COMMUNITY REMARKS is the merger between GIS and community mapping. It allows citizens to conveniently post their ideas, comments, and images to a website and relate them to a specific geographic location or general topics. Unlike other engagement application, citizens do not need to create an account or login to participate. As a result, citizens “hit it and go” on with their lives. Many planners use COMMUNITY REMARKS as the central database for all feedback collected throughout their plan.

Our smart city mobile app includes several standard modules to help your community improve citizen engagement efficiently, lowering costs while improving citizen satisfaction. The CityFront mobile app allows citizens to engage with local government to easily create 311 service requests which are automatically routed to the appropriate department, or to use the intelligent “Ask the city” module with natural language processing to find answers to FAQs, quickly. The app integrates with your city’s website CM to provide a citizen with easy access to your community’s news and events, and integrates with Local Yelp® restaurants and business listings, allowing the citizen access to a full range of community and government information from a single, unified mobile app. Other modules such as smart parking, smart permitting, augmented reality, and text and voice language interpretation can be built into the app based on the needs of your community. Our smart city mobile app is an integration and configuration engine that can work the way your community works and be built to suit your needs. As an added bonus, we license our platform as a service and can train your team to extend your community app to further tailor it to fit your community.
