03 · Interactive GIS Map
Every request, pinned inside your city limits
Leaflet-powered mapping with color-coded status markers and boundary validation by GeoJSON, city/state, or ZIP code — so requests from outside your jurisdiction never reach your queue.
- Upload your municipal boundary as GeoJSON
- Public map builds resident trust and transparency
- OpenStreetMap tiles — no map API bills
04 · Report From Anywhere
A guided form, a home-screen app, or just a text
The step-by-step wizard makes reporting foolproof, with photo uploads and map pin-drop. Residents can also install the PWA to their phone or text a report by SMS — AI categorization sorts it and duplicate detection keeps your queue clean.
- Guided wizard: location → category → details → review
- Installable PWA — works like a native app
- SMS intake with automatic ticket creation and updates
- AI categorization + duplicate flagging before triage

Satisfaction Surveys
Automatic follow-up surveys measure how residents rate each resolution and roll up into trend reports.
Recurring Issue Detection
Spot the intersection that floods every spring or the park that keeps getting tagged — and fix root causes.
Live Status Board
A big-screen board for the public works garage or EOC showing open work at a glance.
Multi-Language Support
