Its Android and iOS apps support inspections, report writing, photo capture, and remote access, including offline use, while the web platform supports broader management. CityReporter maps and manages mobile, linear, and point assets. Vehicle tools include real-time tracking, geofencing, and alerts when a vehicle does not return within a specified time. The software can integrate with financial systems, ERPs, and other operational systems. Listed safeguards include encryption protocols, two-factor authentication, role-based access controls, and regular backups. Noratek Solutions Inc. provides complimentary comprehensive training and ongoing support. The product is described as tailored to small and mid-sized communities and local governments. Pricing is on request and varies with municipality size, selected modules and features, customization, and additional services. A customer testimonial describes use of a free trial, but no duration or general trial terms are stated. CityReporter says it joined Cloudpermit’s online platform for local governments in February 2026.
