Digital Governance: PQR System for Magangué

Digital Governance: PQR System for Magangué

March 1, 2022

Modernizing Citizen-Government Interaction

In the heart of Bolívar, the Magangué City Hall faced a mounting challenge: managing the influx of thousands of physical petitions, complaints, and claims (PQRs) from citizens. The manual process was slow, prone to errors, and lacked transparency. We stepped in to build a PQR Software solution that would not only digitize this process but fundamentally change how the local government interacts with its people.

The Bureaucratic Bottleneck

Before our intervention, a simple petition could take weeks to process, often getting lost in a sea of paperwork. Citizens had no way to track their requests, leading to frustration and mistrust. The administration needed a robust, secure, and efficient system to handle the volume and legal requirements of public service.

The Solution: A Flutter-Powered Platform

We chose Flutter Web to deliver a highly responsive and consistent experience across all devices. The platform was designed with two main users in mind: the citizen seeking answers and the public servant needing efficient tools.

Key Achievements

  • Handling Scale: The system successfully manages over 5,000 PQRs monthly, proving its stability and robustness under heavy load.
  • Automated Validation: We implemented intelligent validation rules that ensure every request meets the necessary legal criteria before it enters the workflow, saving countless hours of manual review.
  • Real-Time Dashboard: Decision-makers now have access to a live dashboard showing the status of all requests, bottlenecks, and performance metrics.

Impact on Governance

The deployment of this software had immediate and tangible effects:

  • Transparency: Citizens can now track their requests in real-time, fostering a new sense of trust in their local government.
  • Efficiency: Response times were drastically reduced, as the system automatically routes requests to the correct department and alerts officials of impending deadlines.
  • Regulatory Compliance: The system ensures that the City Hall adheres to strict legal timelines for responding to citizens, significantly improving regulatory compliance scores.

Technical Excellence

  • Framework: Built with Flutter Web for a unified codebase and high performance.
  • Integration: Seamlessly integrated with existing government legacy systems to ensure data continuity.
  • Security: Implemented bank-grade security protocols to protect sensitive citizen data.
