Brief description of the company

SUACI's main mission is to improve and strengthen the relationship between them and the citizens of Buenos Aires through quality management based on citizen’s participation.

The challenge

The main purpose of the Buenos Aires City Government was to improve both the opinion and perception the citizens had about the services provided by the state, as well as the credibility regarding government’s actions, through the following strategies:

 

  • Increasing citizens’ participation.
  • Improving government’s care towards the citizens.

Moreover, they intended to unify all the systems used to track citizens’ requests, reducing the amount of necessary paperwork and improving online resolutions.
The challenge was to develop a system that could manage the feedback generated between the citizens and the city government more efficiently.

Solution

The solution consisted of an easily scalable modular architecture.
The system has a main module responsible of managing the citizens’ requests and assigning them to a specific area. It has also several applications (web, mobile, Facebook, etc.) which select the citizens’ requests and send them to the core engine.

The main features are:

 

  • Horizontal “Inbox”, where interactions between citizens and the Government of Buenos Aires can be grouped and recorded.
  • Monitoring the citizen’s request along the different sectors involved until a solution is reached.
  • Generating reports with important information on how requests are solved.
  • The availability of information to generate a database of citizens, with the possibility of reaching individualized knowledge of people.
  • Creating targeted campaigns based on knowledge of the people and their history on the site.
  • Consolidation of citizen’s information, providing a comprehensive understanding of his/her concerns.
  • Monitoring of complaints, appointments and general information queries within a single system.
  • Automatic assignment of requests to each responsible agency.
