Measurable outcomes

What municipal leaders achieve with 311Desk.

When citizens can find accurate answers themselves, ticket volume drops and satisfaction rises. 311Desk uses AI to turn your resolved 311 tickets into searchable help articles—automatically—so your help desk never falls behind again.

35%

Fewer tickets and calls

When citizens can't find answers they need and submit a ticket, an article draft is automatically created. Citizens find more answers online instead of calling or submitting tickets.

* Based on data from 50+ agencies after 12 months

+22%

Mobile-friendly experiences and search engine optimized content bring accurate, current articles to the top of every citizen search, getting them the right answers faster.

* Average CSAT from post-interaction surveys

Faster publishing

Your team reviews and approves articles instead of writing them from scratch. What used to take 2-3 days now takes 2 hours—from ticket resolution to published article.

* Compared to traditional manual article writing

The 311Desk Difference

Stop guessing what citizens need help with.

Traditional website CMS platforms and manual help centers force you to guess. 311Desk uses your actual 311 ticket data to deliver the right answers automatically.

Manual Help Centers

Staff writes articles based on intuition, not data. By the time content is approved and published, it's often outdated. You never really know if you're answering the right questions.

Guesswork Slow updates High effort

Website CMS (e.g. WordPress)

Great for static pages, but fails for service delivery. Content gets buried in PDF graveyards, site search is often frustrating, and there is zero connection to your actual 311 service requests.

Hard to search Static content No CRM sync

311Desk

Articles are auto-drafted from resolved tickets. Content mirrors the exact language citizens use in requests. As your 311 data evolves, your help center stays current automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about 311Desk.

Does this replace our city website?

No. 311Desk lives on a seamless subdomain (like help.yourcity.gov) and links directly from your main menu. It's a specialized help hub that works alongside your existing site, so no migration is required.

How accurate is the AI-generated content?

Very accurate—because AI drafts are based on your staff's actual ticket resolutions, not generic information. Every article requires your team's review and approval before going live, so you maintain complete control over accuracy and voice.

What if our CRM isn't listed?

We offer custom integrations for any 311 system with an API or data export. Most custom integrations are completed within 2-4 weeks. Contact us to discuss your specific CRM.

Can we customize the approval workflow?

Yes. Configure multi-level approvals, assign department-specific reviewers, set up auto-approval for low-risk updates, and customize notification preferences for your team.

How do you handle sensitive information?

We automatically filter PII (names, addresses, phone numbers) from tickets before generating content. You can also mark topics as confidential to exclude them from the knowledge base entirely.

How long does implementation take?

Most municipalities launch in 1-2 days. Smart import retrieves and organizes your existing content in hours, CRM integration is instant, and team training is typically completed in a single session.
