The challenge

An assets department holds information on buildings, plots, lease contracts and allocations, often in spreadsheets and paper files. When none of it is tied to a map, a simple question is hard to answer: what does the authority own at this spot, and who holds it.

The solution

We built an ArcGIS-based app with a landing page, map view, free search and layer view. An editing map and an editing table let staff add an asset, drag it to the right location and update details by location. A survey form records each asset's update status: not updated, details only, location only, or fully updated. The plots layer is locked against editing from the app, and an assets dashboard shows the totals.

The outcome

The assets team updates property directly on the map and knows which assets have already been verified, while management sees the overall picture in the dashboard. Staff have a user guide.
