Case Study: San Francisco Public Works speeds disaster recovery with Spiral Scout’s Decovery platform

San Francisco Public Works cuts assessment times by 50% with Spiral Scout

San Francisco Public Works faced significant challenges with its outdated, paper-based system for post-disaster building inspections, which caused delays and errors. They partnered with Spiral Scout to develop a digital solution, a disaster recovery application called Decovery, to enable rapid and accurate damage assessments.

Spiral Scout built a mobile-first platform with real-time data collection, GPS integration, and an offline mode. This solution cut assessment times by 50% and increased reporting accuracy by 85%, allowing the city to process double the number of buildings and coordinate recovery efforts more effectively. The success of the project has made the platform a scalable solution now being explored by other municipalities.
