Control your water usage in a smart and cool way!
Water is a precious resource
Home
Despite campaigns, the message to conserve falls between the cracks. To get in the habit, the message needs to be on site, like when mom told you to turn off the tap while brushing your teeth! Having a clear idea of how much water you are wasting when taking a bath, doing the dishes, or watering the lawn is vital. Conserving is such a powerful habit, but knowing how to start can be the problem! Driblet is an easy way to get started. Save water and money!
Condos and Apartments
The common complaint of tenants is that water bills are split in equal parts, even though each has a different consumption level. This may cause problems between neighbors, or even lead to lease cancels. The fair way to manage this situation is to charge for what is spent. Having a good relationship with tenants is very important for the continuity of the contracts or good reviews of your properties.
Student Housing
Managers of student housing need a clear picture of the expenses they have in order to manage their collection. Having proof of the consumption makes it easier to charge each individual for what he or she consumed. Having the information in real-time can let students make smart choices over consumption and lower bills.
Remote Location
Non-profit organizations, or farmers with the need to monitor a well, know that it’s a burden to be going out there for readings, to detect leaks, or knowing if any kind of illicit activity is going on their property. Driblet is your feet on the ground!
Governments
Information is power. To have a real impact in water management innovation, there needs to be control of the water consumption variables at stake in order to manage them efficiently. Big Data empowers decision makers for smarter, more realistic budgets. In the past, this efforts have been costly. Nowadays, new technologies, such as the internet of things, have made this task easier and more cost-effective for urban planners.

The Driblet Story: Help Us Make the Dream Possible
In 1998, fresh out of college and working for an electronics company, our CEO Rodolfo created an out-of-the-house smart water meter for one of Mexico's biggest water meter distributors. The product didn't see the light due to federal regulations and lengthy litigations.
Fifteen years later, now being a Dad of three kids, the idea came back to him when he had to strive every morning knocking on the bathroom's door due to his kids’ long showers. This made him think that there should be an easier way for everyone. Present technologies have made much easier to create connected hardware devices, and riding the Internet of Things wave, Driblet was born.
The first tests proved the theory! His kids were so engaged in the competition and wanted to see their numbers go down that their habits started to change. Peace came back to his home and as a bonus, the water and gas bills went down.
Today, we benefit from the internet of things using new components, strategies, and new IP to create a prototype that won the Angelhack’s Spring 2013 Edition in Monterrey, Mexico.
