PotholeOps
Photo-first road-defect reporting for small council maintenance teams.
The painful moment
It's Monday morning and the works coordinator has 14 voicemails, 6 emails, and a WhatsApp thread from ward councillors about potholes. None include a photo, a GPS pin, or a severity note, so crews are dispatched blind and residents complain again by Friday.
Hair-on-fire user
A regional council maintenance coordinator who spends 2 hours every morning triaging citizen complaints before crews leave the depot.
