How it works

Three simple steps to more transparency.

1

Submit a request

Citizens submit their request online – simply and intuitively.

2

Review & respond

The administration reviews and moderates requests directly in the platform.

3

Show progress

Everyone sees the current status – transparent and traceable.

Participation in real time

Understand what moves your municipality.

decidio doesn't just show individual submissions — it makes developments visible: topics, activity, processing status and sentiment at a glance.

Participation becomes well-founded decisions.

The administration sees early which topics concern residents, which submissions are piling up and where communication matters most.

No one is left out

Digital participation doesn't reach everyone. Decidio closes the gap with analog and assisted channels.

Analog reply forms

Residents respond on paper – answers are captured and validated like digital submissions.

Assisted participation

Staff or relatives enter answers on someone's behalf – with a full audit trail.

Postal token delivery

Personalized access codes by letter enable secure participation even without an email address.

ROI calculator

What does decidio bring to your municipality?

With just a few inputs, estimate how many submissions are bundled digitally and how much processing time your administration can save.

Your starting point

Adjust the values to your municipality. The results update automatically.

20,000 inhabitants

The larger the municipality, the more submissions typically arise per year.

3 channels

Email, phone, paper, in-person visits or specialist systems often create media breaks.

40 per month

This includes reports, tips, questions, complaints and participation contributions.

18 minutes

Through central capture, status, templates, responsibilities and transparent responses.

Your potential impact

Example calculation based on your inputs. Actual values depend on processes and usage.

Assumption: The calculation uses an internal hourly rate of €35 and models only direct processing time. Additional effects such as trust, transparency and fewer follow-up queries are not priced in.
