History of Smartvatten

Smartvatten was founded in 2013 to bring smart savings and peace of mind to the housing boards and managers of housing companies. While our original focus was on producing energy certificates, we soon noticed that excessive water consumption was a critical issue for many of our customers. Based on that insight, we revised our focus and offering to provide water-saving services to our customers.

As time progressed, it wasn’t long before we realised that the water consumption monitoring of housing properties was in a severe state. Infrequent and manual consumption monitoring was costing our customers up to tens of thousands of euros. Since none of the existing monitoring solutions were providing the answers, we decided to develop our own system.

The demand for our remote water consumption monitoring service was greater than we had expected. Encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers, we further refined the service and expanded our range of services to also include the remote monitoring of district heating and electricity.

Today, we are a rapidly expanding SaaS (Software as a Service) enterprise with over 40 employees. Our commercial activities are quickly becoming global. In addition to our customers in Finland, we have customers in over a dozen nations, including Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany, where we have founded subsidiary companies. Our most distant remote monitoring sites are located in Nairobi in Kenya and Tel Aviv in Israel.

While a lot has changed since we founded Envera in 2013, one thing has stayed the same: we owe every bit of our success to our fantastic team. We will continue to do everything in our power to ensure that our amazing culture continues to grow and we can continue to provide customers with solutions and outstanding service.

Comprehensive benefits

We know from experience that a good workplace is made of a wide range of first-class coworkers and the appeal of work that provides pleasant and motivating challenges. We do indeed value cultural and sports vouchers, but here at Enerva, we have invested more into competitive salaries and teamwork. All mandatory matters, such as occupational health care and equality are already in order by default, not by benefit status.

A few workday flow elements at Smartvatten include…

• Breakfast: We begin our working week by having breakfast together – each coworker taking it in turns to organise.
• Tools: The tools required for your job are made fully accessible to you. We invest in the fluency of tasks, so we ensure we only use modern and up-to-date software.
• Gym: We encourage our employees to keep fit. Every working week has time that is jointly agreed for keeping fit, and a number of our office locations have state-of-the-art gyms free for employees to use.
• Remote working opportunity and flexible working hours: Many tasks do not require you to sit in the office all day. Marianne did Customer Success tasks while bathing in Spanish sunshine for a few weeks, while customer service representative Greta decided to extend her stay in Spain while continuing to work remotely. If you want, you can make your working times flexible at both ends, thereby enabling you to consolidate working life with your free time.
• Skill and goals of making great achievements: WhatsApp starts to sing when successes are made and we regularly all convene to give and receive updates, while taking joint activities to a new level. There are dozens of exciting activities we have already experienced together, from archery to stand up paddle boarding, hot yoga and bubble football in destinations such as Kirkkonummi, Nice and Barcelona.
