From the council chamber to the grader cab
One self-hosted, bilingual platform for the whole municipality: public works, fleet, safety, the clerk's office and finance. Your records stay on your own server, in your jurisdiction, and one flat licence covers every department.
The demo is a fictional township with a full year of sample data: work orders, plow routes, council meetings, tax rolls and more.
From a resident's report to a closed, costed work order
Residents report an issue with a photo and a map pin and get an email at every step. Crews work it on their phones, and every job collects its labour, equipment and parts costs.
- Public portal with reference numbers, in English and French
- Service-level targets, routing and duplicate merging
- Job plans, required tasks and preventive maintenance
- Road, playground, water and wastewater inspections, scored, on a schedule
Every unit serviced, every route accounted for
Maintenance comes due by the hours and kilometres a unit actually ran, drivers inspect on their phones, and route completion shows which streets are done.
- Route completion for plows, sweepers and graders
- Optional public plow map with delayed positions
- Driver pre-trip inspections; major defects take a unit out of service
- Fuel, CVIP and registration renewals, cost per kilometre
Run the meeting, and the minutes write themselves
Agendas and packets, live meetings with roll call and quorum, motions and recorded votes from members' own devices, and minutes drafted from the record.
- Conflict-of-interest declarations kept in the minutes
- Numbered resolutions and bylaw register
- Public portal showing Council is in session, linked to the video
- Staff report approvals before items reach the agenda
An asset management plan council can act on
Condition, remaining life, risk and replacement value for roads, water, facilities and fleet, with budget scenarios and levels of service.
- Lifecycle strategies per asset type
- Fixed, growing, fully funded or target-condition scenarios
- Capital projects with funding sources, including CCBF and grants
- Asset management plan PDF and an Excel workbook for council
The municipal back office, on the same platform
An optional finance layer: costs from operations flow into budgets and the general ledger, with property tax and utility billing.
- Operating budget and five-year plan, adopted by resolution
- Property tax penalties, arrears, tax sale list and certificates
- Utility billing and payments posted to the ledger
- Year-end statements and close, T5018
A complete safety program for every department
Incidents with automatic OHS and WCB reportability, a lone-worker program for after-hours call-outs, and training your staff can take on their phones.
- Lone-worker check-ins, SOS, fall detection and text/voice escalation
- Online courses, course templates, SCORM and practical sign-off
- Time clock, timesheet approval and payroll preparation
- Controlled policies and bylaws with required reading and a public library
Your records, your jurisdiction, one licence
Data sovereignty
Records stay on a server you control, which keeps FIPPA and records-retention conversations short. Only a licence check-in (user counts and status) leaves it. Prefer not to run a server? Varda can host a private instance for you.
One licence, every department
Public works, fleet, safety, the clerk and finance on one platform, priced by how many staff sign in. No per-module fees, and residents never count as users.
Bilingual and audit-ready
English and French throughout, including resident emails and certificates, and a tamper-evident activity log your auditor can verify.
