As a city leader, it can feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
And that weight gets heavier every day…
You used to be able to keep track by polling your trusted sources - your department heads and community leaders were your eyes and ears.
Not anymore…
The pace of the modern city is faster and more complex than ever.
You’re getting blindsided by events that spring up out of nowhere - and suddenly you’re under-resourced, misallocated, underprepared…
You need a new way to get your finger on the pulse of your city. To understand and anticipate the needs of your community and solve your top of mind challenges before they become headlines…
So that Maya doesn’t trip on the sidewalk on her way to church. So that Leila isn’t stranded by a water main break this morning. So that you can sleep at night.
“But we have all the data - if only we could use it!”
Your city generates a lot of data. But so much of it is messy and poorly organized. Even when you are able to leverage the data, the process takes weeks or months. And by the time the report is finished, the crisis has either passed, or worse, mushroomed.
So most of the time, your data just sits there, doing nothing for nobody.
Until now.
Metrograph Makes Sense
of Your Signal
The modern dashboard for city government starts with a map of your structured data, starting with your 311 calls. We’ll build upon a layered view of where your city is at, from community services to emergency services. Transportation to telecommunication. Potholes to firehose.
With Metrograph you can finally keep track of where the pain is, when to escalate, and over time, how to develop economies of scale so you get better as you go. Once you understand what you’re looking at, you’ll know when a coordinated response is necessary.
Managing Proactively Instead of Reactively
And what if your map showed you not only what happened last month or last year, or what just happened, but what was going to happen? Metrograph provides early signal detection to get you out in front of the game. By combining data from online conversations, weather and traffic forecasts, and open metrics in your community, we create an advisory layer on top of your map.
Imagine being able to see beyond the problem in front of you, to a forecast of where it’s going. So you can make an informed decision while there’s still time, instead of waiting for a departmental report that’s only going to show up after the fact.
You Can Do This!
It’s true that this kind of intelligence was once only the realm of large cities and enterprises. But recent advances in technology now enable smaller cities to achieve big results.
You do carry a heavy burden.
But it doesn’t have to weigh you down.
