P04 · Implementation blueprint · Mappls Digital Twin Command

Urban Planning WebGIS & Digital Twin

Planning, approvals, assets and projects are managed in disconnected layers, limiting scenario analysis, coordination and citizen service.

01 · Target operating outcome

Define the change before choosing the technology

Which planning or infrastructure decisions are slow because teams cannot see the same current spatial truth?

Business case: faster planning approvals, reduced field visits/rework, better capex coordination and higher asset utilisation. Measure decision cycle times and avoided duplication.

Baseline

Measure current volume, time, cost, failure, service, risk and revenue at the workflow level.

Target

Named decision improved; data readiness proven; workflow adoption by target users; update ownership and production architecture agreed.

02 · Solution architecture

One connected flow from source data to operational action

Enterprise Web GIS, 2D/3D city model, digital twin, planning and approval workflows, asset/project layers, analytics and role-based applications. We build the operational spatial layer behind planning and asset decisions, starting with a small set of high-value workflows rather than a showcase model.

Data foundation

Map, customer, asset, sensor and enterprise data

Intelligence services

Search, routing, GeoAI, rules and spatial models

Role workflows

Live twin · Assets · Incidents · Simulation · Work orders

Decision and outcome

faster planning approvals, reduced field visits/rework, better capex coordination and higher asset utilisation. Measure decision cycle times and avoided duplication.

03 · Users and RBAC

Give every stakeholder the view and actions they actually need

The shared Mappls identity is separated from application membership. A user can be an administrator in one app, an analyst in another and a viewer elsewhere.

04 · Data and integration

Connect the minimum information needed to make the workflow real

Location foundation

Map, road, address, place, imagery, boundary and terrain layers appropriate to the decision.

Enterprise context

Customer, order, asset, vehicle, incident, task, sensor or transaction records from systems of record.

Integration pattern

APIs, SDKs, secure batch, streaming events, webhooks, files or on-premise integration depending on architecture.

Security and control

Least-privilege RBAC, audit events, encrypted transport, tenant separation and cloud, private or offline deployment.

05 · Proof of value

Use a bounded implementation to answer the scale decision

8-week use-case pilot: data ingestion, 2D/3D view, one workflow, analytics and governance model.

  • Confirm data, geography, users and workflow: Which high-value decisions should the twin support? What layers exist? How current are they? Which departments must edit vs view? What integrations are mandatory?
  • Configure Mappls Digital Twin Command for the selected role set
  • Run baseline and intervention scenarios with real stakeholder reviews
  • Evaluate agreed criteria: Named decision improved; data readiness proven; workflow adoption by target users; update ownership and production architecture agreed.
  • Package production scope and commercial model: Platform subscription/licence + data creation + integration/NRE + managed updates/O&M.
