HydroPoint

HydroPoint was founded in 2002 by entrepreneurs Chris Spain, Peter Carlson, and Chris Manchuck, who shifted from enterprise software to tackling inefficiencies in the “last mile” of water use. The company focuses on helping organizations manage water more intelligently by combining cloud-based software, data analytics, real-time monitoring, and automation to reduce waste, cost, and risk across irrigation and building systems. Its solutions, including WeatherTRAK, Baseline, and WaterCompass, enable customers to detect leaks, optimize irrigation, and manage water-intensive assets like cooling towers. In 2016, HydroPoint expanded through the acquisition of Baseline Systems and the launch of WaterCompass, extending its reach beyond irrigation into full-facility water intelligence. Collectively, these technologies have delivered billions of gallons in verified water savings, substantial cost reductions, and meaningful carbon emissions reductions for commercial properties across sectors such as multifamily, office, retail, and hospitality.
