Zinier for water utilities

From sampling cycles to safety compliance, Zinier FSM keeps water utilities crews on schedule, preventative maintenance on track and leak-to-repair times within regulatory tolerances.

No two days are the same in water utilities field service.

Sampling and inspection cycles slip and only show up in a compliance return. Service line inventory data is inconsistent because every crew records it differently. The time between finding a leak and fixing it properly triggers penalties. Permit-to-work and competency checks depend on someone remembering to do them. Contractor crews can create blind spots in quality and evidence.

‍

Most field service platforms aren’t set up to handle the issues water utilities face shift after shift. Zinier FSM is different: a platform that’s designed for the way you work today and evolves to meet tomorrow’s challenges.

Keep critical assets running

Treatment Plant & Pump Station Maintenance

Schedule preventive maintenance, inspections, and repairs across treatment plants, pump stations, reservoirs, and lift stations. Give technicians full asset history and safety procedures on mobile, and turn findings into follow-up work automatically.

Outcome

Fewer unplanned failures and longer asset life.

Leak Detection & Repair

Find it, fix it, stop the loss.

Turn leak reports, survey findings, and sensor alerts into prioritized work orders. Dispatch the right crew with the right equipment, and capture repair details, locations, and photos on site.

Outcome

Reduced non-revenue water and faster repair times.

Main Break & Emergency Response

Restore service fast.

When a main breaks, Zinier prioritizes work by customer impact and crew location, then re-plans the schedule in real time. Coordinate shutoffs, repairs, and customer notifications from one view.

Outcome

Shorter outages and fewer customers affected.

Hydrant Flushing & Valve Exercising

Stay on program, network-wide.

Plan and track recurring flushing, hydrant inspections, and valve exercising programs by zone. Field crews record readings, conditions, and completion as they go, so every asset has an up-to-date record.

Outcome

Better water quality, valves that work when you need them, and complete program records.

Wastewater & Sewer Maintenance

Prevent backups before they happen.

Schedule sewer cleaning, CCTV inspections, and manhole surveys. Capture condition findings in the field and turn defects into repair or rehabilitation work.

Outcome

Fewer overflows and blockages, and stronger regulatory compliance.

Paving & Restoration Programs

Close every ticket to spec.

Manage restoration contractors from assignment through sign-off. Capture proof of work against each municipality’s specifications, so every job is verifiable before it’s invoiced, and keep customers updated until the ticket is closed.

Outcome

Higher customer satisfaction, stronger relationships with municipalities, and faster, more accurate contractor invoicing.

Metering Programs

Install and maintain meters at scale.

Run meter installations, exchanges, and smart meter rollouts with optimized routes and guided mobile workflows. Capture readings, serials, and evidence on site.

Outcome

Higher completion rates, fewer repeat visits, and more accurate billing.

Customer Service Requests

Keep every customer promise.

Handle turn-ons, shutoffs, pressure complaints, water quality checks, and high-bill investigations with SLA-driven scheduling and real-time status updates.

Outcome

Faster resolution and higher customer satisfaction.

Backflow & Cross-Connection Testing

Protect the supply, prove compliance.

Schedule recurring backflow tests, track certified testers, and record results automatically. Overdue tests are flagged before they become compliance issues.

Outcome

Fewer missed tests and a complete compliance record.

Every sample, every cycle, evidenced on time.

For drinking water, a missed sampling or inspection cycle isn't just a business problem; it's a potential public health issue. The same is true for permit breaches or storm overflows on the wastewater side. Zinier FSM automatically generates that cycle work, keeps preventive maintenance on schedule with guided mobile workflows, and builds the record at the point of work, not after.

Automated compliance reporting
Naturgy
Auditable digital platform
ESVAL

Cycle-based work generation and scheduling for sampling, inspection and preventive maintenance programs, with low-code configuration matched to your testing and asset standards.

Priority dispatch that re-optimizes the day as soon as a blockage or overflow event occurs, without the rest of the schedule falling apart.

Certification-aware assignment with mandatory evidence capture: photos, readings, signatures, before a job can close.

Completion data captured in the field and fed straight into your compliance, asset and regulatory reporting systems.

Shorter leak-to-repair means less water lost.

In water utilities, leakage isn't just a cost line; it's an environmental obligation, a supply constraint in many regions, and in some a regulator's target with penalties attached. Zinier FSM helps teams minimize the gap between finding a leak and fixing it properly, and makes repair quality visible.

Increased field productivity
ESVAL

Automated job creation and prioritization from detection through to repair, with routing that gets a qualified crew on site faster.

Mobile capture of repair detail, materials used and completion evidence, configured to your repair standard by leak and asset type.

Rework and repeat-visit tracking by crew and by contractor, alongside program scheduling and backlog dashboards for mains renewal.

Safety first, from hazardous sites to lone working.

Confined space entry, trench collapse, traffic exposure, chemical handling, or lone working all present real risks for field service teams, whether employees or contractors. One skipped safety check can undo a decade of operational progress. Zinier FSM enforces safety steps on the device, rather than assuming they are followed.

Equipment certification & training
Naturgy
Rationalized contractor base
ESVAL

Permit to work is enforced with critical dependencies, so a job can't start until its prerequisites are met, backed by mandatory safety checklists and evidence capture before it can close.

Certification and competency-aware scheduling rules out dispatching an unqualified technician, with lone worker check-in built into the mobile app.

Every action has a timestamped, geolocated audit trail, ready for incident investigation, with contractor crews following the same enforced workflow.

Lower cost per property, more capacity from crews.

In water, operating cost per property faces heavier political scrutiny than in most utilities, because bills are rising to fund capital programs. That makes drive time, overtime and contractor spend harder to justify and easier to lose sight of. Zinier FSM makes that cost visible and acts on it while there's still time in the day to matter.
