Local Government

Resilient and Connected Communities Through Managed Infrastructure, Facilities and Services.

The local council/public sector has some of the most interesting requirements when it comes to managing the way work is executed in the field. From utility installations to community-based health, service expectations are high, and budgetary pressure is even higher. As a result, today’s civil servants are overworked and under-utilised.

Workers are often handling a number of variables before, during, and after completing required work orders. In order to be efficient, they need easy access to information and community data, as well as the ability to collect information and submit reports on site.

Ease Budgetary Pressure and Reduces Operating Costs.

The Sognos Field Service Management (FSM) solution built on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform can help federal, state, and municipal governments and councils become more responsive, effective, and efficient within their communities. For your workers and community, the proper implementation can have a significant impact.

Better Customer Service

With instant access to work order information, service updates, and optimal routes, now your field workers can deliver the best customer experience possible.

Effective Capacity Planning

Deliver better planning and management of your skilled resources and workload. Efficient allocation of time and resources will help reduce costs, alleviate overtime, and ensure that every field based worker is time optimised.

Low-Cost Mobility

The legacy systems must stay – that is okay as often (not always) a field service solution can be integrated into your current legacy systems.

Smart Shift Scheduling

Create worker plans and scheduling with speed and ease allowing your people to receive real-time changes or updates to their schedule, so they stay on track and in touch from anywhere.

Service Performance Measurement

Improve productivity and performance with optimisation of operations delivering more accurate and timely information as entered, tracked, and measured based on historical and current data. 

Getting More From Your Community Assets.

Councils and other local authorities tend to have large maintenance departments, working to maintain a substantial spread of different types of assets. Just keeping track of these assets can require significant effort, unless automated.

Increasing Co-location, Partnership Working & Sharing of Knowledge

Predictive Maintenance Saves Costs.

Your maintenance staff will also find they spend less time doing manual paperwork, travelling to critical incidents, and more time responding to predictive maintenance alerts, preventing outages and failures before they occur.
