Waste management :
SIMPLICITI provides the digital platform GEORED for managing waste collections as well as the associated equipment on collection vehicles. This solution allows:
• the traceability of services,
• the optimization of waste flow management
• the optimization of collection tours.
It allows easy monitoring of waste collection operations in the field by offering a mobile or tablet application
 
Our innovation capacity combined with our expertise allows us to offer customized and avant-garde solutions for sustainable cities like CITI’ID (One of 1000+ solutions elected by Solar Impulse Foundation), which assures traceability of collected bins or new functionalities of waste recognition to detect dangerous or forbidden objects in real time.
 
Water management:
SIMPLICITI and GreenCityzen conceive and implement innovative solutions to digitalize the operation of water networks with applications in 3 main areas.
• Sanitation and rainwater networks: our customers are the network operators.
• Irrigation of green spaces: our clients are the municipalities.
• Access to drinking water: our clients are NGOs.
 
These solutions generate knowledge about networks from connected sensors and business applications, with main benefits:
1. Improve performance and operating efficiency
2. Preserve the resource: often water savings (e.g. 50 to 70% for intelligent watering)
3. Reduce the environmental footprint: less carbon footprint (shorter intervention routes: 40%), less waste released into the natural environment (waste from the rainwater network or discharge from the sanitation network)
 
The combination of SIMPLICITI products and custom-made support services are the ingredients of successful digitalization projects realized with many customers in Europe, overseas territories and Africa.
