What it does.

Four things 311 Citizen Requests handles to improve your workflows.

01

One inbox for every channel

Phone calls, online submissions, walk-ins, and staff entries all land in the same queue. Every request gets a number and a timestamp the moment it is created, no matter how it arrived.

02

Automatic routing to the right department

Configure routing rules by request type, location, or category. A pothole goes to Public Works. A noise complaint goes to Code Enforcement. No one has to forward an email or make a call to hand it off.

03

Status tracking from open to closed

New → Assigned → In Progress → Resolved. Every status change is timestamped and logged. Supervisors see what's open and overdue. Staff know what's been assigned to them without checking in.

04

Automatic resident notification

When a request is assigned and when it's resolved, the resident gets an update automatically. No one has to remember to call back. No one has to explain why it took three weeks and no one said anything.

How it helps.

What communities gain when the manual work goes away.

Lost requests
0
Requests that fall through the cracks
Every submission gets a number. Every number gets a status. Nothing lives in a voicemail, a sticky note, or a supervisor's memory, so nothing disappears.
Response time
-35%
Less time getting requests to the right team
Automatic routing means no forwarding, no phone calls, no "did you get that email?" Requests reach the right department the moment they're submitted.
Resident trust
Closed loop
Residents know what happened to their report
Automatic status updates go out when a request is assigned and resolved. Residents stop calling back to ask. Council stops asking why no one followed up.
