Smart Territories: designing the future of territories
Digital technology is shaping the territories of the future
How do technological infrastructures make territories more intelligent and sustainable?
The concept of Smart Territories is the promise of a healthier and more sustainable urbanism and territory thanks to tailor-made digital solutions that optimise the daily missions of network managers and communities:
- Identify, exploit and share assets and data,
- Manage risks and regulations, ensure personal safety,
- Improve the operational performance of the network, automate business processes,
- Ensure the energy transition and digital transformation.
Smart cities and smart territories: the use of data for intelligent Geographic Information Systems
Coexya supports city and regional players in understanding territorial challenges and optimizing business processes associated with mobility, network asset management, land use planning and facility management.
By capitalising on our strong experience as an IT integrator, we offer real business know-how for your smart territories platforms and infrastructures: Scalable, intelligent, connected, secure and attractive
Coexya is present on all the strategic pillars of the digital transformation of territories
Our double technological expertise (GIS and Smart Data) as well as our capacity to adapt to all technical solutions allow us to set up observatories of territorial dynamics and sustainable tools for decision support, integrating 6 main fields :
- Mobility: sustainable mobility support (MaaS), route calculation, unified ticketing, accessibility, passenger information, ability to predict traffic and load in public transport, geolocation and vehicle fleet management…
- Environment: natural risk management, emission monitoring, green and blue networks, naturalist inventories, forestry, air and water quality, resource and waste management…,
- Energy: management of networks to optimise consumption, manage risks and personal safety and ensure the energy transition,
- Health: patient care: health data interoperability, care coordination and telemedicine,
- Safety: risk management, personal safety, regulatory compliance,
- Citizenship: data sharing and information exchange for a better quality of life.
Our dual IT expertise to support your smart city and territory of the future strategy
Coexya relies on its dual expertise to meet your projects;
- The geographic information system, which is one of the group’s historical areas
- Smart Data
Our objective is to understand your business in order to better support you in your digital transition, thanks to tailor-made solutions for your operational processes and decision support.
FAQ: Building a Successful Smart Territory
-
/ How can we move from siloed management to a cross-functional territorial view?
A major pain point for local authorities is data fragmentation (lighting, waste, transport, water). A successful Smart Territory strategy relies on implementing an interoperability platform capable of centralising these flows. By cross-referencing this data, you optimise infrastructure maintenance and can make decisions based on a global rather than segmented reality.
-
/ How can the Internet of Things (IoT) reduce urban operational costs?
One of the primary drivers is resource optimisation. For example, installing sensors for public lighting or waste management allows for intervention only when necessary. This drastically reduces energy consumption and logistics costs while improving the responsiveness of technical services to anomalies detected in real-time.
-
/ How do you guarantee the sovereignty and security of territorial data?
Data security is a major concern for citizens and institutions alike (GDPR). A smart territory must rely on secure architectures, often favouring sovereign Cloud or hybrid solutions. It is essential to establish clear data governance to ensure that the information collected serves only the public interest and the management of public policies.
-
/ How do you measure the actual impact of Smart City projects on citizens?
The success of a smart territory is not measured by the number of sensors, but by the improvement of the service provided. This involves using visualisation tools (Territorial Dashboards) to track concrete performance indicators (KPIs): CO2 emission reduction, smoother traffic flow, or time savings for users. Transparency regarding these indicators strengthens citizen support for the project.
-
/ How can I benefit from a local partner’s expertise across France (Paris, Lyon, Rennes, Lille, Brest, etc.)?
The “Smart City” concept is primarily about proximity and local knowledge. Coexya deploys its experts in Location Intelligence and data management from our offices in Paris, Lyon, Rennes, Lille, and Brest. This regional presence allows us to support local authorities with their specific geographical and social needs, organising co-design workshops directly with local stakeholders to build a resilient and sustainable territory.
