PTDevice Portal Features
One of the key factors allowing some of our water delivery companies to stay ahead of their competitors is the implementation of the PTLevel Delivery Management Portal.
This advanced application allows water delivery businesses to meticulously plan deliveries which prevents wasteful trips and ensures a focused effort on averting water outages for their customers.
By leveraging data analytics and real-time monitoring, companies can optimize routes, plan staffing effectively, and respond promptly to changing demands.
Sorting columns by “Current Level” or “Address” (etc) makes delivery planning a breeze, especially for splitting deliveries between 2 or more customers.
With the Device Management account, water delivery companies have the ability to add private notes to each client account they have permission to work with. Their client’s won’t be able to see the notes but the water company can use them to organize and keep track of information related to each client.
The free Device Management Account allows water delivery businesses have the ability to setup their own Device Manager Alerts with their client’s devices. The client and the water delivery company can each have their own alerts on the same device! With the free account, there are 2 free alerts points per device; for example an SMS alert at 20% and an email alert at 90%. These alerts points send notifications when the level goes above and below the threshold. (Read about the Premium Account here for information on unlimited alerts).
Order the list by client name, address, phone number, status, etc! Or, log into the device manager account and view a map centered on the main area of the clients managed. The pins that show are the client locations based on what is entered into their account profiles. Select the pin to see the related devices. The pin colors also represent the status of the devices in those client accounts (full, low, and empty statuses).
Explore other PTLevel Device Management Features such as White Labelling, creating customer accounts, and then calibrating customer devices. Also view permission levels (viewing access, editing access, adding devices access), becoming a wholesaler, and more! Re-selling and installing PTLevel’s are a great way to add another revenue stream for water delivery businesses.

How do I grow my Water Delivery Business?
Take a look at your current market and expand into more areas. Bulk water hauling is needed at rural homes for cisterns, pools and wells. Also look at expanding into business deliveries such as construction sites for water use or dust control. Reach out to local campgrounds.
Not only should you provide good and safe water, you are required to! Drinking water must be obtained from a supply that complies with the requirements of Ontario Drinking – Water Quality Standards (or other standards in your region).
Use the free PTDevices Portal for Water Delivery Businesses. Know how much liquid is left in your customer tanks, plan your deliveries well, get alerted when the customer wants you to deliver, make confidential notes on customers, and put in your address so new customers can find you.
One of the biggest challenges to growing a bulk water hauling business is keeping good truck drivers. Recruiting and keeping good employees is not complicated; pay your employees fairly, treat them fairly, offer work-life balance opportunities as you can, listen to them, and recognize their successes.
You already have the clientele, so see what other related well and cistern services you can provide them. For example, become knowledgeable about cistern maintenance or inspection.
Studies show it can cost 5 to 25 times more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing customer.
Offer weekend deliveries or expand your delivery zones to grow your market base.
