OVERLAND PARK, KS - February 2, 2026 - Daupler has been named to Government Technology's GovTech 100 for 2026, marking the fifth consecutive year the company has earned a place on the annual list of companies focused on serving state and local government.
Government Technology compiles the GovTech 100 each year through data analysis, editorial review, and input from market experts, government leaders, and investors. The 2026 list points to a government technology market that has moved from experimentation to practical deployment, with recurring themes around applied AI, operational resilience, workforce constraints, and measurable return on investment under tight budgets.
Those themes track closely with what Daupler's customers face every day. Utilities and public works agencies are absorbing intense storm activity, more aging-infrastructure failures, and increasing customer expectations, all with fewer people available to answer the call. Daupler's Response Management System automates the path from first signal to crew on site: triaging inbound calls, AMI alerts, and SCADA alarms, determining severity, dispatching the right resources, and keeping customers informed throughout restoration.
"Being recognized for a fifth straight year says less about us than it does about our customers. Utilities are being asked to respond faster with fewer people, and they are proving that automating response is not a nice-to-have. It is how the work gets done now" shared John Bertrand, CEO, Daupler.
The recognition follows a year of expansion for Daupler beyond its municipal roots into investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives. The company closed a $15 million Series B led by Aqualateral in early 2025 to accelerate product development, and its platform now supports 200+ utilities across 38 U.S. states and Canada. Customers report up to a 50 percent reduction in response times and up to an 80 percent decrease in response costs.
