ReFRMD — Local Government
Operational reporting for councils and public infrastructure.
ReFRMD provides a structured platform for capturing operational activity across council operations — from field inspections and incident reporting to compliance workflows and leadership dashboards.
The operational challenge
A constant stream of data without a consistent system to capture it.
Council operations occur across many locations and teams. Infrastructure inspectors, compliance officers, maintenance crews, environmental teams, and contractors all generate operational information.
Without a structured system, councils struggle with inconsistent reporting formats, limited visibility into field activity, fragmented compliance evidence, and difficulty tracking inspections and incidents across departments.
Infrastructure inspections
Capture structured inspection reports directly from the field.
Inspectors working on roads, parks, public buildings, and stormwater infrastructure submit reports from their phone — no manual data entry required back at the office.
Structured inspection reports
Inspectors capture field reports from mobile devices — including photos, location data, inspection checklists, and observational notes — without returning to the office.
Asset coverage
Supports inspections across roads and bridges, parks and playgrounds, public buildings, stormwater systems, and other council-managed infrastructure.
Immediate visibility
Inspection data is available to operations managers as soon as it is submitted. No waiting for end-of-day summaries or manual data entry.
Incident and compliance reporting
Every incident creates a clear operational record.
Staff capture public safety issues, environmental incidents, compliance breaches, and infrastructure damage with structured forms that include evidence, location, and follow-up triggers.
Public safety incidents
Staff report hazards and safety issues with structured forms that capture location, severity, and required actions.
Environmental incidents
Environmental events are recorded with full evidence capture, creating a reliable record for regulatory purposes.
Compliance breaches
Compliance-related events are logged with timestamps and audit trails, supporting council enforcement obligations.
Infrastructure damage
Damage reports include photo evidence and location data, enabling rapid triage and follow-up tasking.
Operational workflows
Route issues to the right teams automatically.
When problems are identified, they can be assigned to maintenance, contractors, or compliance teams with full visibility into progress and resolution.
Maintenance tasking
Issues identified in inspections or incidents are routed directly to maintenance teams with relevant context attached.
Contractor follow-up
Follow-up work assigned to contractors is tracked within the system, with completion confirmed before the record closes.
Compliance actions
Regulatory and compliance matters can be escalated through defined workflows with approval steps and accountability at each stage.
Progress visibility
Operations teams see the status of open issues across all workflows without needing to chase individual teams for updates.
Operational dashboards
Council leadership views operational activity across all departments.
Dashboards surface inspection activity, incident trends, compliance status, and team workloads — so leadership can prioritise resources and respond to issues without chasing updates.
Inspection activity
Volume, frequency, and outcomes of inspections across infrastructure categories and geographic areas.
Incident trends
Patterns in incident types, locations, and frequency help councils identify recurring issues and prioritise resources.
Compliance reporting
Consolidated view of compliance activity, open actions, and resolved matters for leadership review.
Operational workloads
Team activity and capacity visibility helps councils manage resources and respond to emerging demands.
