Work planning software for public works is an operational scheduling and resource-allocation tool that allows public works supervisors to organize, assign, and track labor, equipment, and materials for municipal maintenance tasks. While asset management systems focus on what needs to be fixed and project management software focuses on capital budgets, work planning software is the day-to-day coordination engine. It ensures that the right crews, vehicles, and materials arrive at the right geographic location to complete both daily work orders and long-term preventative maintenance tasks efficiently.

MaintStar’s Work Planning module extension for our Public Works Suite enables local government agencies to track all infrastructure activities, including transportation, water, and utilities, creating a wealth of reporting and data visualization. Once work activity evaluation occurs in parallel with fiscal and budgeting data, the value of enterprise asset management extends beyond operational planning. Combined with our KPI Dashboard module extension, agencies can report the information needed to accurately plan future budget and resource allocations, optimizing funds and increasing overall efficiency.
