Asset Vision, a Converge exhibitor, outlines the value to be found at the expo for attendees, as well as the importance of diversifying market offerings in response to changes in demand across the municipal and civil construction industry.
Founded in 2011, Asset Vision’s determination to develop a solution that could help identify issues earlier, respond faster and stay on top of compliance led it to work hand in hand with on-site road inspection crews.
The organisation and its platform have achieved monumental growth in the past 14 years. Damian Smith, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Asset Vision, said that from small beginnings, the company has grown and expanded across multiple facets of the transport sector and beyond.
“We started with quite a narrow scope in terms of what our software needed to do and who it needed to do it for,” he said. “At the time, that was road maintainers and road asset owners. Naturally, the functionality of the platform evolved over time.”
Whether it’s work management, AI based defect detection, tracking asset inspections, capital work planning or asset valuations, Asset Vision’s platform offers a mobile, map-based interface, as well as the ability to manage different types of assets across sectors.
“Asset Vision is a really good way to get all your work into one platform. It doesn’t matter if it’s maintenance work or capital improvement work, your teams can just load it all in, visualise it, and then see about getting that work undertaken and delivered, and where there might be overlaps,” Smith said.
Asset Vision is broadening its horizons to amplify and optimise what its platform has to offer. It’s one of the many reasons why the company is exhibiting at the brand new Converge Expo.
To be held on September 17-18, at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Converge is Australia’s only one-stop-shop for Sub-Contractors, Project Engineers, Council Fleet Managers, Large-Scale Construction Contractors and more across the municipal works, civil construction and infrastructure spaces.
A particular area of interest for Asset Vision is Converge’s commitment to showcasing the very latest and best of the municipal works sector.
From technology, through to road maintenance, and larger-scale trade equipment, Converge’s dedicated municipality area will act as a one-stop-shop for council fleet managers and sub-contractors to see the latest tools on offer, with a special focus on zero-emission technology.
Chris Wignall, Head of Sales – Asset Vision, said the company is continuing to make waves in the municipality sector, with the company clearly identifying the space as a growth area.
“Within the past couple of years, we’ve really doubled down on making sure that what we offer is a complete solution for local government. We’ve invested heavily in research and development, hired new people, and more to make sure we’ve got a fully rounded solution,” he said.
“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, and the cost of that is less than the others’.”
Across transport, utilities, municipal works and construction, Asset Vision has developed a platform that’s designed to allow both the asset owner and the contractor to collaborate on the same platform.
All of this has been achieved by what is a local business, focused on working with local companies to best understand what’s required for Australian applications.
“We’re a 100 per cent Australian business. The development team is in Victoria. The support teams are co-located with the development team,” Wignall said. “We’re really proud of what we’ve been able to achieve so far with our local partners, such as Moyne Shire and the Greater Dandenong Council. We also really excited about our expansion into Water Utilities and our latest client to come onboard in this sector is Western Port Water.”
And the company isn’t done just yet.
“The company is a part of me. It’s amazing to see how far it’s come and also what’s in front as we expand and round out our solution, particularly for councils,” Smith said.
