Custom development of an integration for KLIC notifications in the excavation process
Appfront builds integrations for companies that dig often and want to include the KLIC notification in their own process. The excavation notification goes from your planning or work preparation to the Kadaster, the area information returns to the project, and the crew has that information on their phone before the first spadeful goes into the ground. The integration monitors whether the notification was made in time and whether it is still valid for the work.
What is a KLIC notification integration for the excavation process?
Anyone carrying out mechanical excavation must first submit a KLIC notification to the Kadaster under the WIBON. The excavator then receives area information from the network operators: where cables and pipes lie. The notification must be made within a statutory deadline before digging, and the area information must be available on site. A request for orientation is intended only for preparation, not for digging.
In practice, a work preparer submits the notification in the Kadaster's web application, saves the area information in a folder, and emails it to the site manager. On many small jobs a notification sometimes gets lost, or a crew digs on a notification made for a different address. Nobody knows whether the notification is still valid when the job overruns. And when damage occurs, it is a search for what was available.
We build custom software because every business is different: how many excavation jobs you run, which software they are planned in, how your crews work, and which systems you use for work orders and projects. What the WIBON requires in your situation is something to agree with your advisor or trade association; the integration makes sure the notification is in place and that the crew has the information.
Notification from planning
The excavation notification goes from your own planning to the Kadaster, with the details already on record.
With the crew
The area information comes back to the project and is on the crew's phone.
Deadline and validity
Signals when a job has no valid notification, or when a notification expires.
How we build your KLIC notification integration for the excavation process
We start with your excavation work: how many notifications, who makes them, which software jobs are planned in, and how the information currently reaches the crew. We also look at what happens when a job overruns or is moved. That is where most situations arise in which a crew digs without a valid notification.

Who we build a KLIC notification integration for the excavation process for
The integration is designed for businesses that dig often.
Infrastructure firms
Large projects with many crews. Validity is the core.
Cable layers
Many notifications per week. Reporting from the planning matters most.
Landscapers
Many small excavation jobs. Area information with the crew is what counts.
Network operators
In-house crews and faults. Speed is the core.

Why choose Appfront for your KLIC notification integration for the excavation process?
A crew digging on a notification for a different address, or without a valid notification, risks damage and fines. We build around that: reporting from the planning, area information with the crew, and monitoring of deadlines and validity.
Never forgotten
Every job with a notification.
Correct information
The crew has the right map.
Demonstrable
What was available is on record.
Security and privacy for a KLIC notification integration for the excavation process
The integration works with data on projects, locations and the position of cables and pipes, which is confidential. Access is set up by role and by project, and a crew only sees the information for its own jobs.
The integration runs in a European data centre, with encrypted storage and daily back-ups. Area information is also available on the phone without a signal.
Frequently asked questions about a KLIC notification integration for the excavation process
Questions businesses ask before getting started.
It submits excavation notifications from your planning to the Kadaster, retrieves the area information, places it with the project and on the crew's phone, monitors deadlines and validity, and records deviations and excavation damage.
For mechanical excavation work, within the deadline the WIBON sets before digging starts. What applies in your situation is something to agree with your advisor or trade association; the integration warns you if a job is close to its start date and still has no notification.
An orientation request is for preparation, for example for a design or a quote. You must not dig on the basis of it. Digging itself always requires an excavation notification. The integration can handle both, and keeps them separate.
It returns to the project in your software, and is available on the crew's phone or tablet, even without coverage. That way the crew has the right information for the right job.
The integration checks whether the notification is still valid for the new schedule, and gives a signal if it is not. A new notification can then be submitted in good time.
Yes. Any difference between the area information and what the crew finds on site, or any damage to underground cables or pipes, is recorded on site with photos. What you must report, and to whom, follows from the regulations and the agreements with the network operator.
Check this first. Some packages for infrastructure and earthmoving have a KLIC integration, and that may be enough. Custom software makes sense if you run many small jobs, if notifications are currently handled by hand, or if the information does not reach the crew reliably.
