Case Study: Telefónica achieves smarter city operations with CARTO

Telefónica reduces energy costs by 3% with CARTO

Telefónica, a major global telecommunications company, needed to build a FIWARE-compliant Smart Cities dashboard to process and analyze real-time data from thousands of IoT sensors for its public sector customers. They partnered with CARTO to find an integrated platform to turn this data into actionable insights for more efficient and sustainable city management.

Using CARTO's software and APIs, Telefónica developed the Urbo Smart Cities dashboard. This solution provided role-based access and machine learning to optimize city resources. With CARTO, Telefónica achieved measurable impacts including a 7% reduction in operational costs for waste management fleets and a 3% reduction in energy costs for street lighting in Málaga.
