Case Study: City of Edinburgh achieves smarter asset management and cost savings with Siemens Asset Management Software

City of Edinburgh reduces repair backlogs by 90% with Siemens Asset Management Software

The City of Edinburgh faced a significant challenge in managing its diverse public infrastructure due to disjointed, siloed data systems for assets like roads, trees, and lighting. This approach created a repair backlog and made reporting difficult. Seeking to cut costs and improve services, the council turned to Siemens Asset Management Software, specifically its Confirm solution, to create a single, unified view of its assets.

By expanding its use of the Siemens Confirm platform, the city consolidated data for street lighting, bridges, and other properties. This solution enabled better work allocation and integrated with smart lighting for automated fault reporting. The results were substantial: Siemens' software helped reduce repair backlogs by 90% for newly added asset categories, cut missed waste collection complaints by over 30%, and is projected to deliver £54 million in energy savings over 25 years.
