Who it’s for

Built for utility-led backflow programs with multiple external actors.

The primary buyer is the utility team that owns compliance, reporting, and public health risk. The product is stronger because certified testers, service providers, and customers can still work in the same system through scoped workflows.

Primary buyer

Best fit for utilities that need stronger internal control and cleaner external participation.

BackflowCore.ai is designed for utility leaders who need registry accuracy, submission control, compliance visibility, and a cleaner way to coordinate with external actors.

  • When the utility needs the canonical property and device record instead of spreadsheets, inboxes, and hand-built exports.
  • When testers need approval, credential tracking, kit gating, and faster submission paths than paper or email.
  • When service providers need company-scoped workflows without seeing tenant-wide data.
  • When customers need limited visibility into their own property and compliance status without becoming internal users.

Buy with the utility lens

Lead the evaluation with program visibility, compliance operations, map context, queues, and reporting rather than with a single field form.

Use scoped external access as a strength

The product gets more useful when testers, providers, and customers can act inside the workflow without weakening internal control.

Keep the story grounded

Current product depth is strongest in registry, readiness, submissions, compliance operations, dashboards, map, portals, and hazard follow-up support.

Operating roles

Four distinct roles, one authoritative program record.

Each role sees a different operating surface, but the utility remains in control of the canonical backflow record and the compliance story attached to it.

Internal

Utility leaders and compliance staff

Own the registry, approvals, review queues, dashboards, map workflows, communications traceability, and reporting.

External

Certified testers

Register publicly, maintain credentials, confirm readiness, submit dynamic forms, and track their own work.

External

Service provider admins

Manage tester rosters, provider-scoped submissions, and provider-owned kit workflows without tenant-wide access.

External

Customers and property owners

Claim properties, view status and history, and complete limited self-service tasks through customer-scoped workflows.

Why multi-actor programs fit

The product is strongest when coordination is the hard part.

If the program pressure comes from handoffs between internal staff, external testers, service providers, and customers, BackflowCore.ai becomes more valuable because the utility does not have to rebuild that chain manually.

  • Registry, readiness, and submissions all point back to the same property and device record.
  • Provider and customer access can be enabled without handing out full admin visibility.
  • Dashboards, queues, reports, and communication traceability give program leaders the oversight layer they actually need.
Current

Scoped portals

Separate operating views for testers, provider admins, and customers.

Current

Queue-based control

Approvals, reviews, notices, and follow-up stay with utility staff.

Current

Shared record integrity

Every actor works around the same property and device history.

Expanding

Deeper enforcement automation

Advanced penalty and lock-off flows remain expansion work, not the headline claim.

Role-based walkthrough

Start the demo from the role that carries the program pressure.

Most utility teams get the clearest evaluation by starting with the internal control view, then testing the external workflow they need most: tester, provider, or customer.

Suggested starts

Lead with the utility story.

  • Utility leaders should start with dashboards, registry quality, review queues, and communications traceability.
  • Tester-heavy programs should move next into readiness, kits, submissions, and portal flows.
  • Customer-service pressure should validate property claim, status, and limited self-service workflows.
