This is going to be a great thing for us to use to get more out of our business. Right now we do not accept cards and cannot do anything online, so this is going to bring us out of the stone age and I am pretty excited to see how this goes for us.
How easy it is to navigate, we do not have it up and running yet, but I am very excited to use it.
We have not done a launch yet, and are still in the planning stages, but so far everything is very user friendly and I have not found anything I do not like about it.

Excellent program and every city should be using it.
Smart Gov is very versatile for a municipality
It would be great if Smart Gov's made it easier to create reports. Working in city government has its challenges and data reports change daily.

SmartGov is a great program overall, and it allows us to operate day to day. I've seen improvements just in the last two years that I've been using it, and I look forward to how it will continue to develop!
SmartGov is relatively intuitive, and easily allows me and my department to upload documents for case files. We are moving to mostly digital case files, and SmartGov allows us to store our records. The program is easy to navigate for day to day tasks.
There are some cons to the software, such as when opening uploaded documents (you have to download each document, which can be a cumbersome process when you have a case with dozens of photos). A document preview would help with this immensely! I think SmartGov would be greatly improved if it offered a reminder feature in Code Enforcement (like Permitting does) so we can set it to alert us when a deadline...

My overall observation is many updates are not being managed by SmartGov and the City is having to go out on their own and handle updates it seems SmartGov should be doing. We need better assistance and clarity from SmartGov as well as the timing with the actual assistance not just a response, but actual assistance.
Every file is accounted for and can be updated as information is added from all departments within the City.
The return on IT assistance is very slow. I would like to have the cases set-up where I can add a due date and it notifies me in the queue, however I was told this would incur extra fees when all government programs I have used offer this as a part of the software. It is an essential part of keeping up with each case.
Hi Kash! We really value your feedback and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss it more deeply with you. Would you please reach out to support@brightlysoftware.com so we can help?

I don't have the words to explain the overall experiences with this software. It works for us. But we are small compared to others.
Everything is a learning experience though.
When you renew a contractors license shouldn't it auto generate or add the expiration date, for the contractor, in all places.
