Accounted For, Shift by Shift
Snow events, citizen requests, budget season: public works runs on proof. Geotab documents the work.
Service, Documented
Which streets were plowed, when the mower was there, why the truck was where it was: on record, automatically.
What Changes
The Work, On The Record
Location alone does not prove service. A plow that drove down Main Street with the blade up did not plow Main Street. Public works fleets wire the work itself into the record.
The work itself goes on the record.
Service tracked against the routes you actually run.
The shop works the right truck first.
Citizen Insights
Citizen Insights puts a public-facing service map on your agency's website, with status categories you define that cut incoming 311 calls.
Built for the yard
Snow, streets, water, parks: one department, many fleets. They all report to the same map.
Routes and geofences built before the first storm, so completion reads against the routes you run.
Spreader on/off captured from the truck; salt and brine totaled per route and per storm.
Your public service map published, privacy delay set, status categories yours to define.
Heavy equipment tracked beside trucks and trailers; engine hours feed the seasonal readiness list.
Coverage by ward, district, or beat; each district lead sees their trucks, the storm room sees all.
Questions
Yes. Route history and geofences document plowing, mowing, and collection with a record for every request.
Heavy equipment and yellow iron track beside trucks and trailers on a sealed unit (GO Rugged).
Yes. Purchase via Sourcewell 102924-GEO or NASPO ValuePoint MA3695, with no RFP required. Battery asset trackers are on the Sourcewell contract too, covering the trailers, mowers, and attachments that have no port to plug into.
Not live, unless you choose that. The public map runs on a delay you set (15 minutes by default) and shows service status, not vehicle positions in real time. What the public sees is entirely under your administrator's control, down to which vehicle groups appear at all.
The record is neutral, and most of the time it protects operators: the street was plowed, the stop was serviced, the route was run. Set coaching and discipline policy before rollout, and where operators are represented, involve the union early.
We will set up a demo around your yards, routes, and seasonal equipment.
