The demand for smarter, faster systems to manage council services is only rising.
One platform making inroads is Asset Vision, which has been building momentum with local governments across the country.
It is a signal that councils across Australia are demanding smarter, faster, and more flexible asset management solutions. With six partnerships in just four months, Asset Vision is answering that call.
With features developed specifically for council needs, the platform handles the full cycle of asset management, from valuations to AI-driven inspections and capital works oversight. It does this without the patchwork of separate systems many councils still rely on.
“We’re seeing strong demand from councils that want one platform to do it all, and do it well,” says Damian Smith, Co-CEO of Asset Vision.
“We’re built specifically for the challenges councils face, and our growth reflects the trust we’ve earned.”
The power of one platform
The solution provides: a spatial asset register, valuations, strategic asset management, work management, AI-assisted inspections, reporting and capital works planning in a single cloud hosted platform.
The integrated federally-compliant valuations improve accuracy and compliance; proprietary Autopilot AI technology uses machine learning and image/LiDaR analysis to accelerate inspections; and capital works modules allow projects to be planned, prioritised, and delivered with greater clarity alongside the maintenance work.
For councils, the appeal is less duplication, faster decision-making, and a clear view of assets and budgets in one place.
“Many councils have ended up with three or four software subscriptions to do different
jobs. Now they can look at Asset Vision and go ‘actually, we only need one solution, which is consistent and easier to use and the cost of that is less than the others” says Chris Wignall, Head of Sales.
The company’s development cycle is also fast paced.
Updates to the platform and its mobile apps are released every few weeks, shaped by user feedback and sector trends.
“We push updates every few weeks based on user feedback, industry needs, and emerging tech,” says Damian Smith, Co-Founder and Co-CEO.
Faster rollouts, rapid results
At the City of Greater Dandenong, it took just 10 weeks to deploy the platform. Teams were onboarded quickly, workflows configured, and mobile inspections rolled out almost immediately.
“It’s been a fantastic journey working closely with the Asset Vision team to bring this project to life,” said Team Leader-Works at City of Greater Dandenong Arran Gray.
“From day one we were aligned on our goals of improving visibility, control, and efficiency across our Works maintenance operations. To see it all come together in just 10 weeks is a true credit to the collaboration, dedication, and professionalism on both sides.”
In Moyne Shire, the technology proved valuable in the wake of natural disasters. Using Autopilot+AI and inspection workflows, the council halved the time needed for disaster relief claims.
“Asset Vision helped us streamline our disaster recovery response and secure funding faster,” says Liam Arnott, Manager Operations at Moyne Shire Council.
“It made a real difference to our community.”
Partners in planning
Asset Vision is also expanding its capabilities through a new partnership with Modelve, a cloud-based Strategic Asset Management platform widely used in local government for statutory reporting, fair value auditing, and long-term scenario modelling.
The collaboration links Modelve’s advanced valuation and planning engine with Asset Vision’s inspection and capital planning tools. Together, the platforms give councils a true end-to-end asset management solution – from long-range strategic planning through to day-to-day operational delivery. Councils can now forecast more accurately, model different investment scenarios (including climate, demographic, and community impact), and ensure renewal decisions are backed by real-time data.
Asset Vision Co-CEO Lucas Murtagh said the partnership delivers tangible value across sectors.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Modelve, not only for local government but also for utilities, transport, and facilities. This partnership represents the best of breed, practical innovation and depth of expertise Aligning strategic planning with operational delivery creates enormous value for our customers, whether they’re using our full platform or starting with targeted solutions like AutoPilot.”
Damian Smith frames the company’s role as more collaborative than transactional.
“We’re not a vendor, we’re a partner,” he says.
“Our goal is to help councils deliver better services, safer infrastructure, and smarter communities.”
