QUICK IMPLEMENTATION
In just 4 months, we’ll be ready to invite your residents to download a mobile app dedicated to them, created by their City. Even at the initial stage, it will include 10 modules with advanced functionality. During this time, we’d be happy to get involved in the naming process for the app, ensuring that residents feel it's a tool designed with them in mind and that they’re included in its creation.
After launch, we will work together with you to analyse all statistics and user behaviours in order to gradually develop the app, expanding it with the most needed features and additional modules, either from our existing offer or newly created in collaboration with you.
The advantages of this solution are:
- its quick implementation,
- low cost,
- comprehensive functionality.

MODULES IN QUICK IMPLEMENTATION
1. NEWS
Information in the News module will be presented within categories and guidelines consistent with the content displayed on the City’s website. The retrieval of News from existing services and its display in the app will be fully automated, meaning that text, images, and multimedia files will be available in the same version on both the City’s website and the mobile app.
2. LET'S FIX IT
We propose the implementation of the full functionality of the Let's Fix Ii Module, which enables the reporting of faults in the City. The advantage of our solution is the administrative panel that allows for the verification of the status of a report and an automated process for coordinating the report (for example, if Employee A is unable to respond within a specified time due to an unforeseen event and absence from work, we automatically notify Employee B of the delay, and then Employee C). The person making the report will also be notified of any status changes, the reasons for the inability to carry out repairs (e.g., ownership issues), and the completion of the task.
3. TRANSPORT
The functionality of the module includes an option to select the nearest bus stop, along with detailed information about the planned timetable. An additional option allows users to choose any bus stop to view the timetable information.
4. ANIMAL SHELTER
The module is designed to be self-service—information is retrieved from the system used at the animal shelter, provided that such an option is made available by the administrator. If the system is unavailable, we offer the option to use our solution. Residents receive text information and photos of animals currently at the shelter that have recently arrived (animals that their owners are likely searching for), as well as animals available for adoption.
5. WASTE
We present all the information regarding the waste segregation system currently available on the websites prepared by the City. For residents of single-family households, after selecting their district / area of residence, they will be able to enable PUSH notifications in the application regarding the collection of specific waste fractions (e.g., on the day prior).
6. WEATHER
Presenting the most important weather information on the day of checking, along with forecasts for the following days. The module is fully automated. The information provided includes:
- temperature,
- wind speed,
- cloud cover,
- probability of precipitation,
- air quality (including visualisation relative to permissible standards),
- humidity,
- pressure,
- UV index.

7. CALENDAR
All events will be presented to the same extent as they are in the News / Events List section. Information in the mobile application will include text, images, and multimedia materials. The process will be fully automated, requiring no input from the city staff.
8. SUPPORT
A person seeking help or support by answering posed questions is directed to the appropriate centres/institutions/organisations offering the relevant type of assistance. The development of the module must be preceded by the creation of a knowledge base, which will require the involvement of city staff to ensure that the information presented to those in need is as up-to-date and relevant as possible.
9. ALERT
The system allows city staff to create and communicate their own content. Users have the option in the settings to consent to receiving PUSH notifications for specific categories. The module should be used for emergencies or events that may be significant to residents (e.g., planned power outages, etc.).
10. QUIZZES
A functionality that allows for the organisation of quizzes about the City (e.g., as part of competitions) or public consultations to select the best solution. The module's functionality enables the collection of opinions or votes while maximising protection against repeated participation in the survey by the same user.
COSTS
The cost of Quick Implementation and maintenance of the application consists of two parts:
ACTIVATION PACKAGE – This includes the initial setup, configuration, and deployment of the application. It may cover tasks such as customisation, integration with existing systems, and initial training.
LICENCE – These cover the ongoing costs associated with the use of the application, including software licences, content licences, and any other third-party services that the application requires to operate.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP MODEL
Every collaboration offer with a city wishing to build an extended version of a mobile application from scratch, or to modify an existing application, is tailored to the specific needs of that city. We work together on the offer and the terms of cooperation in 6 steps:
1. MEETING
2.PROPOSAL OF THE FINAL PRODUCT
3. ESTABLISHING THE DETAILED TERMS OF COOPERATION AND FORMING A TEAM
4. WORK ON THE APPLICATION
5. OFFICIAL LAUNCH
6. MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT

1 STEP
The core element of our offer is an invitation to a meeting. This can be either online or in person at the local authority's office. Based on our experience, we know that a conversation about a city’s mobile application takes between 30 to 60 minutes. During the meeting, we will cover:
- the results of research on city mobile applications, smart city solutions, and their users (we are experts in this field as we closely monitor analytical data every day and understand what residents care about);
- the functionalities and modules of the Happy City App.
We will also propose a process for analysing the local authority's needs and will spend a lot of time listening.
2 STEP
The result of our work must always be a city mobile application that is easy to navigate and use, with functionality tailored to the residents of a specific city. This requires a multi-faceted design approach and a process that will involve both the local authority and its residents. After our meeting, we will present a proposal for the final product, as well as the journey we can undertake together, including its key stages.
3 STEP
In the event of a decision to collaborate, we will formalise it by establishing a work schedule, outlining commitments, and introducing our working team, along with a project manager dedicated to the specific implementation for the city. This is a solution we have successfully used before and it guarantees both sides the quickest and most effective communication possible.
4 STEP
This stage will largely depend on the agreements we’ve previously made together. It may include conducting quantitative or qualitative research with residents, testing, data integration, and a joint effort to create the best possible version of the dedicated city mobile application. It’s also the time for graphic design work and choosing a name.
5 STEP
We enjoy celebrating important events for both us and the cities we work with. After successfully completing all the operational tests and receiving approval for the app, our PR team will propose a series of activities aimed at promoting the new city mobile app. We like to think outside the box and surprise people, which has proven to result in the highest number of downloads for our products.
6 STEP
After the implementation, we will provide ongoing support services to ensure the app functions correctly and to respond promptly to any issues that may arise. In coordination with the local government, we will continuously adapt the app to meet needs identified through data analysis and feedback from its users.
COSTS
The cost of implementing the application in a Strategic Partnership Model is determined based on the selected modules, existing systems, and specific integration requirements. Pricing is finalised during the proposal stage to tailor the solution to the unique needs and technical environment of the city.
