New Zealand enterprise data management company, WaterOutlook, has launched ScheduleHub a compliance scheduling platform.
The first of its kind, ScheduleHub enables water authorities and other highly regulated entities to turn complex regulatory obligations into structured, rules-driven schedules, all accessible from a single calendar console.
It is designed for organisations in regulated sectors that carry recurring compliance obligations: water quality testing, environmental monitoring, equipment calibration, and regulatory report submissions.
The compliance conundrum
WaterOutlook CEO, Peter Johnson, said ScheduleHub addressed a problem most regulated businesses knew well.
“Most organisations manage their compliance programme across a mix of spreadsheets, shared calendars, and individuals’ memory. That works until someone leaves, a deadline shifts, or a task slips. ScheduleHub replaces that patchwork with a system built around the specific timing rules each obligation carries.
“Regulatory compliance, at its heart, is about keeping the community safe, especially when it comes to testing a community’s drinking water. ScheduleHub gives managers confidence that planned activities meet the required compliance threshold.”
How it works
The platform works in three steps. Users define an activity, the tasks it involves, the frequency, and the rules that govern its timing. ScheduleHub schedules the activity within those rules, automatically if required. The result sits in a shared calendar that gives the whole team visibility of what is due and when.
If a scheduled activity falls outside its required timing rules, the system flags it. The compliance manager sees the issue before a deadline is missed.
“This is not a reminder system. Nor is it a generic task manager. It is a platform built around the specific cadence of compliance work such as the timing rules, the frequencies, the windows within which things have to happen.
“Compliance software is not a new category, but what differentiates ScheduleHub from traditional enterprise compliance platforms is the orientation: other compliance platforms manage the rules; ScheduleHub manages the work.”
Data management pedigree
To develop ScheduleHub, WaterOutlook drew on its experience in managing water data for councils and operators across New Zealand and Australia for the last 15 years. The company stores and secures and manages at audit-grade the data for the majority of New Zealand’s water authorities. It monitors over 12,000 plants and has captured and stories more than 1 million manual entry lab and data parameters and more than 85 billion data points. Altogether it holds more than 170 billion SCADA data points.
The scheduling logic in the product draws directly on that operational experience.
Timing
The platform launches as New Zealand’s water management sector enters a period of significant change, with many authorities merging compliance programmes from multiple councils into new entities. ScheduleHub gives those organisations a single platform to build their compliance programme on.
