API Development built for Water Management companies
What is API Development?
We design APIs that third-party developers and internal teams actually enjoy integrating with. For Water Management companies, this means navigating EPA water quality regulations (US), EU Water Framework Directive while shipping fast.
Who needs API Development for Water Management?
- Aging infrastructure limiting real-time monitoring
- Leak detection and water loss tracking accuracy
- Regulatory reporting for water quality compliance
- Undocumented APIs slowing partner integrations
- No versioning strategy causing breaking changes

Most API Development engagements take 6-12 weeks, depending on scope and how clear the requirements are upfront. We'll give you a firm timeline estimate after a short discovery call, not a generic range.
API Development projects with us typically range from $15,000 - $90,000, scaled to the complexity of your requirements. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises mid-project.
For api development, we typically work with Node.js, Python, FastAPI, GraphQL, chosen based on your specific scalability and integration requirements. We're not tied to a single stack and will recommend the right tools for your situation rather than our default.
A typical api development engagement includes restful or graphql api design, along with the other deliverables outlined in our proposal, such as documentation and a post-launch support window. The exact scope is tailored to your project during discovery.
Most clients come to us for api development because of undocumented apis slowing partner integrations, among other related challenges. We start every engagement by mapping your specific pain points before writing a single line of code.
We've delivered multiple water management projects addressing challenges like aging infrastructure limiting real-time monitoring. We helped a water utility cut non-revenue water loss by 17% with a leak detection monitoring platform.
For water management clients, we pay close attention to EPA water quality regulations (US), EU Water Framework Directive, building these requirements into the architecture from day one rather than retrofitting them later. We'll confirm which specific regulations apply to your business during discovery.
The most common challenges we solve for water management clients include aging infrastructure limiting real-time monitoring and leak detection and water loss tracking accuracy. We tailor our discovery process to surface the specific version of these problems your business faces.
