Once familiar with the application it is mostly user-friendly. Pros Map based. Data validated (e.g. selective lists). Cons 1\. Setting notifications and contact list. I'd rather push the notification to myself and use our internally maintained notification list since the contact list in Municipal511 does not appear to be maintained. 2. Road closure options can be confusing to select. It would be nice if there was a tiered entry process, e.g. i) what is the location, ii) what is the activity, iii) what is/are the traffic impact(s) (lane closure, full closure, detour, etc.), iv) schedule/timing. Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 16, 2024 Thanks Trevor for sharing your positive experience! It’s great to hear that the map-based interface and data validation features have been beneficial. We’re continuously working to enhance the user experience, and your feedback helps us identify areas for improvement, let's chat in detail. Thanks again! SO Steve O. Acting Commander Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic Product!" August 13, 2024 5.0 This App has been very useful for a situational awareness perspective for our Paramedic Duty Commanders as well aids in a central location for all road closures. This used to be stacks of faxed notices, now all live. Takes some effort to get all the other partners to buy in at the begining but its fantastic now. Pros The ability to have all information, multiple layers all in one place is fantastic. We have also taken advantage of the abilty to create emergency management exercise layers to simulate a diaaster event. Very useful. Cons Forgetting my password is annoying when you switch devices, but thats not a software problem. Can't think of anything specific i dont like off hand. Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 16, 2024 We're thrilled to hear that Municipal511 has been so useful for situational awareness and emergency management. We appreciate your continued support and are glad to see the positive impact it's had on your operations! JD Joshua D. Fire Chief Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not everything needs to be an email." August 13, 2024 4.0 511 is necessary but shows more data than I require. For instance, I receive closure notices for communities I do not serve. Pros The interactive map shows all closures. This is useful. Cons The emails are intrusively numerous. They are so common they are rarely reviewed. Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 16, 2024 Thanks Joshua for taking the time to share your feedback! We will reach out to schedule a time to see how we can make adjustment in your settings so you only receive the notifications and information relevant to you. We’ll be in touch shortly! MP Mandi P. Deputy Operations Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Municipal resource" August 19, 2024 5.0 Pros It's efficient, being able to schedule closings in advance is a great feature, user friendly. Cons That when the notice is issued the From is Transnomis, this confuses people on regular occasions as they are unaware of what the email actually contains, and often delete. Then contact us to say they were not in receipt of the road issue. It would be a great improvement for the email to be noted as from "Town of Petrolia Notifications" rather then "Transnomis Notifications" Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 26, 2024 Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you find the platform efficient and user-friendly, especially with the advance scheduling feature. I’ve passed your suggestion about customizing the "From" field in notifications to our product team, as they’re currently planning some improvements in that area. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will work on making this experience smoother for your recipients. NS Nicholas S. Director of Operations Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Director of Operations" August 13, 2024 4.0 positive Pros The convenience of notifying all parties about road closures and events Cons a little pushy with the new products Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 16, 2024 Thanks Nicholas! We're glad you like the notification feature. We appreciate your honesty about our new product communications and will adjust frequency accordingly! KS Khas S. Engineering GIS Technologist Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "NOTL M511 Review " August 16, 2024 5.0 Very happy with our overall experience and will continue to use the site. Pros 1) User friendly 2) Easy to access by all members of organization & public 3) Easy to communicate with different members about projects Cons Would like the option to manually type in locations of incidents - sometimes the address or length of road is not as accurate as we would like it to be. However this is not a deal breaker. Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 26, 2024 Thanks, Khas, for your review! We’re glad to hear you are happy with your Municipal511 experience. Manual entry option is already supported, Andrew will be sending you a screenshot with instructions on how to do it. Appreciate your feedback! KD Kirstley D. Administrative Assistant, Public Works Department Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Extremely useful platform that saves us time " August 16, 2024 4.0 Pros User friendly when adding an issue. Simple drop-downs and options Cons Cannot search a road name or address to help with mapping the location Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 26, 2024 Thanks Kirstley for sharing your positive experience! It’s great to hear our software has been great at saving you and your team time. Regarding the issue of not being able to search, our team will be in touch to help resolve that for you shortly. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback! FG Frank G. Manger of Transportation and Waste Management Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Oxford County - Transportation Division" August 14, 2024 5.0 My overall experience has been excellent, it is very easy to use Pros Provides public with access to road and traffic issues which is integrated with Waze Cons Users forget to end notices and some users are inconsistent with use Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 16, 2024 Glad to hear your experience has been positive Frank! Appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback! GM GWYNETH M. Public Works Operations Assistant Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Two Thumbs Up" August 14, 2024 5.0 I find it easy to use and like how email notifications are sent for overdue issues (ie. long-term construction and need to extend dates) Pros Ease of use, especially with editing issues, such as extending dates. Additionally the "last description" box in Entry Details. Cons I tend to just copy and paste the Entry Detail in section 3 to the Comments section. It seems redundant. Possibly have the system auto generate the comments from section 3 to Comments with the ability to edit/add other comments? Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 16, 2024 We’re glad you find Municipal511 easy to use, especially with editing issues and extending dates. Thanks for your suggestions regarding the Entry Details and Comments sections, we’ll make a note to discuss them further during our next check-in call. Thanks Gwyneth! JH Jackie H. Public Works Clerk Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good System" August 13, 2024 5.0 I think it's a pretty good system - It's very organized and user friendly Pros It's pretty easy to use Nice that it's step by step closure set up Cons I wish it would like to GPS Systems - Google Maps, Waze, other GPS Systems Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 16, 2024 Thank you for your thoughtful review! I'm glad to hear you find Municipal511 easy to use and appreciate the step-by-step closure setup. Our system currently does link to some popular GPS systems like Waze, Here and Tom Tom. We're always looking for ways to enhance our service, let's have a chat about this at our next check in meeting. Thanks Jackie! PN Peter N. Capital Projects Manager Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Project Manager" August 13, 2024 5.0 Well received by agencies and emergency services Pros The simplicity and large range of the system Cons Entanglement and messy mapping caused by plotting simple off-road maintenance activities (ie. roadside grass mowing, etc.) on Municipal511 along with major capital projects that actually can cause major traffic delays and disruption. Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 16, 2024 Thanks Peter for your feedback! We’ll look into improving how off-road maintenance is plotted to reduce mapping clutter. We’re glad to hear Municipal511’s simplicity and range are well-appreciated by other departments too! LK Lucas K. Manager of Road Operations Government Relations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Manager of Road Operations" August 19, 2024 5.0 Good experience. It creates automatic response and sends out an email to individual contacts or a group of people Pros How it creates an automated message with a few clicks of a button. Cons nothing that comes to light. Could make the creation of layers a bit easier Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 26, 2024 Thank you, Lucas, for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear that you find the automated messaging feature useful and that you've had a good experience with the platform. We appreciate your suggestion about making layer creation easier and will keep it in mind as we continue to enhance the system. If you have any more thoughts or ideas, feel free to share—we’re always looking to improve! RM Rebecca M. Engineering Technician Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Engineering Technician" August 14, 2024 5.0 Overall good experience and would recommend to others. Pros It is easy to notify everyone all at once and have it shown in driving apps which is very helpful for people that do not know the municipality. Cons I wish there was an app to make it easier to send out notifications on a mobile device. I also wish the map that is sent out in the emails was similar to the graphic shown on the website. Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 16, 2024 We’re glad you find the notification system helpful! Someone from our product team will reach out to chat more about your mobile experience! DG Dave G. Director of Operations Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinal" August 13, 2024 5.0 The overall experience has been positive however somewhat limited. It's only been the last couple of months that we have made a concerted effort to place activities and events on municipal 511 Pros The ease and flexibility of entering an event. Cons There is no mobile app and a singular password login Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 16, 2024 Thanks Dave! We're glad to hear that you find the system flexible and easy to use for entering events. While we don’t have a dedicated mobile app, Municipal511 is fully accessible on any mobile device with an internet connection.

Customer Service and Administrative Assistant Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "511 Review " August 6, 2024 4.0 I'm still learning the program but my overall experience has been good! The Support Staff are very nice and reach out if there are any concerns or updates on any current closures or road work being done. Pros I appreciate that it's very easy to edit pre-existing closures or road work with minimal difficulty, and it has a very user-friendly set up, so you can find what you're looking for easily. Cons It can sometimes be difficult to go back and change things during the initial creation of a road closure/road work once you select "continue" - where it then takes you to the "notice" page just before you submit the road changes. It sometimes doesn't seem like the changes take effect immediately or the response is delayed. Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 8, 2024 Haley, Thanks so much for your great review! I’m really happy to hear you find Municipal511 user-friendly and appreciate our support team’s efforts. Your feedback on the road closure creation process is super helpful. Andrew, our Product Director, will reach out to you soon to get more details and see how we can make things even better. RD Ryan D. Manager of Roads and Construction Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Municipal 511 Review" August 14, 2024 4.0 General very happy with the product. The mapping system is clear to visualize. Pros The visual update on projects in the area Cons Generic email notifications... it would be better if the email notification title identified the local municipality issuing the notice at the top of the notification, rather than Municipal511 - Transnomis Review Source Response from Transnomis Solutions August 16, 2024 Thanks Ryan for your feedback. We’ve passed your feedback about the notifications to our product team, as they’re currently planning some improvements in that area. LF Linda F. Public Works Administrative Assistant Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "MNBP 511 review " August 13, 2024 5.0 Pros very easy to use and understand.

Public Works Foreperson Government Relations Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Mulmur Township" August 14, 2024 4.0 Pros Multiple group notification to cover wide range of services with one click.
