendent
"With the introduction of the APX10 platform, we are laying the foundation for future-proofed wastewater management. Our decisions are no longer based only on experience and data silos but on data-driven, objective analyses where we connect as much data as possible."
Markus Beine
STEB Paderborn, Operations Manager
