A new system is about to enter the trial phase for some of the City of Thompson’s employees.

The system by MRF Geosystems Corporation is designed to make municipal operations more efficient by upgrading data management, tracking, and analysis.

Mayor Colleen Smook provided details yesterday on City Beat.

“This would be used by our Community Safety officers and inspections staff that have to return to the office and enter information every time, this way they can track the files and analyze right from when the ticket is being issued.”

As this is a trial only, the City employees won’t have access to all the equipment needed to use the system to its full potential.

Tickets will still be written up and issued as usual, but will be input into the system at City Hall to keep better track of them.

Smook added that the system trial will give the city a better idea if they should proceed with it and include it in budget deliberations.
