What it is
A government complaint-management app is a web tool for councils and public bodies to record citizen complaints and service concerns — from missed services to staff conduct and policy issues — and manage each through acknowledgement, investigation, and response with a full audit trail. It gives case officers a defensible, searchable register that stands up to scrutiny.

Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for government.

Frequently asked questions
Does it integrate with our existing case-management or CRM system?+
No. Kleap builds a standalone web app on its own database with no integration to council CRM or case systems. It is a self-contained complaints register you run in the browser, so details are entered into the record directly.
Can citizens submit complaints online themselves?+
Yes. You can publish a public intake form so residents log complaints directly, or keep it internal for staff to enter phone and counter complaints. Either way the case lands in your dashboard.
Will it automatically escalate or email when a statutory deadline is missed?+
No. There is no auto-escalation or automated email. Response due dates are stored and overdue cases are flagged on the dashboard so an officer can act — the app does not send reminders on its own.
Can we keep a full audit trail and control who sees each case?+
Yes. Every case carries a status history and resolution notes, and logins/roles let you scope access so officers only see the cases relevant to their service area.
