Introduction¶
StellaSpark Nexus is an online platform that provides governments, NGOs, utilities and consultants with a digital twin of the natural and built environment, using real-time connections with public and private data sources. Calculation models can easily be connected to the platform to enable continuous analysis of the integrated data. With Nexus, organizations can detect and monitor changes in the physical environment, perform operational forecasting, share data with partner organizations, evaluate spatial policies and schedule data-driven maintenance.

Nexus excels at the following tasks:
- Collect, transform and integrate information from essentially any data source in real time
- Allowing anyone to calculate performance metrics, statistics and predictions from the incoming data stream using scripts, physics-based models or machine learning algorithms
- Visualize integrated base data and calculation results in a high performance web viewer
- Distribute data in various formats to third-party applications through a web API
This documentation provides how-to guidance and reference information for Nexus and explains underlying principles of the data model. To quickly get up and running see our Getting Started guide.
