Water is arguably the most important resource in the world and yet the industry is notoriously slow at innovating and adopting new technologies that allow them to automate endless hours of non-productive admin work from skilled workers.  The cost of water is rising as an aging workforce is unable to adapt and multi-million dollar infrastructure decisions are being made without the best data. Our mission is to make water better, and it starts with the professionals who make water accessible. So we developed Klir, the first cloud based SaaS ERP made specifically by water experts for water utilities. It’s designed to reduce the cost of administration so the experts can dedicate their precious time to solving a critical problem for our species.

Founded in Dublin, Ireland in 2018 with offices in Canada and US, Klir is one of the fastest growing, profitable SaaS companies in the water industry and is venture backed by some of the highest profile and most reputable funds including Insight Partners, Bowery Capital & Spider Capital.
