Governments need your help. They want to know what they can be doing better, faster, cheaper and differently for their communities. But they usually only hear from a few self-selected people on issues. And one vote every few years from regular people doesn’t do them (or you) much good at all. Imagine you could “vote” on any topic in seconds, from any communication device, anytime. Governments could routinely ask for your opinion or advice. You could offer them feedback or suggestions in a flash. Welcome to FlashVote! The FlashVote solution combines patent-pending technology and world-class policy and survey design expertise. Your community provides the issues. We structure, collect and report the citizen inputs. We can even provide unbiased policy analysis and suggest best practices. The result is better decisions by governments and happier citizens.

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.
