On behalf of the Finsam Göteborg coordination association, we have developed a social compass for the City of Gothenburg. Using data on nine variables, such as income and unemployment, we have mapped and analysed the demographic and socio-economic conditions affecting the people of Gothenburg and, by extension, the municipality. The social compass enables Finsam Göteborg to plan its initiatives so that they have the greatest possible impact.

For many years now, we have been responsible for compiling statistics on maritime traffic for the Swedish Transport Analysis Agency. The statistics describe vessel traffic to and from Swedish ports, as well as the transport of goods and passengers by these vessels. The statistics cover traffic both within Sweden and to and from other countries.

The pandemic brought about changes in how people want to live and in how holiday homes are used. Värmdö Municipality wondered just how many of these holiday homes had actually become permanent residences and commissioned us to find out. We calculated how many holiday homes are converted into permanent residences each year and analysed whether the age distribution of people moving into holiday homes differs from that of the general population moving into the municipality.

Ensuring the right capacity of nursery and school places, in the right geographical locations within the municipality, at the right time, is a major challenge in many Swedish municipalities. All children should be offered a place within a reasonable distance from home. At the same time, the municipality must make good use of its resources and, ideally, avoid having empty places that cost money unnecessarily. Nor can it be without the places that are needed; they must be in place at the right time. We helped Östersund Municipality to forecast future needs so that they can manage their capacity planning accordingly.

Every year, on behalf of SKR, we produce reports containing comparative statistics on the work carried out by Sweden’s local authorities in the areas of pre-school, primary and secondary education. Based on official statistics and survey responses, we compile and present data on how the country’s 290 local authorities perform and operate according to a range of selected parameters. In our online tool, StudioS, you can compare municipalities with one another or download a report for each municipality.

For the Uppsala County Coordination Association, we have compiled data on the extent of public welfare provision for all municipalities and counties in the country. The statistics have been processed and are visualised in our web tool, StudioS. Here you can see, amongst other things, the levels of unemployment, sickness benefit and financial assistance in each municipality, compare trends over time and view the data broken down by gender. You can also see how this compares with the Swedish version of the Social Compass developed by Statisticon – a compilation of the socio-economic and demographic conditions of municipalities and their residents.

For Danderyd Hospital, we are responsible for collecting and reporting key quality data. Using our Rapportor tool, we create questionnaires that are used for various types of assessments. These include point prevalence surveys, for example on the incidence of pressure ulcers or compliance with hygiene procedures. Other applications include regular patient satisfaction surveys and various forms of staff surveys. Rapportor tracks the organisational affiliation of all data so that every manager can easily generate reports for their departments.
