95% of councils manage their assets using
spreadsheets, paper, and WhatsApp

In over 200 conversations with councils, we've found that 95% still rely on spreadsheets, paper, and one person's memory. When that person leaves, years of knowledge walk out the door.

Data scattered everywhere

Asset information is split across spreadsheets, paper forms, email inboxes, and people's heads. There's no single place to see what you own, where it is, and what condition it's in.

Compliance is a guessing game

When was playground equipment last inspected? Is the fire safety cert up to date? Without a system, you often don't know until something goes wrong — or an auditor asks.

Knowledge walks out the door

When a clerk retires or a groundskeeper moves on, years of institutional knowledge about what needs maintaining, when, and how disappears overnight.

Hours lost reading reports

Fire risk assessments, RoSPA reports, tree surveys — someone has to read every page, extract the action items, and manually build a to-do list. It takes hours every time.

Up and running in hours, not months

Snap some photos, schedule your inspections, and you're live. Most councils are up and running in under an hour.
