## About the product

HYDRA is a situational awareness SaaS platform for organisations managing operational sustainability and risk across sectors such as energy, water, property, security, infrastructure, conservation, and workforce operations.

It helps teams capture and unify disparate field and system data, then turns it into usable insights and narratives for faster decisions:

- **Instant data creation and capture** from **mobile**, **IoT sensors**, **systems**, **cameras**, **drones**, and **WhatsApp chats** (including voice notes, photos, and text)
- **AI-driven smart integration** using an aggregator and **graph-based ontologies** to connect siloed data streams into a cohesive, queryable story
- **Proactive issue detection and situational awareness** that supports **real-time monitoring**, **historical analysis**, and **future prediction**, with visual reporting designed for collaboration
- **Data storytelling** that presents operational updates in a **social media-style** interface, making it easier to share insights and coordinate action across teams

Available on **Web**.

It is built for **B2B organisations** that need non-technical teams (from strategic to operational roles) to collaborate on energy and water management, property operations, security and risk intelligence, workforce performance, and conservation monitoring.

Notable in the South African market, it is developed by The Awareness Company (founded in **2018**), has raised **$1.6 million** in seed funding, and is referenced as being used by organisations including **Eskom**, **Old Mutual**, and **De Beers Group**, with conservation deployments cited as helping protect **over 10,000 rhinos**.
