Success story: Advanced analytics for public project management at Infraestructures.cat

The challenge Infraestructures.cat faced in improving public works management with accessible, real-time data

Infraestructures.cat, a public company of the Generalitat de Catalunya, plays a key role in regional development. Its mission is to ensure that public infrastructure projects are delivered to the highest standards of efficiency, quality, and safety.
Despite having advanced management systems in place, the organisation faced a significant limitation: it lacked an advanced analytics solution that would allow access to critical information in a clear, agile, and autonomous way.
A pilot project using Power BI showcased the potential of data analytics. However, it also revealed the need for a more robust, scalable, and secure solution capable of supporting the organisation’s long-term growth.

The implemented solution using a Lakehouse platform on Azure to turn data into strategic decisions

At Vanture ESS, in collaboration with our partner Deside Datum, we designed and implemented a comprehensive solution based on a Lakehouse architecture running on Azure Data Fabric. The main objective was to build a modern, scalable, and highly available platform capable of integrating data from multiple operational systems.

This new platform not only consolidates information but also transforms it into strategic data, accessible in real time. With a redesigned dashboard, the management team now has a clear overview of project statuses, detailed tracking of each phase, and more precise control over timelines — all within an intuitive, agile, and user-friendly interface. This improved usability supports a stronger data-driven culture across the organization.

Impact achieved through digital transformation, enhanced operational efficiency, and full control over public projects

The implementation of this solution has resulted in a rapid and tangible transformation for Infraestructures.cat. Decision-making is now based on consolidated data, clearly visualised and easily accessible, significantly reducing analysis and response times.

The platform has also greatly improved operational efficiency by eliminating manual processes and streamlining access to critical information. The underlying architecture not only ensures security and stability, but is also designed to scale and incorporate new indicators or data sources as needed — fully supporting the organisation’s ongoing evolution.

Project oversight, from procurement to execution, is now much more comprehensive and precise. This level of end-to-end traceability provides confidence and agility at every level of the organisation.

Project results using advanced analytics to drive efficient, sustainable, and innovative public sector management

Thanks to this project, Infraestructures.cat now has an advanced analytics platform that has transformed the way it supervises public works. The organisation has moved from managing dispersed data to relying on a strategic solution that empowers more efficient, innovative, and sustainable decision-making.

This success story demonstrates how a well-defined data strategy can become a true driver of digital transformation in the public sector, adding value at every stage of the process and supporting the achievement of institutional goals.
