Use case

Use case: the board asks what is still free

It is Thursday morning and the board meets at noon. The chair's office sends one line: how many plots are still available, and which sectors are asking about them?

Where the answer lives today

In many agencies the answer is spread over three places. Land status sits in a spreadsheet kept by the land team. Enquiries sit in the investor services inbox. Reservations sit in a folder of signed letters.

So someone spends the morning merging them, and the numbers in the board pack are already a few days old by the time the meeting starts. If one sheet was not updated, the board hears the wrong figure.

What it costs

The obvious cost is a lost morning. The real cost is trust. A board that gets a different number every quarter starts to doubt the land plan behind it, and decisions on new infrastructure wait.

The same question on a map

When the map and the plot pages read from one record, the status is the answer. In the Demo Zone the count is right on the map: 68 plots available, 17 reserved and 32 taken, out of 117.

The Zone summary report turns that into one page you can print or save as a PDF: district by district, with the sectors and the open plots. The District profile goes one level deeper for the district the board cares about.

The Investor activity report adds the second half of the question: which plots and sectors are drawing views, shortlists and enquiries. In the Demo Zone these figures are sample data; on a live portal they come from real use.

A better board pack

  • Status per district, with the date it was last checked.
  • The 5 plots with the most interest, and the 5 with none.
  • Enquiries that named a plot, separate from general messages.
  • One line per lost project on why it went elsewhere.

Every item on that list comes from the same map, so the land team, investor services and the board see the same numbers.

Try it yourself

Open the Demo Zone, go to Reports, choose Zone summary and print it. Then compare it with the last board pack your team prepared by hand.
