Lane rental is easy to launch.Harder to operate.
In 12 weeks, we show whether GEO.works can reduce the operational workload and risk created by lane rental, without replacing the systems you already use.
A lane rental scheme sets the charges. It does not run the operation.
Once a scheme is live, teams still coordinate between highways, permitting, finance, legal and works promoters. Every permit has to be checked against charged streets and periods. Charges must be applied, waivers assessed, disputes defended, and the whole operation reported and audited.
When that work is spread across spreadsheets, inboxes and disconnected systems, authorities face:
- Reconciling permits against charged streets and periods
- Limited visibility of live works and conflicts
- Manual charge and waiver decisions
- Duplicate data entry across systems
- Inconsistent records between permitting and finance
- Weak audit trail for charges and waivers
- Growing reconciliation and reporting workload
A live scheme does not automatically mean a well-run operation.
The Lane Rental Operations Sprint
A focused 12-week engagement to identify, test and measure where GEO.works can reduce the operational workload and risk of running a lane rental scheme.
Understand
Map your lane rental workflow, systems, responsibilities and reporting. Establish the baseline for reconciliation effort, manual checks and charge and waiver handling, and agree the measures that matter.
Configure & operate
Configure GEO.works around one agreed operational area. Your team runs permit checks, conflict detection, charge and waiver decisions and reporting within a controlled scope.
Measure
Compare results against the original baseline. You receive a clear assessment of operational impact, remaining gaps and the business case for wider deployment.
Evidence, not another software demonstration.
The Sprint measures real improvement across your operation:
Coordinate the process around your existing systems.
GEO.works does not replace the systems your authority already relies on. It provides the operational layer connecting permits, works, conflicts, charges, waivers and decisions.

Preparing a scheme
Understand whether your processes, systems and data are ready to operate a lane rental scheme.
Recently launched
Test the operational workflow before the reconciliation and reporting workload builds up.
Managing a live scheme
Identify where manual checks, charge decisions and reporting are consuming time.
Scaling or reviewing
Improve coordination, charge defensibility and audit visibility without replacing existing systems.
A fixed, focused 12-week engagement.
- Fixed scope
- One authority
- One agreed operational area
- Configuration and onboarding
- Team training included
- Baseline and final assessment
- Recommendation for wider deployment
