 IDEA /APPROACH
.
Proposed Solution:-
A platform for all section to share data resources, project and Forums for Custom Communication
development and Live tracking project.

. Time management of overlapping projects to prevent delays and

. damage.

Tools like notification alert for better coordination and Alerts for
Deadline Alert

.
delays and overlapping of projects.

Workshop to use platform effectively and easily for better

coordination.
Innovation

.
How it addresses the problem:- AND UNIQUENESS
Eliminates Miscoordination: Centralized platform allows
departments to share project plans, preventing overlaps and

.
reducing delays.
Resource Allocation Info
Optimizes Resource Utilization: Facilitates exchange of technical
expertise, machinery, and resources, ensuring efficient use across

.
agencies.
Centralized Data
Prevents Project Interference: Enables joint scheduling and unified
phasing of projects at shared sites, avoiding costly disruptions (e.g.,
roadworks damaged by utility installation).
Automated Scheduling
