Bring reports and internal work together
A report from outside and a task entered by the team belong to the same workspace. Staff can find both on the board, in a list or on the map.
For public works teams
A clear plan for today.
The team in the picture.
Power Local brings incoming reports, internal tasks and inventory into a shared view for your public works team. Object context and history stay with the work.

Does this sound familiar?
The work is on site. The details are everywhere.
A job on the phone, a note in the vehicle, a question at shift change. Getting the work done takes the full picture.

Prepare the working day
Responsible people, urgency and due dates support assignment. Filters show the records relevant to the next job. A selection by status, urgency, category or department can be saved as a page of its own for a team. The people responsible are notified by email, in the app or both, as each person chooses; changes to watched reports arrive bundled.
Continue work at the object
QR labels connect equipment and facilities with their records. For tools that are lent out, the object shows who is using one now and who had it before. Linked reports, tasks and inspection history support team handovers.

Planned work and reports from residents come together at the municipal depot. Reports submitted through QR codes on public facilities are already linked to the relevant asset. Your team assigns tasks, sets due dates and records completion.
One possible workflow
Bring reports and tasks together
Handle incoming reports and create internal tasks in the same overview. You can also record an issue received by phone as a report.
Plan the day together
Assign tasks to a person and set suitable deadlines. The board and filters help you spot open and overdue work.
Record the work at the asset
Record follow-up questions, work carried out and completion in the report. Linked reports and tasks remain accessible from the inventory asset for future visits.
- Internal tasks with due dates
- A board with responsibilities and status
- QR labels and history at the asset
- Equipment check-out and return
Any more questions?
Good to know.
Can we create our own tasks without a public report?
Yes. The team can create internal tasks directly, assign them to a person and set a due date. They are organised in the same workspace as incoming reports.
Open in the FAQWhat about issues that still come in by phone or email?
Staff can enter these issues in the platform themselves. Responsibility, status, comments and subsequent work then follow the same workflow. This does not imply an automatic import from an email inbox.
Open in the FAQCan equipment and facilities be linked to reports?
Yes. Inventory assets can have their own QR labels. A report started from a label retains its link to the asset; linked reports and tasks remain accessible from that asset's entry. The inventory also supports recording check-outs and returns.
Open in the FAQCan the team work without an internet connection?
The current platform requires an internet connection. Offline capture with later synchronisation is in preparation.

For playgrounds and kindergartens
Looking after places together.
A QR code at the entrance gives parents, carers and visitors practical information about the playground and a simple way to report a problem.
See the workflow
For everyday work on site
Turn individual steps
into a clear workflow.
A loose wooden slat or broken glass beside the sandpit is often noticed by the people already there. The public asset page lets them read the visitor guidance and alert the responsible team. Their report is already linked to the right playground.
After the scan
Get informed.
Then get involved.
A QR code opens the public asset page. People can find information about the place and start a report if needed.
Example · Public asset page
Caretaking and public works
Playground by the kindergarten
Welcome to our playground. Please be considerate of others and leave the area clean. Have you noticed damage or litter? Let us know.
Try reporting an issueExample: guidance for visitors is included in the asset description.
One possible workflow
Find information at the entrance
The QR code opens the playground’s public page, with its description and published pictures. Your team keeps the visitor guidance up to date there.
Report what you notice
Parents and carers open the report form on the same page. The playground and its saved location are already linked. An optional photo helps explain the problem.
Respond as a team
The caretaking or public works team takes on the report, assigns responsibility and priority, and records the work. The person who submitted it can follow its status through their private report link.
- Public asset page without an app or account
- Information and approved images of the playground
- Reports linked to the asset and location
- A clear view of responsibilities and progress
Any more questions?
Good to know.
Can a QR code show information before someone reports an issue?
Yes. A QR code can open the public asset page. Visitors see its name, description, responsible departments and approved images. You can share playground guidance or construction project information, for example. An action on that page opens a report linked to the same asset.
Open in the FAQDo we need to replace the QR code when information changes?
No. As long as the asset and QR code remain active, the existing code continues to lead to the same asset. Your team can maintain its description and images in the platform. Updated information appears the next time the page is opened, without reprinting the sign.
Open in the FAQDo people need an app or an account to submit a report?
No. A QR code or link opens the form directly in the browser. Residents, staff and tenants can submit a report without installing an app or creating an account.
Open in the FAQHow do people find out what happens to their report?
After submission, they receive a confirmation with a private link. They can use it to follow progress or withdraw their report. Email notifications can also be used when the relevant contact details have been provided.

For water and utility networks
Every installation has a history.
Keep inspections, maintenance and faults on hydrants, inspection chambers and other installations together in each asset’s record.
See the workflow
For everyday work on site
Turn individual steps
into a clear workflow.
Hydrants, valves, inspection chambers, reservoirs and pumping stations are spread across the supply area. Your team uses the QR code to open the relevant asset record and complete due checklists on site. Recorded inspections and faults give the water utility an overview of the work ahead.
One possible workflow
Record installations and locations
Add hydrants, valves, inspection chambers and other installations to the inventory with their locations. A QR label on the installation opens the relevant asset page.
Record inspections on site
Set the checkpoints and inspection interval for a category or an individual asset. Authorised team members complete the due checklist on site. Recorded defects become reports linked to the installation.
Keep the history close at hand
Link fault reports, repairs and documents to the affected installation. On the next visit, your team can see what has already been done, even when a different person takes over.
- Assets with a location and a QR label
- Checklists with defined inspection intervals
- History and documents at the asset
- Access rights per area and team
Any more questions?
Good to know.
Can we inspect playgrounds, vehicles or facilities with a checklist?
Yes. Per category you set a checklist and its rhythm, for example every three months; a single asset can have its own list. A due checklist appears as a report on the board. Authorised staff scan the QR code on the asset and fill it in on site; a defect becomes a report on the asset straight away. A completed checklist is never changed again and stays in the history of the asset as proof. The public does not see it.
Open in the FAQCan equipment and facilities be linked to reports?
Yes. Inventory assets can have their own QR labels. A report started from a label retains its link to the asset; linked reports and tasks remain accessible from that asset's entry. The inventory also supports recording check-outs and returns.
Open in the FAQCan different teams have different access?
Yes. Roles and individual permissions can be managed, while departments reflect who is responsible for the work. You can decide who may handle reports, manage inventory or view particular folders.

The current platform requires an internet connection. Offline capture with later synchronisation is in preparation.

Planning your introduction
Agree on the process. Then set it up.
Choose a suitable group of objects
Start with equipment or facilities where reports and inspections regularly come together. Clarify categories, locations and the object information you need.
Agree responsibilities and handovers
Define who records, assigns and completes work. Due dates and status help when the team maintains them within an agreed process.
Prepare for use in the field
Plan QR labels and team introduction, and check connectivity where people report through a QR code. Your team can install the workspace on a phone like an app and get in-app notifications as push notifications if they wish. Existing data and additional customisation are agreed separately.
Before you decide
Questions from your daily work.
Can we create our own tasks without a report from a resident?
Yes. Internal tasks can be entered directly, assigned to a person and given a due date. They are organised in the same workspace as incoming reports. Recurring work such as a service every three months is set once at the object and then appears on the board as a new task each time it is due.
How does a QR code help with equipment and facilities?
Scanning opens the relevant object context. Linked reports and tasks remain accessible from the inventory record; authorised staff can complete due checklists on site.
What remains available for the next shift?
Comments, photos and progress stay with the record. Linked reports and tasks can be found at the object. The history supports handovers but still needs agreed responsibilities.
Do people who report hear what happens to their report?
The municipality can switch on status emails: people who left an email address in the form then hear when their report is in progress and when it is resolved.
Can we organise inspections with checklists?
Yes. Checklists and their schedule are defined for categories or individual objects. A due inspection appears as a report on the board; a fault recorded during it becomes a report at the object. Inspections, checklist updates and reporting a fault need an internet connection. Your team can install Power Local on a phone and enable push notifications.
