Rodney District Council has launched new rideshare software, asking the public to find a name to reflect the new service.

Recommended by Resolve Group, the new software will enable anyone in the Kowhai Coast area (Wellsford to Puhoi) to access a web-based application that allows them to pair up drivers and passengers. It is a win-win situation for residents who can find out if anyone is going their way and might like to offer or share a ride.

The Council has fully embraced the initiative and hopes it will improve parking hassles as well as contribute to reducing traffic and lowering travel costs.

Demand for greater efficiencies and controls, labour costs, keeping abreast of construction delays or traffic issues – doing more with less. These are some of the drivers that motivated Resolve Group to install two construction cameras on a high profile New Zealand construction site.

These are not ordinary web cameras, or snazzy gadgets. They are high-resolution, wireless systems utilising innovative new web technology from North America. The cameras download 3 to 6 mega pixel images every 10-15 minutes. These images, easy to view and stored on a server, allow project teams with the correct password to monitor projects from any location with internet access 24/7.

This technology can improve project coordination and communication. This is a turnkey solution for projects of all sizes with benefits across the entire project.

• Indisputable project records = cost avoidances/cost reductions 
  
• Marketing and project showcasing tool

Resolve Group is the first company to pilot this technology in New Zealand and is currently leasing the cameras to Auckland City Council.
