Smart city technology for small and mid-sized municipalities
Varidx helps cities and towns run parks, facilities and city operations from one dashboard. The Varidx Smart City Platform brings together data from sensors, cameras, city databases and external feeds such as weather and public safety alerts, and turns it into real-time status, alerts and reports for staff. Residents get a public portal with the same live information and alerts when it changes. Towns use it to see whether fields are playable, which courts are free, how busy downtown is, where water is rising and how parks and trails are used, without sending staff to check in person.
What cities use Varidx for
