Petaluma, Calif. — HydroPoint Data Systems, the established leader in smart water management solutions and maker of WeatherTRAK smart irrigation technology, has acquired Baseline, Inc., a Boise, Idaho-based smart irrigation provider.
Following record revenue growth for both companies in 2015 and 2016 year to date, HydroPoint’s acquisition of Baseline brings a powerful 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 widely recognized superior moisture sensors and two wire technology, are an incredible addition to our platform,” says HydroPoint’s CEO, Chris Spain. “Of course, technology is only a part of HydroPoint’s ultimate success. 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.”
Baseline’s CEO, Joe Wallace, is excited about the acquisition’s potential: “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,” he says.
