Proman - Smoke Signal

The Smoke Signal app can be used by departmental officials to report on a variety of road related defects on departmental road infrastructure. Typical defects that can be reported on includes, but is not limited to:

• Crack
• Edge break
• Erosion
• Fence
• Guard rail
• Pothole
• Road sign
• Rutting
• Vegetation


The app uses the current GPS location of the user to determine the location of the road defect. Alternative locations can be selected on a live map.

A detailed description of the defect can be recorded and photos can be taken and uploaded along with additional supporting information.

Defects are recorded in the departmental PROMAN system (https://proman.mz.co.za) upon submission from the Smoke Signal app.

PROMAN manages the workflow of the reported defect and constantly updates the reporting official of the current status of the issue.

A major usability update focused on clearer incident workflows, stronger offline controls, and a cleaner light/dark visual experience.

IMPORTANT: Smoke Signal is only for use by registered officials within the Northern Cape Department of Roads & Public Works.
