Field staff in many Councils and Utilities still struggle with a mix of generic tools like spreadsheets, Word, email and photo libraries to compile their inspection, audit and compliance reports. Or they have to access older systems that don’t translate well to mobile phones and tablets, so they still complete their reports in the office or at home after the event.

Thanks to the expanding capabilities of Low-code Application Development (LCAP) products, it’s increasingly common for Councils to create bespoke apps that meet the exact needs of specific field staff activities. And to do so quickly and cost effectively with workflows that link into their existing corporate systems.
