VAPAR offers a cloud-based platform that specializes in AI-powered pipeline investment planning, primarily targeting councils and utilities for effective asset management. The platform automates the condition assessment of pipeline infrastructure using CCTV footage, streamlining the inspection process for municipalities and water utilities.

VAPAR generates revenue through a subscription-based model where clients subscribe to access its pipeline inspection and condition assessment services. These transactions typically occur with utility companies or municipal councils that utilize the software suite for data analysis and reporting. The subscription plans are customized to meet the specific needs of each customer, with the core service centered around automated condition assessments derived from CCTV footage. This business model fosters long-term partnerships aimed at enhancing operational efficiencies and improving infrastructure reliability.

In December 2023, VAPAR Innovation Pty. Ltd. secured AUD 5 million in Series A funding to support its strategy for expanding into the North American market. This funding will facilitate the development of new products designed to address market-specific challenges, while also enhancing the company’s existing platform capabilities.

VAPAR's future plans include launching additional features tailored to the needs of North American clients, ensuring a comprehensive approach to pipeline asset management.
