Smart city solutionsfor companies & institutions

The platform that runs seven German cities works just as well on your site: hospital campus, university, zoo, housing estate or business park. Sensors, dashboards and automations — GDPR-compliant, from Germany.

What are smart city solutions for companies?

Smart city solutions for companies bring city-proven IoT technology to private sites: sensors measure fill levels, parking occupancy, green spaces, noise or water levels across your grounds, and a central data platform turns them into live maps, reports and automations. The focus is outdoor operations and site management — not building automation.

Proven in city operations — ready for your site

urbanOS runs in production in Neuss, Dormagen, Hürth, Dülmen, Senden, Lüdinghausen and Nordkirchen. The same platform, the same sensors and the same apps are open to operators of large sites.

  • GDPR-compliant — all data stays in Germany
  • ISO-certified, developed by dataMatters in Cologne
  • Live in days: LoRaWAN roaming without your own gateways

Hospitals & clinic campuses

Visitor and staff parking in real time, waste containers at the service yard, indoor air quality in waiting areas, tree inspection across the grounds: urbanOS brings a clinic campus's outdoor operations onto one dashboard — no cameras, no personal data.

Matching apps

Zoos & leisure parks

Where are visitor flows building up, which bins along the paths are overflowing, which tree needs water? Radio sensors count visitors anonymously, report fill levels along the routes and monitor the tree population — for safe paths and relaxed peak days.

Matching apps

Universities & corporate campuses

Parking, waste, noise during events and CO₂ traffic lights in meeting and seminar rooms: a smart campus runs its grounds with the same apps as a city — and NOVA, the AI assistant, answers questions about all of your sensor data.

Matching apps

Housing companies & neighbourhoods

Waste collection points without overflows, digital tree inspection for duty-of-care compliance, smart gullies against heavy-rain damage, parking at a glance: urbanOS complements your submetering with everything happening outdoors in the neighbourhood.

Matching apps

Industrial & business parks

Compactor fill levels, truck parking areas, drainage of sealed surfaces and noise compliance: urbanOS monitors your site's infrastructure around the clock and flags action before it gets expensive.

Matching apps

Municipal utilities & public companies

Monetise an existing LoRaWAN network, offer ready-made IoT services to your own business customers or have custom solutions built: with urbanOS, utilities operate smart-city services for their own region — under their own brand.

Matching apps

One platform, every sensor

All applications run on the Urban Data Platform: sensor-agnostic, with open interfaces, GeoJSON/GPX export and no-code automations. Whatever doesn't exist yet, we build as a custom app on the same foundation.

How to get started

  1. Book a conversation — we look at your site and your goals together.
  2. Choose a starter setup — sensors, connectivity and dashboards arrive ready to use from a single source.
  3. Go live — first data within days, thanks to LoRaWAN roaming even without your own gateways.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need our own LoRaWAN network?

No. Thanks to LoRaWAN roaming you start without your own gateways; if needed, we add dedicated indoor or outdoor gateways to your site. Existing networks and sensors can be integrated.

Is deployment on private grounds GDPR-compliant?

Yes. The sensors measure conditions — fill levels, moisture, water levels, occupancy, anonymous frequencies — no personal data and no camera images. All data is processed in Germany.

What does it cost to get started?

A single app license starts at €249 per month; complete starter setups including sensors can be priced transparently in the cost estimator. You scale at any time — from a pilot to the whole site.

Which sensors work outdoors?

More than 20 ready-to-deploy types: fill level, soil moisture, water level, CO₂, noise, parking occupancy, people counting, weather and more — battery-powered with multi-year lifetimes, transmitting via LoRaWAN, NB-IoT or LTE.

Can urbanOS connect to our existing systems?

Yes. Open interfaces, GeoJSON/GPX export and APIs connect urbanOS to your specialist systems — from facility management to operations control. There is no vendor lock-in.
