Overview 

Harlestone Parish Council in Daventry were one of the first Local Councils to record their insured assets in Parish Online using the pre-formatted Asset Register layers.

By spending the short amount of time to turn their spreadsheet records into a Parish Online map, they can now keep better track of their assets and ensure their records are up-to-date.

Solution

We met with Paul to see how he was getting on and invited us out on a tour of the village. Whilst walking around, he took the opportunity to take pictures of his playground equipment assets. This means that in the event of a claim, he’s even got photographic evidence of the asset. By taking the pictures on an internet-connected tablet they could be attached to the assets directly in Parish Online. For those without such fancy gadgetry, photos taken on a phone or camera can be attached to asset records once back on a computer or laptop.
