PUBLIC WORKS
ASSET MANAGEMENT & WORK ORDER SOFTWARE

Not all government software for public works can handle the needs of multiple departments. Yet, having a single Public Works Software system in use by all departments can be very beneficial. Why settle for less when you can find a municipal software solution with the flexibility to handle the needs of multiple departments?

TRACK AND MAINTAIN ASSETS ACROSS
MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS

A FLEXIBLE MUNICIPAL SOFTWARE SOLUTION

Novo Solutions understands that each Public Works department has their own unique set of needs. Take for example, Fleet Maintenance, Facilities Maintenance, and Street Maintenance each require Public Works Asset Management Software and Work Order Software. Fleet needs to track each vehicle’s make, model, and year and set up mileage and date based preventative maintenance. Ideally, they would also have odometer readings automatically logged from their fuel management system. On the other hand, Facilities needs to track buildings, HVAC systems, and other assets like Custodial and Maintenance work. Streets needs to see Work Orders on a map of their linear street segments. In many cases, a municipality ends up purchasing several different government software systems to best meet these needs. But, with our ShareNet software, you can have one public works software management system that is flexible enough to work for all of your departments. 

Issues with Each Department Having Their Own Software:

  • Lack of consistent, centralized reporting
  • Difficulties managing multiple applications and vendor agreements
  • Information Silos
  • Staff having to learn multiple systems
  • Increased costs

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Kim Keesler, Clerk/Treasurer

“Once our Public Works staff had a little practice, they found ShareNet to be very easy to use. Within just three days, they successfully cataloged Fire Hydrants, Water Valves, and Curb Inlets into the system, complete with asset details including geo-location and a picture. This marked a significant improvement over their previous reliance on paper maps, which necessitated return trips to the office. With ShareNet, they can now handle all tasks directly in the field which makes them much more efficient.”

You’re not getting a cookie cutter mobile system when you buy Novo. They’re creating a system tailored to your needs. Their team sat down with every department and built a work order system specifically for them.”

“The ShareNet platform has been a great addition to our Public Works Department and is an integral part of our daily operations. Most of the Administrative staff and I use the ShareNet Requests application. I use the software to review and respond to external public requests, entering requests received via phone and from office visitors. The new request and editing functions are very user friendly and are highly beneficial in providing better customer service and response time.”
