Shipshape adds iBasement to its growing connected device ecosystem. The partnership marks another leading manufacturer looking to Shipshape to unlock value from its connected device and grow its revenue from services.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Shipshape, a software company that helps homeowners save energy, money, and time, today announced a partnership with Grate Products LLC, the manufacturer of iBasement, to integrate their iBasement Smart Sump Pump Controller into the Shipshape platform. This partnership enables Grate Products to enhance the value of their product, iBasement and share in the service revenue created by Shipshape. At the same time, it unlocks new value for homeowners by creating much-needed interoperability, enhanced software features, and an integrated ecosystem of service providers.

It is now more important than ever to effectively monitor sump pumps and basements for homeowners as severe weather is increasingly leading to expensive damage to homes. According to the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, the average cost to remodel after a basement flood is approximately $40,000. The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology recently reported that the most immediate danger that Americans face from climate change is the worsening of extreme weather. Homeowners need new and innovative ways to save money and prevent expensive damage that would leave most Americans in a challenging financial position. According to reports, consumers are nearing a breaking point with debt hitting all-time highs as a result of rising inflation, interest rates, and cost increases on home maintenance repairs.

By integrating iBasement hardware into the Shipshape mobile app, we're creating a future where homeowners won't get surprised by basement floods that lead to massive repair costs," said Steve Andras, Founder of iBasement.
