Enabling\u00a0425 users\u00a0to access details of allocated\u00a0maintenance tasks and report on job status<\/h1>\n
\"\"Home to nearly four million citizens, Cape Town is South Africa\u2019s second most populous\u00a0city. Tasked with managing roads and stormwater infrastructure, the city administration\u2019s\u00a0transport department wanted to streamline and automate processes followed by its\u00a0maintenance teams.

As a result, the city can now repair roads faster and is\u00a0able to take a\u00a0more proactive approach to road maintenance.<\/div>\n
