Case Study: Hastings District Council moves from spreadsheets to secure asset management software with SPM Assets

Hastings District Council - Customer Case Study

Hastings District Council, a local government body in New Zealand, faced significant asset management challenges. Their reliance on numerous, insecure spreadsheets risked critical data loss, created low confidence in budget forecasts, and created a high dependency on key personnel. To address this, they partnered with vendor SPM Assets to implement its asset management software and transition to a more strategic, evidence-based approach.

SPM Assets rapidly set up its software with a pre-configured template, enabling a swift pilot and the migration of all historical spreadsheet data into a centralized, secure system. The solution provided the council with a user-friendly repository for all property data, enabling reliable reporting, financial forecasting, and secure knowledge retention. As a result, Hastings District Council gained a strategic view of its portfolio for improved decision-making and has progressively expanded the system's use to manage a wide variety of community assets.
