About Preventos Informatics

From a consulting practice to a SaaS company — built for the network's real complexity

Preventos Informatics Oy was founded in 2018 in Finland to bring data-driven decision-making to wastewater and stormwater networks. What started as project consulting evolved into a cloud-native platform — Preventos Hero — in daily production use across Finland, with public references including Vaasan Vesi, Kuopion Vesi, and Kuopion kaupunki.

Our story

A SaaS company with field-engineering DNA

Preventos Informatics Oy was founded in 2018 to bring data-driven decision-making to wastewater and stormwater networks. The early work was project consulting — leak detection campaigns, flow measurement studies, hydraulic modelling — for a small group of Finnish water utilities.

Through customer demand, that consulting practice evolved into a SaaS platform. The same analytical methods that we ran by hand on customer datasets became Preventos Hero, a cloud-native application that integrates IoT loggers, SCADA, NIS, and weather feeds into one environment, then turns the combined data into data-quality-scored, weather-corrected I/I analytics.

Today Hero serves Finnish water utilities in daily production use — public references include Vaasan Vesi, Kuopion Vesi, and Kuopion kaupunki — with real-time monitoring, catchment-level I/I analytics, and cross-site comparison. The next chapter is an asset-management optimization module — built on the US-EPA 10-step procedure, currently in pilot, and already integrated with the network condition metrics Hero produces.

The team operates from Finland, builds on field-engineering experience, and partners with leading hardware vendors and meteorological data providers. We're a small, focused company — and we intend to stay that way as we expand from Finland into the broader Nordic and European water sector.

How we work

Three commitments that shape every customer engagement

The values below aren't aspirational — they're observable in how we run a deployment. If a customer doesn't see them on the ground, we're not doing our job.

Methodology

Integrate first, analyse second

Analytics on top of fragmented data sources is a vanity exercise. We do the unglamorous integration work — IoT, SCADA, NIS, weather feeds — before we ask the dashboard a single question.

Output

Defensible numbers, not vanity dashboards

Every I/I number we surface is data-quality-scored and weather-corrected. The numbers our customers take to a regulator, an asset committee, or a budget meeting hold up to scrutiny.

Track record

Real customers, real data, real production

Hero isn't a demo. It's running every day across Finnish water utilities — Vaasan Vesi, Kuopion Vesi, Kuopion kaupunki and others — on real network data, with the same release cadence and the same analytical engine for everyone.
