WRM Software: Building the Technology Behind Utility Operations

Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and more severe. At the same time, the infrastructure that powers our daily lives—electric grids, water systems, and communication networks—is under increasing pressure.

For utilities, responding quickly to outages and large-scale incidents has never been more critical. That’s where WRM Software comes in.

WRM Software developed operational management platforms designed to connect field operations with centralized command systems. Their technology allows utilities to coordinate crews, track resources, and manage large-scale incidents in real time.

These tools power mission-critical workflows during storm response, outage restoration, and day-to-day infrastructure operations.

A Platform Built for Critical Infrastructure

Utilities often operate across vast geographic areas, where rapid coordination during emergencies can make the difference between prolonged outages and fast restoration.

WRM Software’s platform helps organizations:

Coordinate field crews and dispatch operations

Track equipment and operational resources

Manage large-scale storm response and outage restoration

Improve situational awareness across operations teams

By bringing operational data together into a single system, utilities gain the visibility needed to respond faster and operate more efficiently.

Key Milestones

WRM Software’s technology and impact within the utility ecosystem led to several important milestones:

Acquisition by Urbint: WRM Software was acquired by Urbint, an AI platform focused on protecting critical infrastructure and utility workers.

StormImpact Integration: Urbint strengthened its capabilities with the acquisition of StormImpact, adding advanced storm prediction and climate risk analytics.

Itron Acquisition: Urbint later announced a $325 million acquisition by Itron, a global leader in energy and smart infrastructure technology.

Together, these technologies help utilities predict risks, coordinate response, and restore services faster when extreme weather strikes.

Strengthening Infrastructure Resilience

As climate risks grow and infrastructure networks become more complex, utilities increasingly rely on advanced software platforms to manage operations and respond to emergencies.

The combined technologies from WRM Software, StormImpact, and Urbint now contribute to a broader ecosystem focused on improving infrastructure resilience and worker safety across the utility industry.
