Manage Capital Assets Municipalities can't provide public service without assets. To maintain their assets, municipalities should start accounting for the assets in terms of cost per unit of service. Most jurisdictions have trouble tracking this data, and if they do, it is seldom tracked in one database. AMANDA not only helps municipalities know what they have, but how much it will cost them in the future. AMANDA's asset accounting provides many benefits:
Manage a complete asset inventory, which can be segregated into component assets or pooled by asset class.
Improved capital acquisition planning through the availability of better information.
Perform trend analysis on the usable life and replacement cycle of assets, improving budget forecasting.
Track performance statistics to identify operational best practices which can be shared between departments.
Measure asset acquisition and replacement as well as depreciation, quantifying their so-called infrastructure deficit. View different asset attributes, depending on whether the user is in Engineering or Finance.
Generate asset rating and financial reports.
AMANDA lets governments better manage assets for long-term financial planning, scheduling of replacements, enhancing cost recoveries, extending useful life of assets, improving service delivery and having sufficient data to support future infrastructure funding and decision making. The software not only gives a clear accounting of municipal assets, it shows how well departments are managing their assets.
The system also manages ongoing Public Works building projects, enabling users to see in one place:
Estimated project schedule
Milestone dates
Estimated capital cost
Estimated completion date
vendor selection date
Overall project status
Monitor Sidewalk Conditions Our Sidewalker software allows infrastructure inspections of sidewalks and paths to be completed with unparalleled speed and accuracy, data that departments can share in efforts to ensure that sidewalks are pedestrian-friendly. Surveys can be done as often as needed and records are court-admissible in the event of a personal injury suit.
