Water submetering software for the buildings you install
When a building has one main meter, everyone splits the bill the same way — and the units that waste water pay the same as the ones that do not. Submetering fixes that by measuring each unit on its own. As the installer, you put a LoRaWAN meter on every apartment or tenant, and Datakubo turns those reads into a clear, per-unit picture you can hand to the people who manage and live in the building.
Datakubo is the white-label platform layer underneath your submetering service — not a finished product you resell. You connect the meters, set your brand, and decide how to package it. Each building becomes a Community, each unit gets its own Resident login, and you manage every site you run from one place. The software is ours; the business, the brand and the client relationship are yours.
Built for many meters in one building
Submetering means dozens of meters behind a single address, and Datakubo is built for exactly that. Group every meter into one Community, assign each one to the unit it serves, and the platform keeps them organised — per-unit consumption, per-unit history, and a building-wide roll-up the Community manager can read at a glance. New meters auto-register on their first uplink, so adding a floor or a block is just more hardware, not more data entry. Each Resident sees only their own water; the Community manager sees the whole site.
Where installers use submetering
- Apartment blocks — a meter per flat so each household is billed on what it actually uses, not a flat share of the building total
- Mixed-use and commercial buildings — separate the retail units, offices and common areas onto their own meters for clean cost allocation
- Shared-well and rural communities — give every property on a private supply its own meter and make consumption fair and visible
- Caravan parks, marinas and holiday lets — meter each pitch, berth or unit and recover water costs per occupant instead of absorbing them
How AquaLinks does it
AquaLinks, an independent LoRaWAN installer in Spain, runs submetering across private shared-well communities on Datakubo — under their own brand. They put a B Meters LoRaWAN unit on each property, rolled them up into a single Community portal, and cut water waste by 75% in the first year by making every unit’s consumption visible.
What the building manager sees
The Community manager gets one view of the whole building: every metered unit, its current and historical consumption, and any open alerts — all in plain language, with no LoRaWAN settings or raw payloads to wade through. They can spot the unit driving a spike, export billing-ready consumption for the whole site in a click, and rely on configurable anomaly detection to flag continuous flow that often points to a leak. It is the overview that makes per-unit billing defensible and day-to-day management simple.
What it costs you as the installer
You run submetering for your clients on a white-label platform that starts from €49/month — a fraction of what building the same multi-tenant software in-house would cost, and nothing like the €50k+ of custom development it replaces. Pricing scales with the meters you connect, so a single building and a portfolio of sites both make sense. You set your own prices to your clients and keep the margin; Datakubo stays invisible behind your brand.
