Indigenous Infrastructure

Water, roads, buildings, and fleet. Inspections and tickets on the asset. Community data sovereignty aligned with OCAP® principles.

Water, roads, and buildings you can find, information you can use

Critical systems span water, roads, civic buildings, and equipment. You find the plant, the road, or the building, and the work stays on it — not in separate places, and not missing until something breaks.

The map, the inspection, and the work order are on that asset. The evidence is there when needed.

Asset classes we support

Water & wastewater

Treatment and distribution with maintenance history on the map.

Roads & bridges

Condition assessments and work orders for linear assets.

Buildings

Band offices, community centres, schools, fire halls.

Fleet & equipment

Scheduled maintenance and location tracking.

Utilities

Electrical, heating, gas, and the other utilities the community runs.

Core capabilities

🔧

Ticket transparency

Know who has the work and where it sits — accountability your leadership expects.

🗺️

Map-backed assets

Locate infrastructure on the map and open the record from the same screen — when emergency services need a location fast, or leadership asks about an asset and its work history.

📱

Field inspections

Collect condition data where the asset is. The LOUIS Field app works offline.

📐

Right level of detail

Model critical equipment and maintenance your crew can sustain — combine related work on tickets instead of over-fragmenting every part.

📈

Maintenance plans

What’s planned stays on the asset, and you can adjust it as needed. Tickets and inspections get the work done.

🔒

Community controls

Your assets, your layers — you decide who sees what, and you can change it. Access aligned to OCAP®.

📊

Funding-ready reports

Digitized maintenance history means the report is ready when needed — not weeks of file gathering.

💰

Financial data integration

Connect work order costs and capital project spend to your general ledger where available — operational and financial evidence on the same asset record.

🏗️

Housing and assets together

When housing and assets use the same system, water and electrical questions don't land on the wrong department.

Support for the E-ACRS program

Indigenous Services Canada's Extended Asset Condition Reporting System (E-ACRS) is part of the Capital Facilities and Maintenance Program. Every three years ISC-funded infrastructure is inspected. Your community receives an executive summary, and the data is filed in ISC's Integrated Capital Management System (ICMS). LOUIS keeps condition and work current on the days between those inspections. LOUIS does not file to ICMS.

  • ✓

    Living condition register — keep asset and component condition current, not only when a consultant visit is due

  • ✓

    Inspections on the map — field assessments tied to each asset, with history your team can update

  • ✓

    Lifecycle and capital planning — track deficiencies, replacement timing, and maintenance so E-ACRS findings feed ongoing community planning

A living register your team keeps current

Software your team uses weekly

Ongoing asset management — condition, tickets, and history that stay with the assets week to week.

All asset types together

Condition, tickets, and history across the portfolio, so you can answer Council.

Supported rollout

Start with a core asset class, train on real data, expand when the team is ready — with clear communication throughout.

Data sovereignty & OCAP®

Public works data — asset locations, inspections, work history — belongs to your community. LOUIS supports information governance aligned to OCAP® principles, with access and export policies discussed before go-live.
