Case Study: Sedgemoor District Council achieves improved flood preparedness and streamlined services with Precisely's Spectrum Spatial

How Location Intelligence technology is helping Somerset prepare for the unexpected

Sedgemoor District Council, which serves 46,000 households across 217 square miles of Somerset, was one of the worst affected areas in recent damaging floods (with waters reported up to 8 feet and millions of pounds of damage). To better prepare for extreme weather and to improve everyday service delivery, Sedgemoor turned to Precisely and its Spectrum Spatial location intelligence solution.

Precisely’s Spectrum Spatial centralises and integrates complex spatial data to provide accurate, real‑time analytics that Sedgemoor uses to map past flood impacts, identify properties and areas most at risk, and optimise services such as waste collection, planning and grounds maintenance. The solution has improved the council’s data‑driven decision-making and operational efficiency—helping staff prioritise contingencies and better protect the district’s 46,000 households across the 217‑square‑mile area.
