Spend less time wrangling data and more time making informed asset decisions!
Too much of local authorities’ time is spent collating data, replicating work across disparate systems and manually checking information just to be confident it’s right. This doesn’t just slow you down – it makes every decision harder than it needs to be.
Joined up data
But, when your asset data is joined up and when you can be confident in its accuracy you can answer questions quickly, back-up decisions with evidence, and stop feeling on the back foot when scrutiny inevitably comes.
We can help you to spot problems earlier, plan work before issues escalate and move away from the ‘hamster wheel’ of reactive actions.
What does this mean for you?
It means that your performance isn’t defined by the worst failure of the week, but by the quality of the decisions you make every day.
Let’s get you straight to content that explains what this means for the assets you’re responsible for…
If you’re responsible for the safety, efficiency and long-term performance of street lighting assets, including inspections, maintenance, energy data and renewal programmes, explore tailored information here.
What is Confirm Enterprise Asset Management Software?
Confirm is a cloud-based enterprise asset management system that stores comprehensive asset data in one connected platform.
It allows users to intuitively interrogate asset data at the touch-of-a-button and generate insights and reports to easily assess asset condition, risk, compliance, maintenance priorities and future investment needs.
This platform replaces manual processes and disparate systems that don’t talk to each other, with clear and reliable information that you can base concrete decisions on.
To sum it up in a single sentence: Confirm helps UK councils to manage ageing assets, meet regulatory requirements and make limited budgets go further.

Their real-life experience means they understand how councils operate, where the pain points are and how to get real value from Confirm. They don’t just show you the software – they help you get the most from it every day!

Success Stories
Kent County Council (KCC) carried out significant work that consolidated and automated its asset management processes, resulting in significant improvements to operational efficiency and data accuracy.
“The consolidation of data into a single system paved the way for future time-saving efficiencies, especially as the data becomes further integrated into KCC’s workflows. Staff can now access detailed safety barrier information without needing to switch between multiple systems or manually verify data, which improves the speed and accuracy of their work.”
