Mark-a-Spot

The Open Source Civic Issue Tracker

Manage citizen requests digitally.

From report to resolution – transparent for everyone.

Citizen Co-Production

The Reality

Why email and phone are no longer enough

Citizens expect digital services. Administrations struggle with fragmented channels and rising demands.

Too many channels

Phone, email, mail, social media – reports land everywhere, just not consolidated.

Black box for citizens

What happens to my report? Without transparency, frustration grows.

Manual assignment

Every report must be read, categorized, and forwarded. That takes time.

No analysis

Where do problems cluster? Without structured data, planning is guesswork.

Mark-a-Spot consolidates all channels, creates transparency, and delivers data for better decisions.
