Philosophy

Our Approach to Customization

Civic CRM is built on the principle of configuration over customization — empowering municipalities to tailor the platform without costly custom development.

⚙️

Approach 01

Open Architecture — Full Source Code

Unlike legacy asset management platforms, Civic provides full source code with an unrestricted modification licence. Your IT team can extend the API, add custom deterioration models, create municipality-specific inspection forms, and deploy on your own infrastructure — without waiting for vendor roadmaps or paying for professional services.

Configuration Patterns

From bilingual interfaces to ward-based routing, explore configuration patterns designed for Canadian municipalities. Filter by base module to find relevant patterns.

Implementation

Your Customization Journey

A structured, transparent process that takes your municipality from requirements gathering to a fully tailored deployment. Click each phase to explore.

Phase 1 · 2–3 weeks

Asset Management Maturity Assessment

We begin with a structured assessment of your current asset management practices, data availability, organizational readiness, and regulatory obligations. This determines the optimal implementation scope, phasing strategy, and configuration priorities — informed by O.Reg. 588/17 requirements and your existing data quality.

Phase 2 · 4–6 weeks

Taxonomy & Configuration Design

Configure the asset class taxonomy, condition rating scales, risk scoring dimensions, depreciation methods, capitalization policies, and inspection schedules based on your organizational structure and regulatory requirements. Every configuration documented in a municipality-specific configuration guide.

Phase 3 · 2–3 weeks

Data Migration & Quality Assurance

Import existing asset data from GIS, spreadsheets, legacy systems (Cityworks, Cartegraph, Maximo, VFA), and financial records. Field mapping, validation rules, duplicate detection, and data quality dashboards ensure clean data. Historical inspections and work orders imported to preserve institutional knowledge.

Phase 4 · 2 weeks

Integration & Deployment

Deploy on managed cloud or self-hosted infrastructure. Configure GIS synchronization (Esri ArcGIS or QGIS), financial system integration, SCADA connectivity, and IoT sensor onboarding. SSO integration with municipal Active Directory. API key provisioning for third-party connections.

Phase 5 · 2–3 weeks

Training & Change Management

Role-specific training for asset managers, inspectors, public works field crews, finance staff, and executives. Train-the-trainer program enables ongoing internal training. Video tutorials, user guides, and contextual in-app help. Change management support for transitioning from spreadsheet-based processes.

Phase 6 · Ongoing

Maturity Progression & Optimization

Post-launch support for progressive maturity advancement — from basic asset registry through risk-based management to predictive analytics and digital twin. Quarterly business reviews track KPI improvement, data quality advancement, and regulatory compliance. Deterioration model calibration improves with each inspection cycle.
