Roadwurx is always growing and evolving. Here is the current complete feature set or our highway department software. Reach out to us if you have an questions or ideas on how we can improve.

Roads

You have the ability to store all of the following data for every road you add to your database:

Road name
Length
Width
Ward

Surface Condtion
Primary speed limit
Fire district
EMS district
Water district,
Sewer district
Lighting district
School district

Notes

You can edit/update road data at any time. To view your road information, you can select roads from your road list or by using the auto-suggest search form. You may not have all of the information above for your roads. That's perfectly fine. The only thing you need to add a road to your database is the road's name.

Paving history

Add paving history to each road:

Date
Cost
Length of paved area
Tons of blacktop used
Notes

You may add unlimited paving dates to each road. Adding a new paving date for a road will not overwrite or delete earlier paving history entries.

Drainage

Add drainage installations to each road. The following information can be added per drainage location:

Choice of catch basin, culvert, ditch, dry well, pond
Nearest lot number
GPS coordinates
Basin shape
Width
Length
Height
Grate shape and dimensions
Date of installation
Culvert pipe size
Depth (if retaining pond)
Notes
Edit/update drainage information at any time.

There is no limit to the number of drainage locations per road (or at all). Some roads will have no dry wells, culverts, or catch basins while other roads, such as those in heavily developed areas, may have tens of drainage locations.

Signs

You may add the following sign data for each sign installed on each road:

Select sign type from MUTCD sign list
Custom text field
Serial number
GPS coordinates
Installation/replacement date
Retroreflection test date
Notes

Calls

The following data inputs are available for calls:

Caller name
Phone number
Purpose (drop down list of most popular call reasons)
House #
Road
Issue

Calls can be updated as "resolved" if issue has been taken care of or is unfounded. There is a feedback section when you update a call to leave notes about the resolution of the issue. The most recent unresolved calls are listed on your dashboard page. Also, a work order can be created from a call with the click of a button.

Work Orders

The following can be added to the work order form:

Address
Issue
Materials needed
Equipment needed

Work orders can be created directly from a phone call or simply by selecting Add Work Order on the menu. Work orders and phone calls have a print button so you can print the information and hand it off to a road crew.

Fleet

The Add Vehicle form allows you to add the following information per vehicle:

Year
Make
Model
VIN or serial number
License plate number
Cost
Unit number
Radio number
Inventory/asset ID
Purchase date
Notes

As with most items on Roadwurx, the user doesn't have to fill in all of the pieces information to save their data.

Users/Staff

You can add as many users as you wish to your account in order to get the most use of your data within your department. You may also non-highway municipal statt as necessary, such as employees of the town clerk's office, etc. When you first add a new user, the form will request the follwing:

First name
Last name
Position (drop down box to select position
Password (the user can change their password when they log in)
Email address (used for logging in and lost password retrieval)
14 sets of per-user permissions set by administrator

Once a user has been added, you can control what each individual is allowed to do with user-specific permissions. Newly-added users can only read your Roadwurx data - they cannot add, edit, or delete anything. We suggest you grant permissions based on individual need. You can also quickly disable a user's ability to access Roadwurx if the necessity arises. Disabling a user won't delete their account, so you'll always be able to go back and re-enable their access at a later time.

Contact List

RoadWurx provides you with the ability to maintain a simple contact list online so you can quickly find the contact information for vendors, employees, etc. The following information can be saved per contact:

First name
Last name
Company
Office number
Phone number
Email number
Address/notes

Cloud Hosted

The term cloud hosted gets thrown around a lot, but what does that mean to you? Simply put, using Roadwurx is similar to using almost any other website - there is nothing for you to install on your computers or phones. You access all of your information and tools by logging-on here at https://roadwurx.com. That's it. If the computer dies in your office, you don't lose the Roadwurx software and your saved data. They are both live on the Internet. Another benefit of this format is that you and your employees can access Roadwurx anywhere you can get a signal. You or an employee out in the field can even login at Roadwurx on their cell phone.

This also means that if your office is without power due to a severe weather event, you can access and use Roadwurx from any internet-ready device, e.g., cell phones.

If you feel that Roadwurx is missing a feature necessary for your department, please email us at info@roadwurx.com and give us a chance ot improve our product.
