Municipal software

Software for the city.

Resident apps, administration systems and urban operator services. Requests, mapped assets and service work share one workflow.

01

From a resident request to work on site

Define access, responsibilities and the next action for residents, administration and contractors.

01

Resident applications

Requests with an address and photo, appointments, notifications and resolution history.

Scope details

Requests with an address and photo, appointments, notifications and a history of the resolution. Forms explain what information is needed, and the account shows a clear status.

02

Administration workspace

Task assignment, response approval, deadlines and a department activity log.

Scope details

Intake, assignment between departments, response approval, deadlines and an activity log. We define how repeat requests and transfers to another service are handled.

03

Maps and asset registers

Mapped assets, documents and work history. Every record has a stable identifier.

Scope details

City assets, roads, lighting and sites on a map. Each asset has a responsible party, documents and work history; geometry and address share a stable identifier.

04

Transport and payment

Accounts, timetables, transport events and payment statuses — within the existing infrastructure.

Scope details

Passenger or carrier accounts, timetables, onboard device events and payment statuses. The exchange scope depends on the existing transport and payment infrastructure.

02

One asset. A shared history.

A request and a service visit should refer to the same asset. Staff can see earlier work, while residents receive an update on their own request.

Identifier

An address can change. Identifiers and matching rules preserve the links between assets, requests and documents.

Public and staff data

The public map shows an agreed set of information. Working records are available to the roles that need them.

On-site review

Photos, comments and completion time become part of the assignment. The process owner defines when it can be closed.

03

What we connect to existing systems

Before development, we map the data: where the original record lives, who may change it and how exchange results are accepted.

Start with one working process

We scope the first release to an agreed area, asset set or department so the workflow can be checked with real users.

  1. 01

    Describe the workflow

    Map the request journey, roles, exceptions and existing systems. Define the outcome and the first-release boundaries.

  2. 02

    Prepare the data

    Agree reference data, check addresses and duplicates, and identify source systems. Prepare migration and correction rules.

  3. 03

    Validate the prototype and exchange

    Walk through scenarios with staff and residents. Use test data to check access, external responses and recovery after a failure.

  4. 04

    Hand over for operation

    Provide instructions, an integration register and a support procedure. Assign owners for data, requests and technical incidents.

05

What we clarify before estimating

Who owns the system and its data?

We need owners for the workflow, source registers, staff access and publication approval. The contractor should not decide user authority on its own.

Is a connection to public services required?

Define the specific scenario and whether ESIA or SMEV applies. Connection depends on participant status, current procedures and granted access rights.

Can the existing GIS be used?

Yes, where the required data and interfaces are available. We first check formats, address quality, map rights and geometry update rules.

How does it work in the field?

We check devices and connectivity. Where needed, we design local task storage, upload after reconnection and conflict handling.

06

Documentation and related needs

Source documents

Check access and interface versions against the system owner’s current documentation.

Which city workflow needs connecting?

Describe the area, users and existing systems. If there is no specification yet, we will start with the workflow and available data. For procurement, include the specification scope, hosting requirements, source-code handover and acceptance criteria.
