Municipal Asset Atlas

[01]The problem

A municipal body keeps asset records across spreadsheets, paper maps and disconnected desktop GIS files, making it hard to plan maintenance or answer citizen complaints quickly.

[02]The solution

A browser-based Web GIS portal backed by a PostGIS database and OGC services. Field teams update asset status from mobile devices, and planners filter, measure and export layers without desktop software.

• Layer catalogue with search and filters
• Mobile field updates with photos
• Ward-level dashboards
• OGC WMS/WFS services for other departments
