About Droople
Helping the world value every drop of water
Droople is a Swiss B Corp. We make sensors and software that show how water is used in buildings, so people can stop wasting it.
Our story
From a smart tap to the Water Intelligence Platform
Ramzi Bouzerda founded Droople in 2018 with one idea: a connected tap could save millions of litres of water. The company started at EPFL’s La Forge incubator and still runs research with the school.
Since 2021 Droople has raised CHF 5.5 million in equity in three rounds (2021, 2022 and 2024), plus a CHF 500,000 grant from the Foundation for Technological Innovation (FIT). The team works from Puidoux, where it has a showroom. Today its four apps are used by facility managers, property owners, insurers and water-treatment companies on five continents.

FAQ
Questions we often get
What drives Droople?
Helping people use less water. Our sensors and apps show where water goes, warn when something is wrong and tell teams when to service equipment.
Where does the name come from?
A mix of “drop”, “Google” and “Apple”: data, good products and care for every drop.
What do the sensors measure?
Water volume and flow rate, number and duration of uses, water temperature, water pressure, CO₂ or gas pressure on dispensers, and conductivity (water quality after treatment). For technicians, each sensor also reports its battery voltage and the connectivity of its gateway.
Do you monitor more than water?
Yes: CO₂ bottle pressure on sparkling water machines, water quality after treatment, and Legionella risk from water that sits still.
