HydroPoint Data Systems, a smart water management solutions company and maker of WeatherTRAK smart irrigation technology, announced that it has acquired smart irrigation provider Baseline Inc., based in Boise, Idaho.
Following record revenue growth for both companies in 2015 and 2016 YTD, HydroPoint’s acquisition of Baseline brings an array of smart water management technologies to the HydroPoint 360° Smart Water Management platform and expands its geographic footprint.
Baseline will continue to operate as an independent company, and HydroPoint will invest in both the Boise operations and the Baseline product line.
“Baseline’s extensive background in managing irrigation for the world’s most complex sites, combined with their moisture sensors and two wire technology, are an incredible addition to our platform,” said HydroPoint CEO Chris Spain. “The Baseline team also brings years of experience and expertise in design and specification sales complimenting HydroPoint’s depth and proven success in channel and enterprise sales.”
Regarding HydroPoint’s go-forward strategy for the Baseline solution, Spain says, “We’ve been very impressed by Baseline’s revenue and technology momentum and agree the best strategy is to continue to invest in that momentum.”
Baseline’s CEO Joe Wallace said, “This truly shifts both organizations into a higher gear. The opportunity to share our respective technologies means all of our customers will continue to have the most advanced smart irrigation systems in the industry.”
