Empowering the Crowd
• Employees can capture the exact service request location through the Global Position System (GPS) receiver built into their Smartphone.  The location can be used immediately to create a service request or stored in a location catalog for later use.

• Employees can also capture and attach a photograph to the service request in real-time or select a previously taken photograph from the smartphone’s photo library.

• Employees can additionally provide text comments and/or contact information as optional information to include with each service request, as well as review the current status of previously submitted service requests and view the location of all active service requests for the selected Jurisdiction.
