Smart311 Citizen Reporting · v3.11 · WordPress Plugin

The 311 system that lives on your city's website

Residents report potholes, outages, and code issues from any device. Staff work them from one dashboard. You keep the data, skip the per-request fees, and go live in an afternoon.

Product Tour

See every screen your city and residents get

Every page below is created automatically the moment you activate the plugin — no page building, no theme wrangling.

01 · Service Center Hub

One front door for every request

A polished, role-aware landing page greets residents with quick actions and browsable categories. Staff see their work queue and open-request alerts on the same hub. Set it as your homepage or link it from anywhere.

  • Quick-action cards for report, track, map, and browse
  • Shows each visitor only what their role needs
  • Built-in help guides for residents and staff
The Service Center hub — created automatically on activation.

02 · Enhanced Dashboard

Analytics your council will actually read

Three view modes — sortable list, live map, and visual cards — with real-time filtering and charts for status distribution, 30-day trends, and top categories. Export any view to CSV for council packets in one click.

  • 8+ filters with instant search as you type
  • "My Assignments" work queue for staff
  • Date-stamped CSV export for reporting
The enhanced dashboard — list view with live charts and one-click CSV export.

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.

Multi-Language Support

Serve residents in their preferred language with translation-ready output across the reporting experience.
