Works Management
- Indent Management: Capturing the information related to the development of the proposal for a Work, followed by the technical and financial approval process

- Internal Reporting: Reports on quality/performance on a variety of parameters (e.g contractor performance) can provide valuable decision support tools to administrative decision makers
- Knowledge Base: Data collected over time and across municipalities within a state can be used for analysis. This can include correlation of data across different municipal modules (eg. PGR and Works to understand the perceived impact of Works out on the citizens)
- Transparency: Integration of data from the Works module to the City Portals can improve the transparency of operations by giving the citizens at large, a clear insight on the nature of capital expenditure carried out by the administration
