Smarter road management.
Safer infrastructure.
Stronger compliance.
We all know that managing roads isn’t just about fixing potholes—it’s about compliance, risk management, and efficiency. Staying on top of inspections and repairs is critical for councils, governments, and contractors. Konect simplifies road management with real-time mapping, automated workflows, and secure data capture, making it easy to schedule inspections, document defects, and ensure make-safe repairs happen on time.
With geospatial mapping, automated task dispatch and robust data collection, Konect gives management continuous visibility over maintenance activities and the state of their road networks. Asset managers and contractors can track maintenance needs, map worksites, and generate compliance reports effortlessly. GPS, annotated photos and automated data capture keep records accurate and accessible, eliminating lost paperwork and uncertainty.
Konect also manages roadside furniture like signage, guideposts, and lighting, ensuring compliance with local Road Management Plans. Our advanced mobile App allows inspections and emergency repairs to be logged anywhere, even when outside the communications network. With every defect, repair, and inspection time-stamped and mapped in a secure central database, compliance is trackable, verifiable, and reportable, reducing legal risk and keeping road networks safe.

Road Management Plans
Konect assists managers of road networks to demonstrate that they have implemented a best-practice approach to managing the risk of damage and injury for road users.
Konect provides a secure and efficient framework for recording defects and managing make-safe repairs. Time stamped electronic records allow managers to demonstrate their compliance with metrics stipulated in their Road Management Plan.
Global GBM assists numerous Organisations to regularly inspect the various classes of assets in the road corridor (signs, guide posts, lighting, road surface, footpaths etc.), log defects and prioritise make-safe repairs.
Accurate map location of defects allows repair crews to easily identify their worksite and positively confirm closure of hazardous defects. Road owners reap efficiency benefits and can significantly reduce insurance premiums by demonstrating a positive approach to risk management.
Road Furniture & Footpath Inspection and Maintenance
Global GBM’s map-enabled mobile solution improves the productivity of both inspectors and repair crews. Inspection and repair works are linked into a fully electronic workflow, making it easy to close out work requests and collect statistics on the work done.
Map linked data forms make it easy for inspectors to track which segments have been inspected and quickly mark the location of any defects. Intelligent data forms make sure defects are described consistently. Wireless data services upload all defects to the cloud database from where they can be easily reviewed and repairs prioritised.
Maps assist repair crews to quickly navigate to defect locations and positively identify the site and work requirements. No more paper forms, no more time wasted matching up work sites and work requirements.
Konect automatically collates audit records to protect against possible legal challenges around the state of the footpath network and steps being taken by the asset owners to minimise public risk.
Asset Capture
In Australia alone, the Roads and Infrastructure Market manages $100 billion in assets, including the roads themselves. However, this also includes many small items, such as road furniture, including lighting, signs, footpaths, barriers, and even the trees planted along the way. These need to be located, inspected, and repaired.
Global GBM provided unique map linked drawing tools that allow inspectors to accurately locate these assets at their GPS location or more commonly mark them on high resolution aerial imagery. In Australia spatial asset capture drives repair and maintenance regimes and provides critical observations that drive improved Asset Management software.
As-Build Surveys
Developers submit plans that detail the location of roads, footpaths and services to be established in new sub-divisions. As-built infrastructure invariably differs from those plans. Konect is an efficient tool for employees and contractors to validate final installations against the original plans for upload to your and your customers’ GIS system that will track these assets through their productive life.
Works Management
There are many areas in Roads and Infrastructure Management where personnel need to be dispatched to inspect or maintain assets in the field. Konect, with its unique combination of a manager’s desktop, wireless data service and mobile App is an ideal environment for assigning works to field crews and tracking tasks to completion. Integrations with Assets Management systems can be developed as required. Typically an Asset system will forward work orders to Konect and receive updates as works progress.
