Comments on: Westborough to test smart phone app http://www.communityadvocate.com/2012/12/21/westborough-to-test-smart-phone-app/ Covering news in the Massachusetts towns of Westborough, Northborough, Southborough, Marlborough, Shrewsbury, Hudson Thu, 23 May 2013 01:48:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Lee Wright http://www.communityadvocate.com/2012/12/21/westborough-to-test-smart-phone-app/#comment-31379 Lee Wright Sun, 06 Jan 2013 04:19:01 +0000 http://www.communityadvocate.com/?p=29756#comment-31379 Apps like this make communication more accurate and efficient, and they create a web-based public record that increases accountability and enables residents to track the progress on reported problems.

SeeClickFix is one a few of us have been using in Marlborough for a couple of years. Anyone can download the SeeClickFix app for free, and anyone–both residents and DPW, code enforcement, and others in the city–can use it for free. The only cost comes in if the community wants to integrate with their own internal workflow management system.

Congrats to Westborough for moving ahead with this. Any idea of how the system compares with the base SeeFixClick offering?
