Fragmented evidence
Images, reports and updates can sit across separate systems, making review and comparison slower.
Road intelligence for highways teams
Turn road evidence into prioritised, traceable maintenance action.
ARCH connects road-condition evidence, operational review, prioritisation and audit-ready workflows for highways teams and maintenance contractors - while working alongside existing operational systems.

The operational gap
The problem is not a lack of reports. It is turning evidence into a defensible next action.
Highways teams already receive inspection records, resident reports, images and contractor updates. The challenge is deciding what needs attention first, recording why that decision was made and keeping the evidence connected as work progresses.
ARCH is the intelligence and workflow layer designed to connect captured road evidence with the systems used to inspect, review, prioritise, deliver and report maintenance activity.
Priority needs context
A defect signal alone does not explain operational risk, urgency or the appropriate next step.
Decisions need traceability
Authorities and contractors need a clear record of what was reviewed, decided, assigned and closed.
ARCH platform
A working operational interface progressing through controlled real-data validation.
ARCH brings together work items, map context, evidence, review states, capture-node status and audit history within a controlled real-data environment. Current work is focused on evidence governance, production hardening, performance validation, resilience and controlled scaling ahead of wider deployment.
ARCH workflow
Connect road evidence with review, priority, action and audit.
Capture evidence
Receive route capture, inspector submissions or agreed third-party road-condition data.
Create a review item
Present the suspected defect, location, imagery and supporting metadata for human review.
Record the decision
Accept, reject, reprioritise or request further evidence with the reviewer and reason retained.
Support controlled action
Prepare an approved work item for assignment, export or integration with existing systems.
Maintain the audit trail
Keep status changes, evidence, approvals and completion records connected throughout the lifecycle.
Partner outcomes
Designed for authority oversight and contractor delivery.
The authority and contractor propositions are related but distinct. Controlled evaluations are intended to establish where ARCH improves evidence handling, prioritisation and traceability without adding another reporting burden.
For councils and highways teams
Clearer review and defensible prioritisation
- Bring defect evidence and location context together
- Record reviewer decisions and priority changes
- Improve visibility of overdue and at-risk work
- Export an auditable record for existing processes
Contractor workflow focus
Stronger evidence handover and client reporting
- Evaluate opportunities to reduce time spent locating and validating submitted evidence
- Assess route, programme and SLA visibility
- Connect work status with completion evidence
- Identify avoidable rework and disputed records
These are controlled-evaluation hypotheses and are not presented as proven customer outcomes.
Controlled evaluation focus
Can ARCH reduce the time and ambiguity involved in turning road evidence into reviewed, prioritised and traceable work items?
A controlled evaluation should test one representative end-to-end workflow using an agreed route, operating area or dataset. It is intended to work alongside, rather than replace, an authority’s or contractor’s existing asset-management or work-order platform.
Indicative scopeOne representative workflow, route, vehicle or agreed dataset
Evaluation periodTypically 8–12 weeks, subject to scope and readiness
MeasuresReview time, evidence completeness, workflow fit and auditability
An evaluation partner contributes
- An agreed route, area or representative data sample
- Operational input from relevant users
- A validation method and success measures
- Feedback on workflow and integration requirements
An evaluation partner receives
- Configured access to the evaluation environment
- Structured defect and evidence outputs
- An agreed audit and export record
- A close-out report covering findings, limitations and next steps
Operational evaluation brief
Review how an ARCH evaluation would work.
A practical overview for highway authorities and maintenance contractors covering ARCH's current stage, the operational workflow, evaluation scope, partner responsibilities, expected outputs and governance approach.
Governance summary
Governed evaluation, with scope and terms agreed before field activity.
Scope and ownership: routes, users, outputs, data ownership and responsibilities agreed in advance.
Privacy and security: DPIA screening, retention, access controls and processing terms considered where applicable.
Evaluation route: discovery first, then a separate formal agreement before any live evaluation, data access or deployment.

Initial conversations focus on operational fit, evidence and governance requirements, and whether ARCH could address a defined evidence, prioritisation or workflow problem.
