Datascape CRM

Elevate council and community engagement.

Get a 360-degree view of your community, ensure the right teams are notified for quick issue resolution, automate staff processes and engage customers on any device or channel across all areas of the council.

With Datascape CRM, you have access to a complete suite of intuitive digital tools to engage your community while streamlining service delivery, providing a more personalised experience and having greater visibility across all community-council interactions.
