What gets in the way

  • Sign faults reported by email with no location or photo
  • Mobilising on a new contract with no sign inventory from the outgoing provider
  • Room and department changes leave wayfinding out of date
  • No evidence trail when a client asks what was checked and when

How Signcensus helps

  • Build the sign inventory in the first weeks of a new contract
  • Record each sign's condition on routine site walks from a phone
  • Filter by status to produce the repair list for the sign contractor
  • Show the client their own sites with a free viewer login

Every sign is pinned to its plan with photos, a sign type, a status and your own fields, and every change is logged with who made it and when. See all features.

Where to start

Use the next contract mobilisation or site audit to build the first record. Read the signage survey checklist and UK safety signage rules.

Questions

Does Signcensus replace our CAFM system?
No. It holds the detailed record of each sign, with plan positions and photos, which a CAFM or helpdesk system usually doesn't. The schedule exports as a spreadsheet for other systems.
