About SeeClickFixSeeClickFix
SeeClickFix is a place-based reporting platform which allows residents to document neighborhood concerns and improvements alike, ranging from litter to damaged sidewalks to missing garbage carts. Using this real-time, online reporting system can increase productivity, efficiency, and transparency for many city services and departments.
SeeClickFix is very user-friendly, utilizing drop down selection menus and simple clarifying questions. When submitting issues via mobile app, for example, residents can select from a list of issues and provide a description, including location and picture. Once the resident submits an issue, anyone ‘watching’ the area will receive an alert. Representatives in the departments can then acknowledge the service request, route it to the person, and update the request—and residents following the issue—once it’s been resolved.
