Applications are numerous and their management can sometimes be complicated. To ensure proper monitoring, some elements are required to provide the best possible service. For a municipal organization, planning is essential and allows city managers to ensure an optimal level of service to citizens. ### 4 essential elements for an effective management of citizens’ demands ### Prerequisites 1. Management applications by categories 2. Redistribution requests to the relevant teams 3. Creating tasks and purchase orders 4. Planning and appropriate follow-up dates Following these four prerequisites, here are some examples in the context of municipal management. ### 1. Categorization of the types of applications - Information request - Watering hours - Hours “park/library” - Complaints - Public Works - Border/pothole/asphalt - Cup “lawn/tree/shrub” - Painting - Park maintenance/building - Collection “waste/recycling/carcasses” - Ecocentre - Light (replacement/installation) [![Deliver IT services without headaches.](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/40013973/interactive-125667463095.png)](https://blog.c2-itsm.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJEMSuo7aTj%2BhV6JnSVjcGnrRwFwi87ZT%2FiSYHcbZrpy7hr%2FqVQvjFsZc9VrSMXjoJnBZYuxDMl5HC8KxKhJjRR%2BfLR3admQzqK0YDzUXnNoGZ2lstcXWx5gcaSNvjFGX5DMifQpdB%2BHbaywGMLo8fXOq7zd4mW1iTkHtNyXFMOsq8qrR6PAPJHYTq5&webInteractiveContentId=125667463095&portalId=40013973&hsLang=en) ### 2. The request is then managed by teams - Legal Affairs - Water and sewer - Library - Call center - Communications - Municipal Court - Environment - Branch - Finance - Real Property Management - Management of buildings and electrics - Material waste management - Registry - Fire - Computer - Engineering - Leisure-Sports and Community Life - Field operation - Parks - Police - Publications - Human Resources - Taxation - Planning - Highways ### 3. Creating tasks and work orders - Check - Repair of the border - Repair lawn - Asphalt repair ### 4. Planning and Monitoring - Automatic closing of the application - Application tracking - Automation and link with a new query By following these four elements, you can better serve your citizens and thereby increase their satisfaction.
