Platform

One digital foundation for multiple city operations

SCMS is a cloud platform that brings field devices, municipal workflows and citizen services into a common environment. Each module addresses one operational need. The platform gives them shared administration, notifications, analytics and a single app.

Interface

What the municipality sees

Staff work in the SCMS backoffice with permissions matched to their role. Senior officials follow the whole city through VISION, a dashboard that combines data from every module with databases, sensors and external systems.

Architecture

Three layers, one operational picture

Assets and people in the city connect through field devices, gateways and the City App to a common platform. The platform turns that information into monitoring, events and action.

Layer 1City

The assets, services and people SCMS works with.

Vehicles
Tanks

Citizens and visitors
Layer 2Connectivity

Secure links between the field, citizens and the platform.

Platform capabilities

Shared by every module

Modules do not bring their own dashboards, notification systems or apps. They use the platform's, so every new module adds capability without adding complexity.

01

Real-time visibility

VISION shows data from every module on one dashboard, as events happen.

02

Events and notifications

Field events and staff actions become notifications, managed centrally by NOTIFIER.

03

Maps and location

Requests, assets, routes and alert zones are shown and managed on the map.

04

Reporting and history

A versatile reporting system across modules, with records of what was done and when.

05

Plain-language analysis

SCMS BRAIN answers questions about operational data and suggests more efficient alternatives.

06

Citizen channel

Every module has its own functions in the City App, which the municipality publishes under its own brand.

Platform core

Platform components

The core services every SCMS module relies on.

City dashboard
VISION

A dashboard with data from all modules, intended for senior officials. Data can come from databases, sensors and external systems.

Ask the data
BRAIN

Questions in plain language, comparisons, scenarios and suggested alternatives, starting with waste collection data.

Notifications core
NOTIFIER

The core module that manages every notification in the platform, whether defined by staff or generated by the system.

One app for citizens
City App

One app for iOS and Android in the city's own branding. Each module adds its own functions, which appear to users without an app update.

Administration
Backoffice

Management environment for staff, with granular role-based permissions and a versatile reporting system.

SCMS Marketplace

Specialised solutions, integrated as modules

The SCMS Marketplace brings specialised solutions from the SCMS ecosystem into the platform. They are not linked from the outside: they run as SCMS modules, with the same users, notifications and dashboard.

Security, data, interoperability

Serious operational infrastructure

SCMS carries data about public services and, in some modules, about citizens. It is designed accordingly.

Dedicated cloud installation

SCMS is delivered as a cloud service, installed separately for each municipality, for security, speed and scalability.

Hosting region of choice

Installed in European data centres by default, or in another region where required.

GDPR requirements

The infrastructure is designed to meet the requirements of the GDPR.

Controlled access

Granular, role-based permissions for every user. Each person sees and changes only what their role allows.

Protection of sensitive records

Where modules handle personal documents or registries, access is segmented and sensitive records are encrypted.

Open architecture

Modules communicate with each other and with external platforms through APIs, including platforms the city adopts in the future.

City App

One app, in the city's own identity

SCMS includes mobile apps for iOS and Android, distributed with the municipality's logo, colours and styling. Each installed module adds its own functions. When the municipality activates a new module, the corresponding features appear on users' phones without an app update.

Deployment

Start focused, extend over time

A municipality can start with a single module and add others as needs and budgets allow. Each addition joins the same platform, the same data and the same app, so the system grows without fragmenting.
