What SUEZ Smart Solutions does

SUEZ Smart Solutions (legally SUEZ Digital Solutions) is the dedicated digital and IoT software unit of SUEZ Group, headquartered in Le Pecq, France. It builds and operates connected-metering, network-management, and asset-management platforms for water and waste utilities worldwide, organized around three pillars: ON'connect for smart metering (automated meter reading, leak detection, remote shut-off, revenue protection, and consumption analytics), AQUADVANCED for smart water operations across the full water cycle (network management, treatment plants, sanitation, water resources, borehole monitoring, and energy optimization), and AssetAdvanced plus Villagile for infrastructure investment planning and cross-utility smart-city data management. Supporting modules include WasteAdvanced (waste-to-energy optimization), WasteConnect (collection routing), ARMELE (smart pumping-station control), and Smart Metrology Services (sensor anomaly detection).

The technical stack combines proprietary IoT connectivity (including the WIZE protocol alongside LoRa and NB-IoT integrations with leading telecom operators and meter manufacturers), cloud-based SaaS software, and AI/ML models for predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and operational optimization. The unit employs 600+ data and AI specialists processing telemetry from 7 million connected water meters and 45,000+ connected waste devices globally. The commercial model is enterprise SaaS and technology subscriptions sold primarily via direct field sales to municipal and industrial customers, leveraging SUEZ Group's global distribution network across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. Named reference customers include Régie de Le Mans (120,000 smart meters, €125k annual leak-detection savings), Metropolitana Milanese (8% energy reduction, 2,600 tonnes CO2 saved annually), Denver Water, and PUB Singapore.
