Asset & Inspection Management
York City Council uses PSSLive's complete asset management system across multiple departments — from parks and playgrounds to trees, water safety and cemeteries. The Council has expanded its licence over time to cover an increasingly wide range of asset types and inspection requirements.
Challenge
Managing inspections, maintenance and asset records across a wide variety of site types — while eliminating the risk of lost paperwork and building the evidence needed to defend against claims.
Solution
York City Council uses PSSLive to paperlessly complete all types of inspections for playground and tree sites via the mobile application — setting tasks, assigning contractors and plotting assets all from one place. The data gathered provides an accurate picture of asset maintenance requirements across the city, supporting more informed planning for the future.
The Council has since expanded its licence to include Water Safety and Cemeteries, using PSSLive to track installations, maintenance checks and budgetary costs across all areas. The data collected is also used to defend against any claims that may be made against the Council.
