Municipal asset management, built for public accountability.

Roads, buildings, parks, fleet and equipment across every department — inspected on one system, with records that hold up when a claim, an auditor, or a council committee comes asking.

When a claim arrives, the question is always the same.

When did you first know about this, and what did you do about it?

A department that can answer with a dated inspection record, a photograph taken at the time, and a repair log is in a fundamentally different position from one reconstructing events from a maintenance diary and somebody’s recollection.

Most public works teams are already inspecting diligently. The gap isn’t effort — it’s that the evidence of that effort sits across four departments in three formats, and assembling it takes a fortnight nobody has.

Sound familiar?

  • Departments don’t share a system

    Roads, parks, buildings and fleet each recording things their own way, in their own files. Nobody has a view across the district.

  • The assets are everywhere

    Public infrastructure isn’t inside a fenced yard. It’s spread across the whole area, exposed, and used by people who didn’t read the safety notice.

  • Access costs money

    Per-seat licensing means only some staff get accounts — so the people who find the problems often aren’t the people who can record them.

What changes with Nova

  • One register across departments

    Every public asset in one place, organised by location, with each department seeing the work it’s responsible for.

    See assets

  • Three indicators, not one score

    Condition, compliance and criticality kept separate — so a bridge that’s certified but deteriorating doesn’t read as fine.

    See asset health

  • Records that hold up

    Timestamped, attributed to the inspector, locked on submission, retained at checkpoint level.

PUBLIC SCRUTINY

A record that holds up in public.

Public assets are scrutinised differently from private ones. A record may be requested under freedom of information, quoted at a council meeting, or produced in a personal injury claim. That raises the bar on what a record has to be, not merely accurate, but attributable, dated, and impossible to quietly amend afterwards.

Nova locks an inspection when it’s submitted and keeps every checkpoint result inside it. What was recorded, when, and by whom stays recorded.

PRICING

Every plan includes unlimited users.

Municipal budgets are headcount-constrained in ways commercial budgets aren’t, and per-seat licensing turns a question about who gets access into a question about who is allowed to record a defect.

Nova is one flat monthly fee whatever the size of the team — so the crew in the field, the depot supervisor and the department head are all on the same system, seeing the same record.

It’s definitely worth the price.  Set-up is easy and the support is fantastic.  It make administration so much easier and less time consuming."

Frequently asked questions

Can we produce records for a freedom of information request or a claim?

Filter to the asset, location or date range in question and export to PDF or CSV, with the full checkpoint detail and any photo evidence attached. The record includes who carried out the inspection and when.

What does it cost for a department of forty people?

The same as it costs for four. Every plan includes unlimited users, so pricing is based on locations and inspection volume rather than headcount.

Can members of the public report issues?

Not today. Issue reporting is on the roadmap, starting with council field teams; public-facing reporting is a later phase.
