Parkey — Smart Parking
Parkey, our own smart parking application, lets citizens start, extend and pay for street parking directly from their phone, paired with a municipal controller interface for real-time enforcement by license plate.
Municipal Lighting Project
Illustrative example, not a named client. Hydatis has also delivered remote, zone-by-zone control of public lighting for a municipal client, with real-time monitoring and measured energy savings.
What We Do for Smart Cities
- Urban IoT platforms: sensor networks for parking, lighting, waste collection and traffic monitoring
- Municipal management platforms: dashboards for city services, permits and citizen requests
- Urban data integration: consolidating sensor, GIS and operational data into a single view
- Staff augmentation with IoT and full-stack engineers embedded in your municipal IT team
- Mobile citizen-facing apps, such as Parkey, paired with back-office control interfaces
- Predictive maintenance for public infrastructure: lighting, water networks and waste equipment
Our Know-How
Hydatis combines IoT hardware integration, mobile app development and Big Data engineering to help municipalities and public agencies turn scattered urban data into actionable services. Our engineers, working nearshore from Tunisia in your time zone, extend your technical teams to build, deploy and maintain smart city platforms without the delay and cost of local hiring.
Why Hydatis for Smart City Projects
- Proven delivery of production smart city solutions, including Parkey and municipal lighting control
- Dedicated IoT, mobile and data engineers available through staff augmentation or fixed-scope projects
- Nearshore delivery from Tunisia: same time zone as Europe, French- and English-speaking teams
- End-to-end capability, from hardware integration to mobile apps, dashboards and data platforms
- Flexible engagement: reinforce your in-house team or hand us a full project scope
Business Challenges
Municipalities and public agencies often manage urban services — lighting, parking, waste, water — through disconnected legacy systems and manual processes, with little real-time visibility. Deploying IoT sensors and mobile citizen services requires specialized skills in embedded systems, mobile development and data platforms that are hard to find and expensive to hire locally, especially for time-bound public sector projects.
Our Approach
- Assessment of urban services, existing systems and priority use cases
- Architecture design covering sensors, connectivity, data platform and mobile/web interfaces
- Agile development with dedicated or augmented teams, integrated into your governance
- Deployment, monitoring and measurement of operational gains such as energy savings and response time
- Ongoing maintenance and evolution of the platform
FAQ
Can Hydatis integrate with our existing municipal IT systems?
Yes, our platforms are built to integrate with existing GIS, ERP and citizen relationship management systems via APIs.
Do you provide the IoT hardware as well as the software?
We work with hardware partners and integrate sensors and controllers; our core expertise is the software, data and mobile layer.
Can we start with a pilot before a citywide rollout?
Yes, most smart city engagements start with a pilot zone or a single use case before scaling.
