No integrated view of all assets and equipment & their usage
No system to track and trace an asset from Procurement to Retiring stage
No information to predict asset break down or plan preventive maintenance
Poor and inconsistent Service work / repair management processes
Potential risk of theft and/or idling of valuable assets
Do not get enough information for proper planning
Cannot get real time visibility of water demand / consumption
Cannot plan asset replacement or upgrade
Potential risk of theft and/or idling of valuable assets
Loss in equipment damages
Public service disruption to Citizens
