About
Klir is an enterprise-grade water utility management platform built to digitally transform how water utilities handle compliance, water quality monitoring, and operational data. The platform covers the full spectrum of utility operations — from drinking water safety and wastewater discharge management to pretreatment permits, FOG (fats, oils, and grease) programs, and waste haulage. At its core, Klir serves as a centralized operational hub, eliminating data silos and enabling every team — IT, compliance managers, field operators, and leadership — to work from a single source of truth. Key capabilities include automated compliance tracking against regulatory limits (such as SDWA requirements), real-time alerts for exceedances, mobile field inspections, digital bench sheet data capture, and robust trend visualization. Klir's AI layer provides generative AI insights for trend analysis, administrative tasks, and reporting. Data enthusiasts can leverage Power BI or Klir's intuitive report builder, while non-technical users benefit from one-click templated dashboards. The platform integrates seamlessly with LIMS, GIS, SCADA, and billing platforms to unify operational data. Available via the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and a US-wide Cooperative Contracts Purchasing Program, Klir is trusted by leading utilities such as the Southern Nevada Water Authority and Halifax Water. Its patent-pending technology and dedicated Customer Success team make it a comprehensive solution for utilities seeking operational excellence and effortless regulatory compliance.
