As per its investor center as of 13.05.2026, over 90% of its revenue is now generated from SaaS and managed services. This strategy enables scalability and high profit margins, attracting clients from major utilities in Australia and the UK. Gentrack's iceX platform adeptly manages complex billing requirements for multi-commodity utilities, a sector experiencing heightened demand due to regulatory pressures advocating for customer-centric service.
