Challenge

In the past, LADOT faced significant operational hurdles to modernize their record keeping capabilities, this impacted efficiency, transparency, accountability:

  • Fragmented and Paper-Based Record-Keeping: Initially relying on manual paper-based work orders, LADOT had no digital records of their daily repair and maintenance activities, making it difficult to track routine work.
  • Compliance needs: With thousands of signals, documented proof of repairs, maintenance, inspections, and construction are essential.
  • Challenges with Operational Efficiency: The persistence of paper-based processes combined with limited digital tools created additional work for field crews.
 

Furthermore, a lack of customized digital forms for various types of work affected the overall efficiency.

LADOT sought a robust, customizable solution to modernize its operations and address these critical record-keeping and challenges. They identified Connixt iMarq as the ideal partner. Connixt collaborated closely with LADOT, continuously configuring and enhancing the iMarq platform to precisely fit the department’s evolving needs.Key aspects of the Connixt iMarq solution included:

  • Comprehensive Digital Record-Keeping: iMarq has become the centralized repository for all traffic signal field operation records.
  • Automated Data Integration: iMarq was configured to seamlessly push crucial data into other systems such as, for example, the city’s asset management software, eliminating the need for LADOT personnel to directly interact with a complex, less user-friendly system.
  • Enhanced Reporting and Analytics: iMarq provides customized reports and dashboards, offering valuable insights into key metrics such as call volume, response times, and overall departmental performance. These analytics have become vital.
  • Improved Field Troubleshooting: Field crews can instantly search and access historical records for any location directly within the iMarq app, significantly enhancing their ability to efficient troubleshooting and identification of recurring problems.
  • Streamlined Job Approvals: Supervisors can now digitally close out and sign off on completed work orders, providing a clear audit trail and real-time tracking of job statuses.
