Effective communication between local councils and their residents is vital for addressing challenges and resolving issues. Collective Communities is an initiative specifically designed to facilitate this, fostering a harmonious relationship between residents and their local authorities.
Collective Communities gives councils a connected, accessible channel to empower residents, streamline operations and foster cleaner, better-informed communities.
Collective Resident’s Portal provides citizens with an instant view of all their waste and recycling services. The live, on-screen service calendar has real-time updates that track the completion stage of each waste collection, keeping your residents informed and engaged.
Collective’s Resident Portal bridges the gap between councils and communities to encourage positive efforts towards a cleaner, safer environment that residents can be proud of.
✓ Perfectly Branded for Your Authority
On mobile and within your gov.uk domain, Portal is WCAG 2.2 compliant and branded exactly like your main website.
✓ Bins and Collection Dates
Residents can clearly see which bins they have, and when they will be collected.
✓ Missed Bin Reports
Residents can report missed bins with a click – no forms, instant answers.
✓ Seamless Integration
Single-sign-on support for both your staff and residents and seamless integration with other channels – residents can hop from webforms to waste portal to voice bot and back again, with a consistent, low friction experience.
Collective Newsfeed is an optional module for the Resident’s Portal, giving waste and recycling teams a new and exciting way to contact their users quickly, effectively and at a very low cost.
✓ Instant Information and Push Notifications
Newsfeed gives residents instant information about their services, automatically. Newsfeed can send push notifications about live issues – missed bins, delayed routes and contaminated bins, directly to those affected.
Residents no longer have to check the website or call the council to find out what has happened.
✓ Targeted, Relevant Information
Newsfeed easily targets segments of your residents – e.g those without a garden subscription, areas of low presentation, assisted collections, getting the right messages to the appropriate audience every time.
