Fathom, a software company specializing in solutions for water utilities, recently received a major backing of investment. The investments were made by XPV Capital Corp. and Silver Lake Kraftwerk Fund LP.

The utilization of the fund will be directed towards expanding a platform, which will help utilities improve their billing costs.

According to Trevor Hill, Fathom's Chief Executive Officer, the software company, whose system assists in managing data extracted from approximately 4 million units of water meters, is expecting to add a million or two more in 2015. He reiterated that his company has the capacity to ramp up significantly, about hundreds of millions, if needed.

Fathom is currently in talks with a few of the world's biggest manufacturers of water meters so that the company can jack up its economies of scale. It will help the company to acquire more customers from the water industry.

The large investment made in Fathom will help the company to get through a few years when it makes plans to concentrate primarily on the untapped US market, as disclosed by Hill.
