The five workflows every industry shares
The same five run in all 27 industries. What changes for government is the overlay: the records, the stages and the words. How it works.
The Government overlay: Constituents, Cases, Requests, Cases, Service Requests. Stages: Request Received → Under Review → Additional Info Needed → In Process → Approval Pending → Resolved / Closed.
Intake and triage
Every call, text, email and form becomes a request on the constituent's record, with who, why and the next step. A fixed ladder of rules sorts it before any model is asked.
Touches: Opens the case at Request Received.
Follow-up
Moves each case forward and writes down why each move happened. Chases the cases that have gone quiet, and stops when a person says stop.
Touches: Request Received to Resolved / Closed, one stage at a time.
Scheduling
Books the visit, call or appointment on the calendar and on the case, sends the confirmation and the reminder, and reschedules when the constituent asks.
Touches: The calendar and the case.
Quoting
Prepares the quote from your price book or template, sends it once a person approves it, and follows up until it is answered.
Touches: Requests and the case.
Reporting
Each day, what each agent did and what it proposed, built from the log of every action it took. Nothing is reported that was not recorded.
Touches: The record, read back to you.
