What We Do
MAKE ASSET MANAGEMENT EASIER
The Canadian Infrastructure Report Card found that about 30% of municipal infrastructure is assessed as between fair and very poor, and that many municipalities lack the capacity to manage their infrastructure. And we're not surprised, because we know that it is not an easy feat to manage the assets and infrastructure of an entire municipality. That's why our mission is to make it easier for municipalities to better manage their assets and infrastructure. By leveraging technology, we take the effort out of the day-to-day work local governments perform to keep the lights on.
IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY
Knowing the condition of public assets infrastructure is paramount to public safety. Yet, many municipalities still struggle to predict when their infrastructure needs to be replaced or become a safety hazard. We believe that by improving asset and infrastructure management practices we contribute to safer and stronger communities.
PROTECT AND PROLONG INVESTMENTS
Maintaining deteriorating public infrastructure is expensive. As a trusted partner to municipalities, we help local governments better manage their assets and infrastructure in the most cost-effective way. We believe that everyone must do their part to protect and prolong the significant investments of taxpayers. We want the best for our communities and want the same for yours.
SERVE OVER 175 MUNICIPAL CLIENTS
Our clients are local governments and we think that makes us public servants too. Our public-service mindset and client-focused approach is what sets us apart from other companies. We have over 175 satisfied municipal clients.
