The Mission

 

​Planning and resource management have never been more complex.

 

While the challenges facing our environment and communities are growing, the systems we use to manage them haven’t kept pace.

​

For those working inside the system, the reality is familiar: endless formatting, repetitive tasks, and a constant struggle to keep up with new layers of policy and regulation. In a space where outcomes matter more than ever, too much time is spent on admin — and not enough on analysis, judgement, and impact.

​

At Rico, we’re here to change that.

​

We’re building the next generation of planning tools — turning complex rules and processes into structured, digital workflows that improve consistency, transparency, and efficiency. As a pioneer in the emerging planning technology space, we help planners focus on what matters most: better decisions and better outcomes.

​

We’re already seeing results.

 

Hundreds of planning assessments are completed every month on using Rico, with this growing every day. Customers are saving hours, reducing rework, and delivering clearer, faster reports.

​

If you want to see what that looks like in practice — or explore how we can work together — get in touch or check out how Rico works.
