| Purpose | Casework is a casework management platform for local councils that helps councillors track and resolve constituent issues and lets residents see work being done on their behalf. | Open Point brings community engagement and stakeholder relationship management together in one platform. |
Casework is designed for councillors, caseworkers, and councils, including parish, district, and county councils. It suits teams that want residents to submit issues and follow case progress.
Open Point suits public-sector and infrastructure organizations that need community feedback tools, stakeholder records, or both. It may be useful when teams want to configure fields, workflows, and branding for their needs.
