60 DAYS - €4,900

ELECTRICITY, WATER, GAS, HEAT.

ONE PLATFORM, ONE API, REAL-TIME COST CONTROL.

problem

Most Smart City projects try to solve everything at once. which usually means nothing moves.

Common symptoms  

Data lives in separate departments

Everyone swears they’ll “synchronize later.” 

They won’t.

Dashboards multiply faster than insights

The city has screenshots, not decisions.

Procurement grows to 300+ pages

Because if it's thicker, it must be smarter, right?

Everyone waits for “Phase 2” to start  

Spoiler: Phase 2 rarely starts.

Cities don’t need “bigger platforms.” They need one working data flow to build on.

solution

 We start with one utility (electricity, water, gas, or heat) - around 100 metering points - because this gives you 80% of value in 60 days with minimal cost and no risk.
HOW WE APPROACH THIS

(simple and a bit refreshing)

We standardize sensor data models and integrate 3–5 sensor types into a unified IoT operational data layer.

We connect it using:

  • ETSI NGSI-LD Smart Data Models.
  • The Data Catalog layer (already part of Vela Context Data Hub).
  • Your existing systems and IT infrastructure.

No disruption, no platform migration, and no “strategic masterplan alignment committees”. 

Once the first dataset is flowing → transparency, dashboards, and real decisions become possible.

Then we expand - only if it’s worth it.


What You Get (in 60 Days)
 
  • A working City Data Layer on the ETSI NGSI-LD open standard.
  • At least one unified utility dataset.
  • Dashboards that matter (not 40 tabs).
  • Open APIs for future integrations.
  • Documentation your IT department will actually like.
THIS IS YOUR OPERATIONAL STARTING POINT, NOT A PILOT.

 

Who This Is For ​
 

Cities (10K-500K residents) that want measurable improvements, EU compliance, and smart sequencing - not big-bang transformation.

If that sounds like your city → we’re aligned already.
