Turn abstract strategy into real impact.

WaySDG is the operational intelligence platform that bridges a municipality’s high-level sustainability goals with day-to-day execution — across budgets, projects and the measurable indicators that prove it’s working.

The problems we solve.

In most local governments, sustainability strategy lives in slide decks while the real work happens in disconnected spreadsheets. WaySDG closes that gap.

to reconcile a full portfolio

Eliminating fragmentation

Strategy, budgets and field data live in dozens of disconnected spreadsheets. Reconciling them takes weeks — and the numbers rarely agree.

With WaySDG

One traceable view where initiative, euro and indicator stay in sync.

  • A single source of truth across departments and territories
  • Automatic reconciliation replaces manual spreadsheet stitching
  • Live visibility from macro strategy down to field execution

budget line indicator

traceable in both directions

Budgeting in the dark

Money is committed without a clear line to outcomes. When auditors ask “what did this achieve?”, the evidence isn’t there.

With WaySDG

Every budget line carries the indicator it moves — and its own evidence.

  • Budget lines linked directly to measurable objectives
  • Scenario support for yearly planning cycles
  • Historical context for smarter, defensible allocation

Reporting without headaches

Every sustainability report — SDG or local VLR — is a manual fire drill: chasing data and hoping the alignment holds.

With WaySDG

Framework alignment is automated, so reporting becomes guided and fast.

  • Automated alignment with SDG, INE and local VLR standards
  • Export-ready communication workflows for stakeholders
  • Transparent, evidence-based progress portals for citizens

Budget → Projects → Indicators.

The Triple Link is the core that transforms financing decisions into territorial sustainability evidence — one continuous chain, not three disconnected systems.

Portfolio Observatory

Centralized monitoring of strategic programs from ideation through field execution.

Contextual Evidence Graph

Every initiative is linked to its funding, timeline and SDG or ESG indicator performance.

Territorial Intelligence

Geoscientific context keeps indicators tied to real places — not abstract reporting layers.

Every indicator, open down to the value behind it.

A number only supports a decision when you can go back through it. That is what the Observatory does to an indicator: it opens it, instead of presenting it closed.

Read the trend, not the last number

The whole annual series stays together, year by year — so you can see whether the indicator is improving, flattening out or turning.

See where the regions diverge

The same indicator by region, ranked side by side: the national average stops hiding the differences between territories.

Go down to the value behind the number

Every value, region by region and year by year, in the open — the indicator stops being a result and becomes a reading anyone can check.

Structural alignment, not a spreadsheet column.

Every initiative, budget line and indicator maps to the official taxonomy of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda — SDG alignment is part of the structure, not a label added at the end.

Panorama & Pipeline

Centralize your full operation from ideation to execution with one live portfolio view.

  • Pipeline status by territory and strategic axis
  • Cross-team execution traceability
  • Early warning for delayed initiatives

Strategic Budgeting

Bring financial planning and sustainability strategy into the same decision cockpit.

  • Budget lines linked to measurable objectives
  • Scenario support for yearly planning cycles
  • Historical context for smarter allocation
WaySDG Voluntary Local Review editor, structured by SDG chapter for review before publishing

VLR Reports

Build the Voluntary Local Review inside the platform, consolidating the same management data into a structured report.

  • Evidence consolidated from your live initiatives and indicators
  • Structured by SDG chapter, ready for review
  • Publish when the report is ready

Transparency by default: four public channels.

The public channels are published from the same data you already manage — and it is the municipality that decides what becomes public.

Management platform Public channel Citizens

VLRi Interactive Voluntary Local Review

The review you build in the platform, published as a channel citizens can browse chapter by chapter instead of a report they download.

REOTi Interactive State of Spatial Planning Report

The municipality’s REOT published as an interactive channel — the same statutory report, read on screen rather than as a PDF.

Observatory Public indicator observatory

The municipality’s indicator system, open to the public: each indicator with its series and its source, organised by theme.

Citizen Portal Single entry point for residents

One address gathering the indicators and initiatives the municipality chooses to publish, in plain language.

Plugs into your ecosystem.

Official sources, identity and files — the architecture is built to grow.

Technical excellence with flexible deployment.

WaySDG is grounded in territorial precision, not generic dashboard aggregation — and it deploys on your terms.

Implementation

On-premise or cloud

Deploy according to your security and governance requirements, from managed cloud to fully local infrastructure.

Geoscientific foundation

Indicators stay tied to real geography, so the numbers reflect the territory — not an abstraction of it.

Model

Setup + Licensing

Installation, onboarding, indicator parameterization, baseline integrations and initial training.

Annual Subscription

Continuous support, feature evolution, platform maintenance and roadmap updates.

What people ask us before committing.

The questions that come up in every first meeting with a municipality — including the ones where the answer is “that part is yours”.

Does WaySDG replace our ERP or document management system?

No. WaySDG reads and links to what already exists: the budget is still executed in the financial system and documents stay in the document management system. What the platform adds is the connection between the budget line, the project that spends it and the indicator it moves — the chain nobody can show in one place today.

Can the data stay on our own infrastructure?

Yes. WaySDG is available both ways: installed on-premise, on your infrastructure, or on cloud we manage. The choice follows your security and governance requirements. Across the other products the model varies — WayGIS is on-premise only, WayIntegrity cloud only.

Does this guarantee our Voluntary Local Review?

It guarantees the part that depends on data: evidence consolidated from your live initiatives and indicators, structured by SDG chapter and ready for review. The political content, the narrative and the final validation belong to the municipality — as they should. The platform shortens the gathering work; it does not take authorship of the report.

How long until we have something in production?

The first weeks go into parameterization: which indicators, which strategic axes, which link to the budget in force. A first set of indicators being tracked in the platform is a realistic goal within the first quarter of the project. The public channels and the VLR come afterwards, once the underlying data is stable — the full scope grows in phases.

What if we need an indicator the product does not have?

Waymotion is an engineering team, not just a licence vendor. Custom indicators, new data sources and municipality-specific calculations are project scope, assessed and quoted transparently. The indicator model was built to be extended, not to be accepted as it stands.

Do the indicators have to be loaded by hand?

Indicators from official sources come in from INE through integration, with no manual uploads. Your own indicators — the ones that only exist in your systems or processes — come in through Excel/CSV or through an integration assessed case by case, and Eurostat is under evaluation. No municipality starts fully automated: the initial parameterization decides what is connected immediately and what waits.
