ReportAll is a mobile app available for download from both the App Store and Google Play Store. ReportAll provides the public with the opportunity to report incidents of illegal tipping, graffiti, dog fouling and litter directly from their smartphone to local authorities.
Developed by Bann Technology Ltd, ReportAll enables constituents to raise local issues directly with local councillors and authorities, thereby improving communication between constituents, elected officials, and government departments.
ReportAll covers both ends of the process, from reporting an incident (e.g., fly-tipping, fouling, litter, etc.) to how the local authority or department manages the issue being reported.
Project Name
Spatial Analysis and Reporting of Incidents with Government Officials and Local Communities
Project Outcomes
The primary objective of the project is to improve communication and the sharing of information with both local communities and authorities via the:
Visualisation of reported incidents
Private sharing of information with local authorities
Importing of data via Azimap's WMS support
Spatial analysis to identify hotspot areas
Embedding of maps on third-party websites
How Azimap was Used to Fulfil Project Requirements?
To fulfil the project requirements, we used Azimap's API to import data directly from the ReportAll PostGIS SQL database. By automating the data management process, we were immediately able to utilise Azimap's map creation and presentation features to analyse, present, and share reported incidents using polygons, points, and heatmaps with the relevant government officials.
We were also able to print maps with selected featured information to support the production of reports and proposals for existing and prospective clients, highlighting how powerful ReportAll can become when combined with Azimap to facilitate the presentation and sharing of reported incidents.
Benefits of Azimap
1. A web-based GIS was of extreme importance for ReportAll primarily because the ReportAll application is cloud-based, and they required a GIS that would complement their application in terms of speed and data accessibility.
2. The ability to manipulate and layer data was of great benefit, as their customers are representatives from different departments and required the ability to break up the data and display each relevant layer, as well as any future possible overlays, on the map with their own data.
3. Onboarding support was vitally important to ReportAll. They required a partner who understood their business requirements and could guide them in implementing the most effective reporting solution.
4. Having a choice of plans was extremely important to ReportAll. This helped them to ensure that Aziamp fulfilled their immediate business objectives and could grow with their business.
