> Smart asset management for parish, town, and community councils in the UK.

Civic.ly is a purpose-built SaaS platform that replaces spreadsheets and paper for managing community assets. It serves council clerks, grounds teams, councillors, contractors, and volunteers with AI-powered tools for asset registration, inspection scheduling, compliance tracking, and maintenance management.

Civic.ly is built by **Starboard Systems Limited** (Company No. 10297703, registered in England and Wales) — the team behind **Scribe**, the market-leading cloud platform for town, parish, and community councils across England and Wales. Civic.ly is a new sister product from the same company, purpose-built to modernise council asset management.

## What We Do

Civic.ly provides a complete asset management platform for UK local councils (parish, town, and community level). Core capabilities include:

- AI-powered asset register — photograph an asset, AI identifies it from 800+ types, writes descriptions, assesses condition, maps GPS location, and links relevant UK safety regulations
- Interactive mapping with street, satellite, and OS MasterMap layers
- 150+ pre-built inspection checklists with automated defect tracking — covering playgrounds, buildings and building services (fire safety, Legionella, gas, lifts, lightning protection, HVAC), vehicles and plant, water features, sports facilities, cemeteries and more, with electrical items coming soon
- Task management for inspections, maintenance jobs, and defect resolution
- Compliance engine linking 50+ UK safety standards to assets automatically — from playground and sports standards to building fire safety, Legionella, lifting (LOLER), lightning protection, and vehicle/plant roll-over protection
- Mobile app (iOS and Android) for grounds teams in the field
- AI document analysis (coming soon) for fire risk assessments, RoSPA reports, tree surveys
- Dashboard and reporting with real-time metrics, CSV/PDF export
- Roles and permissions — role templates and fine-grained access control per user
- Unlimited users — no per-seat pricing

## Who We Serve

Our primary audience is UK parish, town, and community councils — specifically:

- Council clerks and Responsible Financial Officers (overwhelmed with admin, compliance anxiety, single points of failure)
- Grounds teams (need clear task lists, mobile access, photo evidence)
- Councillors (need visibility, dashboards, evidence for budget decisions)
- Contractors (need assigned tasks, less paperwork)
- Volunteers (need simple issue reporting)

## Industry Context

95% of parish and town councils still manage assets using spreadsheets and paper (based on over 200 conversations with councils). The sector faces devolution, Local Government Reorganisation, and increasing asset transfer pressures.
