Green Hippo Innovation in partnership with JinboSoft is proud to announce the launch of Version 1.0 of its GIS-based Water Distribution Analysis Software in Africa.

Built on our extensive experience in information technology and geospatial systems, this release marks the first step in our mission to deliver world-class tools for water distribution modeling and analysis. Our goal is to develop industry-leading software that empowers engineers, utilities, and planners to design and manage efficient, reliable, and sustainable water distribution networks.

GISpipe is built with a user-centric design philosophy. Its modern and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) minimizes the learning curve, allowing users to begin working productively with minimal training. Tasks such as network layout, data entry, and model execution are presented in a logical and accessible manner, significantly reducing project setup time. Whether you’re a seasoned engineer or a first-time user, GISpipe ensures a smooth and guided experience throughout.

GISpipe is optimized to handle large and complex datasets with speed and precision. By integrating GIS data directly into the modeling workflow, users can quickly validate existing infrastructure layouts, perform hydraulic and hydrologic analyses, and calibrate models using real-world data. The platform supports batch operations and high-speed simulations, making it possible to complete detailed pipe network plans and scenario analyses faster than ever, while maintaining the highest level of accuracy.

Engineers often require the ability to adjust and refine models quickly, and GISpipe delivers with a suite of advanced editing tools. Features such as undo/redo, copy and paste, pipe splitting, and point merging enable users to manipulate network geometry effortlessly. The software also includes live feedback on changes, allowing users to immediately visualize the impact of edits. After running a simulation, results such as pressure, flow, and surcharge levels can be displayed directly on the map, making it easy to assess system performance and identify issues.

GISpipe eliminates the need for external CAD or GIS software like AutoCAD, ArcView, or third-party plugins. All essential functions, from spatial data handling and network modeling to result visualization, are fully integrated into a single environment. This not only simplifies the software ecosystem but also ensures compatibility and seamless performance across the entire workflow. With GISpipe, users can manage the entire lifecycle of a water or stormwater/sewer system model, plan, design, analyse, and report, without leaving the application.
