OpenMaps supports secure data sharing and practical decision-making.

OpenMaps enables organisations to visualise and share data securely, helping teams make better-informed decisions that improve support for vulnerable communities.

It has developed from an initial focus on vulnerability data into a broader platform supporting socio-economic, environmental, housing, asset and live operational information across desktop and field use.

Platform overview

OpenMaps began with a focus on vulnerability data for geographic areas and has expanded into a platform for socio-economic, environmental, housing, asset and operational insight.

Wider access to useful data

Public, private and third sector data can be made available across the business so more teams can unlock efficiencies, insights and better decisions.

Secure sharing and private data hosting

Public data can be viewed widely, while users can host their own private data and choose how it is shared in GDPR-compliant ways.

Designed for operational use

Teams can use live data sources, asset histories and map-based workflows to support planning, surveys, incidents and field activity.

From geographic insight to operational support

OpenMaps now supports live power outages, live traffic, weather forecasts, fire incidents and other operational feeds where APIs are available. It can also surface live van locations, network pressures and streetworks video feeds.

Show job history and upcoming surveys for individual buildings.
View asset data, including footage, directly on the map.
Support planning work with data for Customer Impact Assessments and related workflows.

3D, photorealistic and augmented views

Asset data can be explored in a 3D photorealistic model to assess access issues and identify areas of interest. The platform also supports an augmented reality view for engineers using tablets in the field.

Built for office, planning and field teams

Whether teams are in the office, on site or supporting incidents in the field, OpenMaps is intended to keep information visible, accessible and useful.

Incident response support

OpenMaps can help incident teams access asset and property information, including estimated PSR data, within seconds of identifying an incident. It also helps identify local amenities, viable base locations, excavation activity and contact workflows through a single web interface.

Colour-code properties by PSR status and time since last contact.
Track equipment and stock through spreadsheet-led workflows.
Support external users and volunteers with secure map access.

Flexible access model

OpenMaps is offered without a per-user licence fee, enabling organisations to deploy it widely and make data accessible to as many people as possible.
