Delivering more with less. Smart monitoring for local authorities and housing.

Local authorities are responsible for a huge range of services that impact society. We help them deliver enhanced social impact and greater efficiency - from housing compliance to water safety, social care and smart city applications.

Use cases

Five public sector challenges we solve

We work with local authorities, housing associations and care providers across the UK. These are the challenges our clients ask us to help with most often.

Social Housing · Damp & Mould

Damp and mould in your housing stock - before the complaint arrives

COSIE homes monitors continuously and scores a damp and mould risk per property. Evidence is built automatically before any complaint lands, satisfying Awaab's Law enforcement requirements from day one.

  • Continuous monitoring, not single inspection snapshots
  • Root-cause attribution: Excess Moisture, Under Heated or Under Ventilated
  • Automated evidence record for RSH and Awaab's Law compliance
See COSIE homes
Water Safety · Legionella

365 days of legionella evidence - not just one inspection day

Legionella can kill and its mitigation is a costly legislative requirement. Our solution enables quicker, more reliable and more cost-effective ACOP L8 compliance through continuous temperature monitoring on flow and return pipes.

  • Non-invasive clamp sensors - no plumber, no downtime
  • Sampling every 2 minutes across 365 days
  • Automated real-time alerts when temperature drops out of compliance
See COSIE Legionella
Waste Management

Stop visiting empty bins. Smart collections that cut costs by 52%

Smart bins allow operators to optimise collections and recycling to keep communities clean. Studies show up to 80% of public bins visited don't need emptying. Fill-level sensors change that.

  • Reduce collection mileage and CO₂ emissions
  • Incident detection for fires, animals and people inside bins
  • 52% cost saving demonstrated at BCP Council

Smart Parking

Real-time parking data for councils and town centres

In-ground parking sensors provide real-time occupancy data across any car park or on-street bay - giving councils the evidence to plan, enforce, and communicate parking availability with confidence.

  • Real-time availability data for residents via apps or town centre signage
  • Frictionless enforcement - prioritise visits to confirmed overstays
  • Meaningful planning data for future parking and transport decisions
  • Taxi rank queue management and unlicensed operator detection

The remote monitoring is providing valuable information on our water temperatures that will allow us to react quickly to ensure we are maintaining temperatures within the compliant timeframes. This is a very important indicator for us and will assist us in keeping our buildings safe for our staff and visitors.
