Komunala Kranj d.o.o.

What Komunala Kranj d.o.o. does

Komunala Kranj d.o.o. is a municipally owned public utility (javno podjetje) headquartered in Kranj, Slovenia, delivering an integrated bundle of essential municipal services across the Upper Carniola region. Its core service lines are drinking water supply (vodovod), wastewater collection and treatment, municipal waste collection and disposal, public road and surface maintenance (including winter service), parking management, and funeral and cemetery services. Operations span seven municipalities—Mestna občina Kranj, Šenčur, Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Naklo, Preddvor, Medvode, and Jezersko—with infrastructure including a water tower, treatment facilities, 973 categorized roads (300+ km), waste sorting and collection facilities (Savska loka, Zarica), 20 parking locations, and two cemeteries (Mestno pokopališče Kranj and Pokopališče Bitnje).

The company is a private limited liability company (d.o.o.) under Slovenian law, owned by its founding municipalities; pricing for water, wastewater, waste, and parking services is set by municipal government using a regulated methodology. Revenue mechanics are usage-based for water and wastewater (€0.5461/m³ water; €0.1797/m³ drainage plus €0.6988/m³ treatment and a €0.0528/m³ environmental levy), subscription/recurring for waste collection (per-kg and per-container fees) and parking (hourly Zones 1-3, monthly and annual subscriptions, plus P+R at €100/year), and one-time/perpetual for cemetery services. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through owned infrastructure, a customer service hotline (080 35 55), a GIS-based customer portal, and e-invoicing (over 8,500 users on E-račun); GTM is direct service delivery rather than third-party channels.

The technology stack is centered on a GIS-based service management system with a public-facing portal and is integrated into the Pametni Kranj smart-city platform, which supports free SMS/email notifications for waste collection schedules and drinking-water supply disruptions. Other notable integrations include EasyPark for mobile parking payment, KRsKOLESOM bike sharing, and Arriva for P+R eligibility verification. The firmographic employee count is stated as 16, though evidence shows seasonal mobilization of approximately 35 workers and ~30 plow units for winter service, indicating the true operating headcount is materially higher. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability; "Kranjska Sivka," introduced March 2021, is positioned as an interactive environmental advisor but does not appear to be backed by disclosed machine-learning systems.
