Who We Are

Professionals who build systems that work

Baruti Technologies is a group of operational specialists dedicated to helping organisations deliver consistent, measurable services. Our platforms capture the data your teams already generate and turn it into the management intelligence you need — without replacing what already works.

Our Philosophy

Costing that serves decisions

We take a wider view of costing — not just for routine ascertainment, but to drive planning, control, and one-off management decisions. A sound costing foundation is non-negotiable. Everything else builds on it.

Our Approach

Customer-driven, bottom-up

Our platforms build service delivery from the ground up. Operational data captured at the unit level feeds directly into management dashboards — ensuring decisions reflect reality, not assumptions.

Enterprise Solutions

Purpose-built platforms for local authorities

ProMaintenance — Preventative Maintenance

Preventing failure before it happens

ProMaintenance is our computerised maintenance management system — providing the scheduling, tracking, and reporting infrastructure to move municipalities from reactive repair to proactive asset care. It also serves as the engine behind all water meter testing, maintenance programmes, record-keeping, and meter selection routines.

Time-based Maintenance

Scheduled at fixed intervals regardless of asset condition — ideal for routine inspections and servicing.

Condition-based Maintenance

Triggered by performance data or inspection results when condition indicators reach defined thresholds.

Predictive Maintenance

Uses historical failure data and trend analysis to anticipate failure before it occurs — minimising unplanned downtime.

1 — InspectAssess asset condition
2 — RecordLog in ProMaintenance
3 — SchedulePlan intervention
4 — MaintainExecute the work
5 — ReportReview KPIs & costs

Reduced Lifecycle Costs

Regular maintenance is consistently cheaper than emergency repair or full asset replacement.

Extended Asset Life

Proactive care delays replacement and maximises return on infrastructure investment.

Reliable Service Delivery

Fewer unplanned failures mean fewer service interruptions to customers and communities.

Auditable Compliance

Full maintenance records support regulatory reporting, audits, and insurance.

ProCRM — Call Logging & Citizen Relationship Management

Every call logged. Every issue resolved. Every citizen accounted for.

ProCRM is our dedicated call logging and citizen relationship management system, purpose-built for municipalities. It captures every service request, complaint, and query from citizens — creating a traceable, auditable record that links directly to field operations and management reporting.

By connecting the front-line contact centre to ProMaintenance's job card and maintenance workflows, ProCRM eliminates the gap between what citizens report and what gets actioned — giving municipalities real-time visibility of service demand and resolution performance.

1 — Log Log the call Call, walk-in, email, or web
2 — Ticket Raise a ticket Categorised & reference assigned
3 — Dispatch Send to field Job card created in ProMaintenance
4 — Close Close & report Citizen notified, KPIs updated

Citizen Profiles

Full history of interactions, requests, and resolutions per citizen account and property.

Issue Categorisation

Calls classified by service type (water, roads, electricity, waste) for accurate routing.

SLA Tracking

Configurable response and resolution time targets per issue type, with escalation alerts.

ProMaintenance Integration

Tickets automatically generate job cards — no re-keying, no lost requests between systems.

GIS-Linked Logging

Every call is geo-tagged to an address or asset for spatial analysis and hotspot identification.

Performance Dashboards

Live call volumes, resolution rates, SLA compliance, and team performance in real time.

ProMaintenance — Water Meter Management

A predictive approach to meter maintenance

"Water meters will deteriorate and fail at a rate that is predictable under normal constant conditions of usage."
  • The optimal in-service life period for meter replacement is determined to minimise revenue loss due to meter slip (under-registration).
  • Careful meter selection for specific duty conditions ensures all water passing through is registered at the desired accuracy.
  • Our team of experienced field auditors are familiar with a wide variety of water meters and possible causes for misreads — providing an on-the-ground layer of assurance.
  • ProMaintenance provides cost-effective management of the water meter inventory by means of electronic meter cards, ensuring optimal maintenance levels that can result in substantial savings in lost revenue.

Meter Details

Number, type, size, and status (installed, scrapped, repaired) for each meter.

Site Details

Present location and full site profile for every installed meter.

Test Results

Recorded test outcomes for each meter, linked to its maintenance history.

Historical Records

Full historical information per site and per meter for trend analysis.

Cost Tracking

Repair, refurbishing, testing, and replacement costs per meter type and size.

Revenue Loss

Calculated cost of water lost due to failed or inaccurate meters.

Statistical Analysis

Pertinent statistics for optimal maintenance and inventory programme management.

Meter Selection

Optimal selection guidance for the specific application and conditions required.

Water Balance

Accounting for every drop

A water balance is the systematic accounting of all water entering and leaving a distribution system. ProMaintenance enables water authorities to construct and monitor accurate water balances — a foundational requirement for any serious water loss reduction programme. By reconciling system input volumes against authorised consumption and measured losses, the water balance reveals the true extent of non-revenue water (NRW) and guides targeted intervention.

System Input Volume

Total water entering the distribution system (metered at source)

Authorised Consumption

Billed metered + billed unmetered + unbilled authorised

Water Losses (Non-Revenue Water)

Real losses + apparent losses

Revenue Water

Billed consumption — generates income

Real Losses

Pipe bursts, leakage, reservoir overflow

Apparent Losses

Meter errors, theft, data inaccuracies

Water Loss Control

Identifying, quantifying and reducing losses

Water loss is broadly classified into two categories, each requiring a distinct management response. ProMaintenance supports the identification, quantification, and reporting of both — enabling water authorities to prioritise interventions and track progress over time.

Real Losses

Physical leakage from the system

Pipe bursts and background leakage · Leakage on service connections · Reservoir and storage overflows · Losses at valves and fittings

Apparent Losses

Commercial and metering losses

Customer meter under-registration · Unauthorised consumption (theft) · Data handling and billing errors · Unbilled or unmetered accounts

How It Works

From citizen call to management clarity

1

Citizen logs a request via ProCRM

Every call, complaint, or query is captured, categorised, and assigned a reference number — across phone, walk-in, email, or web portal.

2

Job card raised in ProMaintenance

ProCRM automatically triggers a job card in ProMaintenance — field teams are dispatched with full context, no re-keying required.

3

Preventative maintenance scheduled in parallel

ProMaintenance generates and tracks scheduled maintenance tasks independently — ensuring proactive asset care runs alongside reactive response.

4

Water balance reconciled continuously

Field data, meter readings, and repair outcomes are fed back into the water balance — keeping loss calculations current and actionable.

5

Management reports surface the full picture

KPI dashboards, SLA performance, water loss analyses, and maintenance status give leadership the intelligence they need — across both platforms, in one view.
