Report a Problem App

Customized

The solution is extremely customizable and can be configured to even the smallest requests. We meet with every department involved so that the workflow is streamlined and specific to each department’s needs.

Built For Your City

Your city can track the progress of each problem with different levels of detail. Metrics such as completion time are tracked automatically and automated emails to internal departments are sent as new tickets are submitted.

Built For The Public

The public can easily submit details, contact information, and even pictures about the problem from their mobile device or computer. The progress can be tracked so concerned citizens know what progress has been made, and submitters receive an email with a survey when their ticket has been completed.

The Four Parts of the Report a Problem Web App

  • Report a Problem

    The public can submit the problem location, details, pictures and any other details you would like them to include on their phone, tablet, or computer. The boundary within which problems can be reported can be customized to each department.

    Manage Submissions

    Once a problem has been submitted, an automated email is sent to a specific employee based on the problem type. A new ticket is automatically created for each submission where all the details and submitted pictures can be viewed. Ticket notes or status can be updated in the Manager application.

    After a ticket is completed, the submitter receives an email with a description of how the problem was fixed, and a survey link for them to fill out designating how they felt with the resolution.
