Intelligent deployment of smart metering GIS

The geodecisional tool, developed for SIG, is designed to optimize the deployment of 280,000 smart meters in Geneva.

This tool allows intuitive filtering, saving, and exporting of data, thereby facilitating decision-making and planning for operational teams. Thanks to an ergonomic interface and close collaboration with SIG's business teams, we transformed complex data into accessible and actionable information.

Multiple criteria & weighting

This project faced several major challenges: managing numerous deployment parameters and criteria, enabling users to cross-reference multiple data points, and catering to different user preferences (favoring either a map view or a table view). The solution had to remain coherent and intuitive despite the complexity of the data while enabling clear and efficient filtering, saving, and exporting of deployment strategies.

Atipik perfectly understood the technical specifics of the field and skillfully integrated them into the final product with great ergonomics.

The geodecisional tool is part of a global deployment strategy in Geneva, integrating detailed data on each meter (accessibility, address, etc.).

Thanks to a powerful data visualization tool, it facilitates strategic decision-making. The defined strategies are then transferred to the deployment software used by operational teams.

Wireframes were built hand-in-hand with the end user.

The wireframes emerged from initial discussions with the end user. These exchanges allowed us to capture their specific needs for a tailored solution. The complexity lay in the multitude of parameters to be integrated, and together, we envisioned the most suitable functionalities. For example, the display of filters was designed to perfectly match their expectations.

I am extremely satisfied with the collaboration with Atipik for the development of our geographic application. Atipik was proactive, delivering a modern, user-friendly, and high-performance solution. A very positive experience from start to finish.

Transforming complex data to facilitate decision-making.

The geodecisional tool, designed for the Services Industriels de Genève, was created to make data management both simple and efficient. Thanks to an intuitive interface, teams can filter information according to specific criteria, offering a detailed and precise analysis of the meters to be deployed. Each weighting applied during planning can be saved.

But the real strength of this solution lies in the ability to save and export defined deployment strategies. Once plans are established, they are saved for future adjustments and can be easily exported to operational teams, thus facilitating fieldwork.

Together, we simplified complex data to make it actionable.

With the help of SIG's business experts, we envisioned tailor-made functionalities to meet user needs. Today, thanks to the geodecisional tool, the deployment of meters is managed with remarkable precision and simplicity. Most importantly, this allows every resident of the canton to quickly benefit from a smart meter at home, enabling more modern and sustainable energy management.
