Case Study: Linedata achieves a 50% reduction in Google Maps API calls and costs to improve water utility operations with Hexagon's Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial Division

Linedata improves water utility operations using Google Maps

Linedata, a provider of software and services for electricity, sanitation, and gas utilities in Brazil that supports 12 major water and sanitation companies and nearly 3 million citizens, uses the Sanegeo water and sewage management system with a Google Maps–based map view. Facing high Google Maps Platform API costs and lacking in-house Google Maps technical expertise, Linedata engaged Hexagon's Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial Division for Google Maps Platform and geospatial support.

Hexagon's Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial Division audited Sanegeo’s implementations, eliminated redundant Geocoding API calls by leveraging device coordinates already being tracked, and cut API calls by 50% in the first month without removing critical functionality. Hexagon also provides ongoing, real-time technical support and monthly check-ins, helping Linedata reduce costs, improve Sanegeo’s operational efficiency, and maintain reliable service for its utility customers.
