Case Study: Intelligent Water Networks achieves streamlined, automated risk reporting and real-time board oversight with Qlik

Data Can Transform the Water Industry, and It’s in Reach for Even the Smallest Operator

Intelligent Water Networks (IWN) is a not‑for‑profit that trials technology for 15 Victorian water corporations and TasWater to drive efficiency and better customer outcomes. IWN’s board struggled with a cumbersome, 10‑page, paper‑based risk report that was time-consuming to produce and hard for busy executives to digest—so the organisation needed a simpler, scalable way to present high‑level risks to the board while giving program managers more detailed insights.

Working with Cast Solutions, IWN replaced the manual process with Qlik Sense dashboards, moving first from a one‑page Excel summary to an automated, iterative dashboard tailored to board and leadership needs. The result: near real‑time, role‑appropriate views that speed alerts and decision‑making, improve reporting efficiency, and offer a scalable platform that small and large water corporations can grow into.
