Upgrading Outdated Systems for the Village of Mattawan

After struggling for years with lost work orders, illegible writing, and inefficient processes, the Village of Mattawan, MI contacted Silversmith Data to explore our Asset Status Tracker (AST™) system. We were able to address their needs and provide them with a solution that produced an outcome boasting time and cost savings for years to come. 

The Problem

Located on the eastern border of Van Buren County, Michigan, you will find the Village of Mattawan. With a population of around 2,000 people, they pride themselves on being rural, living at its very best. With a small village comes small resources and the need to be efficient with time and money. In order to do that, Mattawan’s Public Works Superintendent knew a change needed to take place.

Within their current system, they were still using a paper system that was outdated, inefficient, and prone to mistakes such as people losing work orders, underreporting, and simply writing down inaccurate information. After experiencing the ease of Asset Status Tracker (AST™) by Silversmith Data, the choice to invest was an easy one!

The Solution

AST™ offered the Village of Mattawan something no other system had before. With time, the system has grown on them and with them to completely transform their small department of 4. When our team presented AST™ as the best solution for their needs, we discussed a few select things:

They needed a partner who could understand their reservations to technology, alleviate potential challenges, and make their department more efficient with the resources they had. Silversmith was the company for the job!
