Delivering public services across vast distances

Local governments in the Northwest Territories face a complex mix of challenges: limited infrastructure, small teams, high service expectations, and vast distances between communities. Whether you're operating in Yellowknife or a fly-in-only hamlet, service coordination is difficult.

  • Decentralized request management

    Without a shared system, service requests are managed via sticky notes, spreadsheets, or inboxes—leading to delays and missed follow-ups.

  • Infrastructure limitations

    Many communities have limited bandwidth or digital infrastructure, making complex on-premise systems unfeasible.

  • Staffing constraints

    With small administrative teams doing the work of many, there's little time for manual tracking, reporting, or citizen updates.

  • Lack of service visibility

    It’s hard to know what’s happening in real time—who's handling what, which requests are open, and how long resolution is taking.

  • Geographic isolation

    Distance makes it difficult for departments to coordinate across communities, and traditional systems don’t support that kind of collaboration.

  • Growing citizen expectations

    Residents—especially younger generations—expect digital access, faster service, and more accountability from their local government.

Discover Civio: A simple, powerful platform for citizen service delivery

Civio, created by Gestisoft and powered by Microsoft Power Platform, helps municipalities in the Northwest Territories streamline citizen request management—even with small teams and minimal infrastructure.

It’s secure, cloud-based, and built specifically for the way public sector teams work in rural and remote contexts. Civio helps to centralize citizen requests from phone, web and in-person interactions, route and track requests automatically, monitor performance and trends in real time, eliminate paperwork and duplicated effort, report easily to leadership or funding agencies and access the system anywhere with an internet connection.

Distance does not have to mean separate. Thanks to technology, communities can better communicate. And that is where success lies for a thriving community – a clear, transparent and efficient communication. Citizens want municipalities to hear their concerns and act swiftly and accordingly.


With that in mind, Civio is the perfect digital tool for municipalities in Northwestern Territories. Why? Because it simplifies the management, assignment and resolution of citizen requests, while improving transparency and preventing errors. Want to know more about Civio or Gestisoft? Or both?
