The TIM Institute has partnered with the City Department of Conservation (SECONSERVA) of Rio de Janeiro for the deployment of software for the management of urban services and assets, ConservaZUP. The tool will be part of the secretariat agents operating routine.

The software is a platform adaptation Janitorial Participatory Urban (ZUP), free software developed by TIM Institute and already implemented in São Bernardo do Campo (SP) and Boa Vista (RR). In Rio de Janeiro, the system will support the work and demands the Department of Conservation, as well as the services provided by RioLuz and the Comlurb in activities such as drainage, paving, maintenance of public roads, lamp repair and garbage collection. The tool will facilitate the activities of public officials to allow georeferencing of open cases, image publication, the submission of reports, demand status and communication between the teams.

The TIM Institute also offered 60 smartphones for field work and trained agents to use the tool. Will be given further technical support in the first few months of using ConservaZUP. During the pilot phase of the project, lasting 30 days, the tool has generated positive results, reducing up to 25% working time tax charge of conservation of municipal sidewalks, for example.

ConservaZUP is part of a package of technological solutions and innovation that TIM and TIM Institute are delivering to Rio de Janeiro. Among these projects, there is the Biosite, patented sustainable solution for TIM. In partnership with SECONSERVA, TIM will close 2015 with 100 biosites in the city, with forecast expansion to the Olympic Games in 2016. (With press office)
