The project has been developed in a city with unique insular, economic and social characteristics,
which pose very important challenges in terms of water management, mobility, tourism, employment
and economic development, and has become a reference for island and tourist cities and territories.

Minsait's smart management solutions provide an integrated and transversal vision of the city,
bringing together a large amount of data generated from different sources to make Las Palmas a
benchmark in tourism and the environment, and to improve the quality of life of its citizens daily.
These will achieve benefits such as savings in water risk, optimization of waste collection routes,
management of parking spaces, intelligent payment of public transport or management of the
fleet of all municipal services, and better management of the Las Canteras beach.

More specifically, the impacts of this project derive from the efficiencies generated in multiple
services. According to company estimates, it is possible to achieve savings of more than 35 per
cent in water consumption thanks to the cross-referencing of data with the environmental and
meteorological service; or to reduce by at least half the time spent by drivers in the search for
parking.
