Weathering the Storm: Aussie Innovators Cleaning Up the Mess

The ongoing battles against climate change and water pollution are no secret. With recent reports revealing alarming levels of “forever chemicals” in Australian tap water, the need for innovative solutions has never been more urgent. It’s a storm we can’t ignore, and thankfully, some Aussie companies are stepping up to the challenge.

Take Billi, for example. For over 30 years, they’ve been pioneering instant filtered boiling and chilled water systems. Their products, proudly Australian-made, have set new standards for functionality, performance, and sustainability. In a world where single-use plastics are wreaking havoc, Billi’s solutions are a breath of fresh air.

Responding to Water Safety in Australia

Sometimes, we literally need to clean up our act. As a nation, we have to be resilient and quick to respond to scares like these. And for that, we have a secret power: people who care and do the hard work. Companies like Billi are leading the way.

Forever chemicals aren’t the only things that can mess with our water. Take the Legionella scare at 55 St Georges Terrace in Perth, for example. When a routine test revealed contamination, Billi jumped in, removing the contaminated unit and installing their filter systems. These systems, designed to be up to 99.99% effective against pathogens, were installed in 21 units throughout the building. This proactive approach didn’t just solve the immediate problem; it set a new standard for water safety in commercial buildings in Perth.

Billi’s response to the water quality crisis is a testament to their commitment to health and sustainability. Their systems have actively transformed hygiene standards from commercial offices to hospitals. By installing these advanced water purification systems, Billi is tackling water pollution and setting new benchmarks for water safety.

Billi’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond water purification. Their filtered water systems also play a crucial role in reducing single-use plastic waste. Australians spend millions on bottled water annually, contributing to vast streams of garbage. By offering high-quality filtered water systems, Billi helps reduce this environmental footprint while providing healthier hydration options.

A Door Opening to the Construction Sector

As the world moves towards net-zero emissions, the construction industry is adapting. Integrating advanced systems into building designs is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity. Sustainable building frameworks like Net-Zero and Passive House are becoming the standard, and Billi’s products fit seamlessly into this eco-friendly trend.

Like Billi, suppliers of advanced equipment can tap into opportunities in Net Zero construction and even in emergency responses, like the Legionella contamination incident.

The process of creating and fitting elaborate goods into state-of-the-art buildings is complex. It requires precise timing and coordination, from sourcing materials to managing vendor costs and ensuring the right people are available for installation. One small oversight can erode your profit margins.

Cracking the Profitability Code

Making a profit as a construction supplier is as hard as cracking a safe. You need to be sensitive to minor changes across all areas of the business. Manual processes and reporting can lead to inaccuracies, making it challenging to monitor sales, inventory, project progress, and profitability effectively.

We’ve had the privilege of working closely with Billi, helping them simplify and centralise their operations. By investing in technology for their teams, managing vendors, and servicing their customers better, Billi has seen significant savings. Accurate data has been the key to their success, enabling them to forecast sales, manage inventory, and deploy staff efficiently.

From custom KPIs for unique projects to comprehensive financial reports, Billi is on track for profit. Their commitment to reducing waste and enhancing health through innovation is a model for other companies.
