AUSTIN, Texas — October 22, 2024 — Shipshape, a company on a mission to make homes smart enough to take care of themselves, today announced a partnership with Wayne Pumps that allows customers to access professional monitoring services when they integrate their smart sump pumps into the Shipshape app. This partnership offers a comprehensive solution to increase home management, safety, and convenience for Wayne Pumps customers.

Wayne Pumps, a Marmon Holdings company and a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, is known for its water management solutions. Wayne Pumps’ popular Basement Guardian HALO® smart sump pump can now be paired with Shipshape’s advanced platform to provide homeowners with real-time performance monitoring, proactive maintenance alerts, and access to Shipshape’s Home Assistant Monitoring services. This collaboration brings a new level of protection, ensuring that critical systems like sump pumps are operating optimally, especially during severe weather conditions.

The integration of Shipshape’s platform with Wayne Pumps’ smart sump pumps is a major advancement in the smart home management industry as this is the first time an appliance manufacturer of this scale has partnered with a third party for an integration and monitoring support. This development follows the launch of Shipshape’s app-platform for appliance manufacturers, which provides device makers with easy-to-use developer tools and a powerful software platform to unlock new opportunities for customer engagement and aftermarket services.
