Thanks to the latest integration: municipalities optimize parcel management!

In Cologne, everything is currently focused on the modern integration of CAFM systems with GIS, which ensure efficient administrative processes and improved property management. Kommune21 reports that RIB IMS and GIS Consult recently connected their platforms. This novel system integration enables bidirectional communication between RIB FM and Smallworld GIS, which makes the manual implementation of property information much easier.

An exciting feature of this collaboration is the graphical representation of parcels and the property cadastre in both systems. This gives municipalities the ability to edit object geometries in conjunction with process information. With the new integration, objects from the Smallworld GIS can be mapped in detail, which significantly improves the planning and maintenance of urban infrastructure.

Lean administrative processes

The RIB IMS database is based on proven Oracle technology and supports maintenance and repair workflows that are relevant for cities and communities. Instead of having to laboriously import or export data, administrative processes such as the maintenance of green spaces or the maintenance of playground equipment can now be mapped efficiently in the system. This makes information management child's play and saves valuable resources.

The GIS system also allows access to essential information about parcels, buildings and owners, which is provided via the official real estate cadastre system (ALKIS). Consistent maintenance planning for playground equipment can now also be recorded and managed in the system. This innovative solution is an answer to the challenges that municipalities often face, such as operating a large number of facilities despite tight budgets, as RIB IMS notes.

Modern technologies for the future

The integration of CAFM with GIS and CAD solutions offers extensive possibilities. TOL GmbH also emphasizes that the CAFM software pit – FM, which is GEFMA certified, provides web-based and mobile applications. Thanks to a modern 3-tier architecture, handling is designed to be user-friendly for both small and large municipalities. The software supports all devices, from desktop PCs to smartphones.

In addition, the software also enables interfaces to other GIS, CAD and BIM solutions, which significantly expands the area of ​​application. Support for automation and the use of intelligent user interfaces help administrative staff spend less time on training and instead work more efficiently.

With the new integration it becomes clear that digital solutions in local government are not only important but also desirable. The combination of CAFM and GIS systems is more than just a technological advancement; it represents a new era of city administration that is also well prepared for future challenges in the area of ​​infrastructure.
