Pozuelo de Alarcón wanted to transform itself into a smart city. This was especially so due to demands from residents that the different administrations of the city make an effort to become more clean, efficient and optimize the use of city resources. The goals of this initiative was to decrease energy use, reduce CO2 emissions, detect and correct any excesses in water consumption and keep expenses in check.

The fulfillment of time schedules in each node is a key element of the Quality of Service and late delivery results in significant extra costs (second deliveries). Boyacá did not know the real time at which deliveries took place, they just had what was reported by the receiver and the carrier, and both were not necessarily coincident. To receive and handle this inaccurate information, they had in addition to make phone calls. When deliveries were done out of time, the company had no control over the point at which the delay had taken place and therefore could not manage to improve accuracy. In addition, the clients were unsatisfied and complained as they also lost sales due to late deliveries. The company needed to have direct real-time information of arrival and departure times at each one of the hubs of the distribution chain to control costs with the lowest possible investment in spite of the large number of vehicles involved (several hundred).

Energy generation and management, when not optimized, severely damages the results. If costs are not closely controlled or the production is not predicted accurately, profit can be dramatically diminished or even lead to losses. It is therefore mandatory for energy producers to optimize the management to maximize profitability.
