Through its mobile phone and with four simple steps the user can report an incident to the City Hall.
The first thing to do, once the application is installed, is to choose the type of incident, which can be located manually or via GPS;
the user can take a photo and accompany it with an explanatory commentary.
Automatically, the City Council will receive the incident and will refer it to the operator responsible for its resolution.
The system will keep you permanently informed of the resolution status.
The service saves time, paperwork and travel.
The application is designed to facilitate the collaboration of the neighbors with the City, so also has a web page from where you can process the same way the incidence.
This way, it facilitates, if you prefer to collaborate in another way, to do it quietly from your home sending the information you have from your own computer.
With the application, the City Council has exact knowledge of what are the real problems that affect the neighbors, the areas in which are detected more incidents and what type, lighting, street furniture, cleaning, environment, etc.
