My Local Services modules
News and special reports
As a municipality or local body, you can publish the latest news, information or special reports in the “News” module.
The app users only get information relevant to their place of residence.
Digital waste collection calendar
The digital waste collection calendar takes into account the community’s local waste collection plans and the place of residence of the app users. They are conveniently reminded by push notification of the waste collection days relevant to them. This saves you having to send chargeable SMS messages as a municipality.
Changes in dates from the regular waste collection calendar can be communicated as special notifications. This prevents the streets being lined with household waste around public holidays. Special notifications differ visually from regular messages.
Notification system
Using the notification system, app users can send suggestions, submit reports concerning damage to public infrastructure and give positive feedback directly to the municipality.
The simple system helps municipalities to process notifications efficiently and promotes participation by residents.
Business
Offer more visibility and a greater penetration rate to local business. The app enables business owners to tailor their services, delivery options and contact information directly to residents in your municipality.
App users can browse through offers in the map and list view and use the contact details to make contact directly with the business of their choice. Thanks to push notifications, app users can stay informed about the latest offers. The filtering function also allows users to gain a rapid overview of services from specific sectors.
Events
This module allows events in the region to be announced.
A basic functionality enables events to be displayed from an individually selectable geographical area. If a relevant event is missing from “My Local Services”, it can be added easily and free of charge.
Event organizers have the option to offer tickets. The ticketing solution is free of charge for event organizers with a maximum ticket price of CHF 75. The tickets are offered via “My Local Services” and can be paid for and obtained via a third-party app. The event information, option to add events independently and free ticketing solution are provided by Eventfrog AG in Olten.
