Case Study: Auckland Council improves property asset planning with SPM Assets

Spm Assets - Software of Choice for Auckland Council Property

Auckland Council faced the significant challenge of amalgamating the diverse and complex property asset databases from eight legacy councils into a single, cohesive system following the creation of the New Zealand "Super City." With over $1.8 billion in combined property assets, the council needed a solution to effectively manage this portfolio, integrate disparate data, and inform future planning. They selected SPM Assets and its property asset management software to undertake this complex data alignment and migration project.

SPM Assets implemented its solution by first conducting workshops to understand the various legacy systems and then developing a consolidated, generic component reference library. This process rationalized asset data, aligned it with new management structures, and improved data quality. The tangible results included a unified database of 8,000 properties and 105,000 components with a combined replacement value of $965 million. The council now uses SPM Assets' software and analytical tools for long-term planning and budgeting, leading to more efficient maintenance strategies, enhanced decision-making, and expected cost savings for ratepayers.
