Key Achievements of 2024

Enhancing Solutions That Drive Municipal Excellence

This year, we rolled out pivotal updates to our flagship solutions, directly addressing the evolving needs of municipalities:

311 Service Management‍

Our 311 platform saw transformative updates designed to elevate citizen engagement and streamline operations:

These advancements have helped local governments build trust and transparency while delivering more efficient services.

Planning and development are the lifeblood of thriving municipalities, and our updated Development Applications solution supports these vital processes:
