Value delivered
Mueller Water Products specializes in water distribution, infrastructure and mechanical space, creating gate valves, fire hydrants, pressure control and monitoring pumps, and repair clamps. In the last 5–7 years, we’ve jumped into the software space to provide the ability to monitor networks’ health, execute billing functions, and allow customers to collect meter readings. Thus we began our partnership with Svitla Systems as they helped us identify a broad and impressive pool of qualified UX professionals we can work with. So far, Svitla has done an excellent job, and we’re very happy with the associate we hired.
