## Integration overview
UMA integrates seamlessly with the **Quandify CubicMeter,** a smart water monitoring and leak detection system designed for commercial and residential buildings. This integration allows organisations to gain **real-time insights into water usage** while proactively protecting against costly leaks and water damage.
#### **How the integration works**
The Quandify CubicMeter measures water consumption with high accuracy and continuously monitors for unusual flow patterns that may indicate leaks. Through UMA’s IoT platform:
* **Live data ingestion**: Water usage and system alerts are transmitted from the CubicMeter via its IoT connection into UMA’s central data pipeline.
* **Unified analytics**: Usage data is normalised and stored alongside other building metrics—such as occupancy, environmental conditions, and energy consumption—enabling cross-domain insights.
* **Alerts & automations**: UMA can trigger instant notifications when leak events or abnormal consumption are detected, and can automate actions such as shutting off connected water valves.
#### **Key benefits of the integration**
* **Preventative maintenance**: Early leak detection helps avoid structural damage and reduces insurance risks.
* **Sustainability reporting**: Water consumption data supports ESG goals, regulatory compliance, and sustainability certifications.
* **Operational efficiency**: Combine occupancy and water usage analytics to optimise plumbing infrastructure and identify wastage.
* **Centralised monitoring**: Manage water usage for multiple sites from UMA’s single-pane dashboard.
#### **Use cases**
* Office buildings aiming to reduce utility costs and environmental footprint.
* Hotels or residential complexes looking to detect leaks in real time and avoid service interruptions.
* Industrial facilities where water usage patterns are tied to production cycles.
With UMA’s Quandify CubicMeter integration, water usage becomes **measurable, manageable, and sustainable**—helping organisations protect their assets while meeting sustainability objectives.
