Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Jackson Township recognized the value of cloud-based government management, and selected an Unlimited account.
Challenge
Having relied on paper and a server-based system to process and deliver services, and facing the prospect of keeping employees out of their offices during the pandemic, Jackson officials realized that operations and business continuity would be severely impacted without rapid digital transformation.

Solution
After accessing GovPilot’s ten free modules made available during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jackson’s forward-thinking officials decided to proceed with GovPilot’s full suite of cloud-based modules.
Over the course of six weeks, GovPilot rapidly onboarded thirty critical modules including a public facing GIS map with custom data layers and a digital Report-a-Concern feature, Public Open Records Requests, No-knock Permitting, and Receipting and Expense Tracking which among other things will be utilized by Jackson to track COVID-19 related expenditures for FEMA reimbursement.
- The Clerk’s team was enthusiastic during on-boarding and took advantage of GovPilot’s Best Government Practice templates across their new modules. Jackson’s clerks now have a clear understanding of their workflows and access to seamless real-time reporting.
