Platforms for local government.
Eolas Labs builds GovTech software for local government from Torrelavega, Spain: citizen platforms, municipal apps and open data. SomosTorre, the civic platform for the city of Torrelavega, was built, launched and is operated by us — it is the only reference we need to show.
Who it is for
- ✓Councils that want an app people actually open, not a portal nobody visits.
- ✓Departments sitting on data — transport, incidents, events — with nowhere to show it.
- ✓Groups of municipalities that need to share one system.
- ✓Teams that have already lived through a digital project that never reached production.
What we bring
A platform that already exists
SomosTorre has been in production since May 2026. You can see it, download it and talk to the people who use it.
Simple procurement
The €14,900 starting price is designed to stay below Spain’s direct-award threshold for services, which the law sets at an estimated value under €15,000, with no tender.
Urban-planning viewer
Plot and planning lookup: land class, flood zone and protected heritage in a single answer, over cadastre, regional planning and SNCZI flood data. In production inside SomosTorre.
Electronic invoicing
FACe and the timelines of Spanish local government, which we already know from the inside.
Accessibility
Public-sector requirements designed in rather than patched on at the end.
Ongoing operation
Someone answers for the system after the handover is signed.
The proof
More than 2,500 residents of Torrelavega have SomosTorre installed, in a town of 52,000. Real-time transport, incident reports, council paperwork, local commerce and an AI assistant. It is published on the App Store and Google Play, catalogued on datos.gob.es, the open data portal of Spain’s Ministerio para la Transformación Digital y de la Función Pública, and Eolas Prints S.L. is listed as a solution provider on the European Commission’s Smart Cities Marketplace. It has been entered for the World Smart City Awards 2026.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask us about Public sector.
Can you be contracted without a tender?
Up to the direct-award threshold for services, yes. Above that we go to tender like any other supplier. Always confirm the current threshold with your own legal or finance office.
Does the platform belong to us or to you?
To you. The code, the data and the store accounts are in the council’s name. You can change supplier without changing platform.
Can you build an urban-planning viewer for our municipality?
Yes, and in Cantabria it costs less than you would think. The layers underneath are public and belong to no single municipality: the cadastre is national, the regional government publishes the planning of every municipality in Cantabria already harmonised, and flood zones come from the national SNCZI mapping. That makes a second viewer configuration rather than new construction. You can see it running inside SomosTorre: address or cadastral reference, land class, flood risk and protected heritage. The report is indicative; the document that counts is still the cédula urbanística issued by the council.
Where does the planning data come from, and who maintains it?
From the cadastre, the planning published by the Gobierno de Cantabria, the SNCZI flood mapping and the protected heritage register of the regional culture department. It is public data, so the council does not have to hand us anything to start. What gets published is a dated copy, with the date on show, rather than a live connection that might reveal something not yet approved.
Does it work for a smaller municipality than Torrelavega?
Yes, and it is usually faster. Most of the work behind SomosTorre is done; in a smaller municipality it is adapted rather than built from scratch.
