For Public Works

Public Works sees it, fixes it and closes the loop.

Reports arrive with a pin and a description, staff assign the crew, and residents see the status without calling.

What needs attention?

A resident chooses what needs attention.

The challenge

Reports reach you late, without a location, or twice.

Potholes, streetlights and leaks come in by phone, at the counter and through a general inbox. Someone has to work out where it is, which crew owns it and whether it was already reported.

A caller says "the pothole on Main" and a crew spends a morning finding the right stretch of Main.

The same hydrant report arrives by phone, by email and as a social media comment, and gets counted three times.

Nothing tells you what is overdue until a council member asks about it.

During a main break you need the affected streets told to boil their water, not the whole city.

A day in the role

A day on the public works queue.

7:00
Review the queue

New reports arrived overnight with pins and descriptions, ready to assign to streets, water or parks.

9:30
Crew heads out

The pin is the address. Nobody is hunting for "the pothole on Main."

11:00
Main break

Notify the affected neighborhoods only, on four channels, in each resident's language.

2:00
Close the loop

The resident who reported the pothole sees it marked resolved.

4:00
Check the clock

Unacknowledged tickets have already climbed the chain, so the overdue list is short.

The Bloomz difference

A report that carries its own location.

Every BeHeard 311 report arrives with a pin or an address and a description in one triage queue. Staff set the status and priority, assign the department and reply in the same thread, and the resident sees the status.

Pin + queue
every report starts from a location, in one triage queue
Questions we hear

What public works teams ask first.

How does a report reach the right crew?

Reports land in one triage queue. Staff assign the department at triage, from the department list your city sets up, so a pothole and a streetlight can go to different teams.

Can residents report anonymously?

Yes. BeHeard has an anonymous option that does not share your name with staff, for reports residents would rather not sign.

Is there a public map of open reports?

Not yet. A public map is not part of BeHeard 311 today.

Also built for the people you work with.
