What our clients say

“We, as a municipality, work with a lot of contractors who spend minimal time, if any, in front of a computer. CitizenServe gets that. Because of their awareness and understanding to the fact that these contractors are out in the field as opposed to sitting at a desk, they’ve made the program EXTREMELY user-friendly. They’ve customized our program to fit our needs internally as well as the needs of our customers. We are constantly in contact with them; eliminating and adding fields, creating templates, and just asking simple questions. Sometimes we come up with ideas to improve the customer service (such as adding a phone app for contractors on-the-job, or creating a specific-type report), and they are receptive to these ideas, knowing that it would either improve work flow or customer satisfaction.
PS: The customer service is AWESOME! – I swear they respond to me before I’ve even hit the “send” button!!”

Kelly in Medway, MA

My office used citizenserve from 2003 to 2006.  After a long hiatus I finally was able to convince new management to return to citizenserve.  My staff and I couldn’t be happier.  We picked right up where we left off.  Julie and Jim were fantastic in getting us back up to speed, showing us what was new, and helping us with changes to reflect our new procedures.  It’s like dealing with good friends when we need support.
