SUMS Group is celebrating 23 years in business, marking more than two decades of practical, data-driven impact across water, electricity and gas management.
Founded in 2003, SUMS has built its reputation on one core principle: give organisations accurate, real-time data so they can stop waste, cut costs and make better decisions. Since then, thousands of Australian-designed and manufactured SUMS data loggers have delivered more than 5.5 billion new business insights to customers across the country.
Today, SUMS technology monitors more than 40,000 meters. That visibility has helped, hundreds of commercial, industrial, councils, universities, schools, water utilities and their facilities management teams detect leaks early, reduce waste and cut costs. The result: hundreds of megalitres of water saved and tens of thousands of dollars returned to customers through targeted leak investigations and smarter consumption management.
SUMS continues to evolve its technology to meet growing demand for transparency and accountability. Its AI-enabled reporting tools provide faster analysis and clearer insights. The SUMS Utility Management Platform is designed for sustainability professionals, facility managers, analysts and educators who need reliable data without complexity.
Among its standout innovations is Smartpipe, a patented solution that monitors precisely when and where water is extracted from water hydrant points across Australia. Used by water carters and water utility field service teams, Smartpipe improves visibility and accountability in the field, providing previously unknown insights, real-time billing, reducing water theft and losses through unaccounted for water.
After 23 years, SUMS remains deeply committed to what it has always done best: turning raw utility data into clear, practical action that saves resources and money
