An Analytics Layer for M3 Enterprise Software, Built for Business Decision-Makers

/PRNewswire/ -- MARS Company, a pioneer in water meter testing solutions and meter performance analytics, today introduced M3 Cloud, an optional analytics and reporting enhancement created to extend the value of the M3 platform by making meter test data simpler to review, share, and apply across utility operations.

Utilities and municipalities depend on meter testing to support accurate billing, responsible water management, customer service, and long-term meter program planning. Yet valuable test bench data is frequently examined close to the testing operation, restricting how readily managers, finance teams, and other decision-makers can leverage it to assess trends and program performance. M3 Cloud is built to bridge that divide by converting meter test data into actionable insights for those who require them.

As a connected analytics layer for M3, the platform assists utilities in gaining better visibility into testing operations, spotting meter performance trends, assessing potential revenue recovery opportunities, and enabling improved decisions on meter replacement and maintenance. M3 Cloud provides authorized decision-makers with access to meaningful reporting and analytics without needing them to be physically present at the test bench.

Designed to complement existing on-premise M3 workflows, M3 Cloud does not replace the M3 test bench environment. Instead, it maintains the value of established testing processes while offering utilities a practical method to expand access to reporting, analytics, and program-level insights. The platform supports flexible data upload, synchronization, and sharing options tailored to each customer's IT environment and operational requirements.

"Our goal was to help utilities gain more value from the meter testing data they already collect," said Dave Corey, CEO of MARS Company. "By extending the M3 platform with flexible analytics and reporting capabilities, we are providing utility leaders, meter shop teams, and decision-makers a clearer view of meter performance, testing activity, and potential revenue recovery opportunities without disrupting their existing test bench workflows. With the development of M3 Cloud, this is another step in MARS Company's commitment to helping utilities improve accuracy, efficiency, and responsible water management."

M3 Cloud builds on MARS Company's emphasis on revenue recovery, operational efficiency, and meter performance analytics. By assisting utilities in better understanding testing activity, accuracy trends, and program outcomes, the platform enables more informed discussions on meter maintenance, replacement planning, customer inquiries, and the measurable value of meter testing.

For utilities with strict IT and security requirements, M3 Cloud is designed to support customer-specific data workflows rather than a one-size-fits-all deployment model. This flexibility allows utilities to continue using the M3 workflows they know while making test data more accessible to operations, management, and other stakeholders, as appropriate.

MARS Company will showcase M3 Cloud, expected to be available later this year, at the AWWA ACE 26 Trade Show, June 22-24, 2026, in Washington, D.C., at booth #1929.
