About the City of Porvoo

Porvoo_02

The City of Porvoo is responsible for maintaining streets, pedestrian and cycling routes, and other public infrastructure throughout the year.

Managing municipal street maintenance requires effective planning, execution, and supervision across multiple maintenance activities. To support these operations, the city relies on accurate operational information and visual data that provide a shared understanding of current street conditions.

By using Autori's work management solutions together with Autori Vista, the City of Porvoo has strengthened transparency, improved operational visibility, and established a more structured approach to managing street maintenance.

THE CHALLENGE

Before implementing Autori, street maintenance information was fragmented across different sources and often relied on individual knowledge.

This created several operational challenges:

Limited visibility into ongoing maintenance work
No real-time overview of work progress or resource utilization
Difficulties in supervising and developing operations
Information spread across multiple systems and processes
Limited traceability of completed maintenance activities

The City of Porvoo wanted to make street maintenance more structured, transparent, and less dependent on individual knowledge.

Its objectives included:

Bringing planning, execution, and documentation into one place
Improving real-time visibility into maintenance operations
Supporting fact-based operational management
Creating a stronger foundation for continuous development

These challenges are common among municipalities responsible for maintaining public infrastructure.

THE SOLUTION

The City of Porvoo uses Autori as a centralized platform for managing street maintenance operations.

Autori brings together planning, execution, documentation, and visual road information into a single operational environment.

The solution includes:

Autori Office for managing work, observations, and maintenance routes
Autori Mobile for creating observations and work tasks in the field
Autori Vista for viewing visual road information
Vista Camera for continuous road image collection

Field data—including GPS location, timestamps, and visual documentation—creates a real-time operational picture that supervisors can use to monitor work progress and guide operations without separate data collection, manual follow-ups, or parallel reporting.
This shared situational awareness supports daily maintenance work across the organization.

RESULTS

More Transparent Maintenance Operations

By bringing operational information together into one system, Autori has helped create a more transparent maintenance process.
Planning, execution, and documentation are available through a shared platform, giving maintenance personnel and supervisors access to the same operational information.

Better Operational Management

Access to real-time operational data enables supervisors to manage maintenance work using current, verifiable information.

Instead of relying on fragmented reports or individual knowledge, operational decisions can be based on information collected directly from the field.

Improved Traceability

Autori has helped improve documentation and traceability of maintenance activities.
The system provides a clear record of work completed, supporting both operational follow-up and future planning.

Visual Data Supporting Everyday Operations

Visual road data has become an integral part of the City's daily maintenance operations.

Rather than serving only as documentation, images are actively used to support:

Operational supervision
Maintenance planning
Work coordination
Follow-up and verification
Shared situational awareness

The visual dataset continues to grow through continuous image collection.

Operational KPIs

Today, the City of Porvoo manages an extensive visual dataset through Autori Vista and Autori Field Tools:

Nearly 1 million flat (dash) images covering the street network
More than 8,000 panoramic (360°) images linked to specific locations
New imagery captured daily, continuously expanding the visual baseline of the road network

This continuously updated visual information supports supervision, planning, and operational follow-up using current and verifiable evidence from the field.

"In street maintenance, a key challenge was the fragmentation of information and reliance on individual people. There was no real-time overall view of work progress or resource usage, which made management and development difficult.

Autori has transformed the operating model into a structured and transparent one. The system brings together planning, execution, and documentation into a single place. Data collected from the field — location, timestamps, and visual documentation — creates a real-time operational picture that allows management to steer operations without separate information gathering.

In practice, the system has reduced overlapping work, improved traceability, and significantly increased transparency. At the same time, it has enabled data-driven management based on up-to-date and verifiable data."
