Case Study: Linedata cuts Google Maps API costs and improves utility operations with Hexagon

Linedata improves water utility operations using Google Maps

Linedata, a Brazilian provider of software for utility companies, faced challenges optimizing its Google Maps Platform API usage for its Sanegeo water management system. Without in-house expertise, the company was incurring high costs on unnecessary API calls. To address this technical and financial challenge, Linedata turned to the vendor Hexagon for its Google Maps and geospatial expertise.

Hexagon's team assessed the Sanegeo application and identified that redundant calls to the Geocoding API were the primary cost driver. By optimizing the implementation, Hexagon was able to reduce the number of API calls by 50% in the first month without compromising functionality. This optimization significantly lowered costs for Linedata, which also now benefits from Hexagon's ongoing technical support to maintain an efficient and cost-effective mapping solution.
