April 26, 2027: Federal WCAG deadline for cities of 50,000+ is coming. Is your 311 app ready? See how Spot Mobile is ready →
Spot Mobile 311 and field work, on your systems

The standard for 311, reimagined.

We connect residents and field crews to the systems cities already run — through native mobile apps, a web portal, and an integration layer built for municipal infrastructure. Powering 311 since 2009, from Boston and San Francisco to Chicago and Calgary.

Works with Verint, Salesforce, Esri, Motorola CSR, Maximo and more — or on its own.

The integration layer

Modern mobile and web, on top of the systems you already trust.

Spot Cloud is the integration layer connecting the systems your city already relies on—CRM, GIS, asset management, and work order platforms. It indexes millions of cases for fast search, handles every photo, and serves both to every app. It also takes the real-time load of modern digital services—high-volume reads, routing, and field dispatch—so your systems of record don't have to. No CRM behind your 311? Spot Workers runs the work on its own.

Your system of record stays. Residents and crews get a modern way to use it.

Why Spot Mobile

Six things cities get from Spot Mobile.

Accessibility-First

Built for accessibility. Required by law.

Independently evaluated on iOS and Android. Review the reports.

Every Language, Every Resident

Your city's app, in your residents' language.

Reporting in 20+ supported languages.

AI-Powered Reporting

Snap a photo or describe the issue. AI fills in the rest.

Assist suggests request types. Residents confirm.

Spot Tags

Scan any asset. Report the right issue. No app.

Scan a tagged asset. Report without an app.

Platform-Native

Rebuilt native on every channel.

Built native for iOS and Android, not a web wrapper.

News+ Channel

Push news. Share resources. Help residents find it all.

City updates and service information, inside your reporting app.

Spot Reporters

Every resident can report. In any language. On any device.

Residents report from the city app, the web portal, or a Spot Tag on the asset itself — in their own language, with VoiceOver and TalkBack support. AI suggests the request type from a photo or description and fills in the details; residents confirm, then get updates as the report moves through your workflow.

  • AI suggests the request type from a photo or description; residents confirm
  • 20+ languages with automatic translation
  • Tested with VoiceOver, TalkBack, and external keyboard navigation
  • Spot Tags — scan a QR code on the asset, no app needed
  • Web portal mirrors full app functionality
  • News+ for city communications

Cities like Boston and Calgary are already live.

“Calling feels like complaining, reporting feels like helping.”

— Heather S., Boston

Spot Workers

Take the queue to the field. Close the job where it happens.

Crews see their queue on a live map, take the job, document it with photos and close it from the field. Supervisors get a web portal with map, list and queue filters. Spot Workers runs on your CRM or work-order system — or on its own if you don't have one.

  • Reports arrive with the type the resident confirmed and the details filled in
  • Real-time task assignment and status updates
  • Faceted filtering by type, status, assignee, queue
  • Photo documentation and completion notes
  • Web portal for supervisors and desktop users

San Francisco Public Works crews spent 20% less time per task.

Transportation

Signals, road repairs, sign replacements — tracked from report through resolution with photo documentation.

Parking

Citations, complaints, and enforcement zones — all managed from mobile in real time.

Parks & Rec

Playground inspections, trail repairs, facility maintenance — same platform residents use to report.

Accessibility, audited

The deadline moved. The requirement did not.

On April 20, 2026, DOJ extended the ADA Title II compliance dates by one year. The rule still requires cities to make their apps accessible. Access Armada manually evaluated Spot Mobile's iOS and Android apps against WCAG 2.2 A and AA, including VoiceOver, TalkBack, and external keyboard testing.

Cities 50,000+
April 26, 2027

Updated Title II deadline for large municipalities. The extension buys time, not exemption.

Cities under 50,000 · Special districts
April 26, 2028

Updated deadline for smaller municipalities and special districts. Get ahead of procurement cycles. Cities like Brookline, MA already run Spot Mobile.

Partners

We work with partners of every kind.

Platform vendors resell Spot Mobile as the white-labeled mobile and web front end for their CRM, GIS or work-order platform. Resellers bring it to the cities they already serve. Integrators connect it through Spot Cloud and Open311. You keep the city relationship; we keep the apps current.

  • White-label iOS, Android and web
  • Open311 and GraphQL APIs
  • Integrated with city backends since 2009

Since 2009

Seventeen years of building for cities.

In 2009 Connected Bits built Boston's Citizens Connect, the app WIRED called the future of 311. Seventeen years later, Spot Reporters and Spot Workers run in cities across North America, from Boston and San Francisco to Calgary and Edmonton.

Small team, long tenure, deep specialization. When you call us, you reach the people who built the product.
