THE CHALLENGE

Fragmented tools, limited visibility

As demands on the City of Lethbridge’s 311 services grew, the existing platform presented limitations in flexibility and long-term support. The system was built on earlier Dynamics components and third-party tools, which made enhancements and updates less efficient. Moving to a modern, Microsoft-native platform enabled the City to improve reliability, support future growth, and better serve its community of more than 100,000 residents.
"The existing platform presented limitations in flexibility and long-term support."

A modern, secure, and scalable platform

Upzoids implemented UpCITY 365 with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service and contact centre to deliver a unified, cloud-based platform, accelerating the journey of their existing products. The new system centralizes all agent activity into a single workspace and introduces smart request routing, automated workflows, and integrated telephony. Enhanced out-of-the-box reporting from Dynamics 365 Customer Service Workspace and Contact Centre, with pre-built Power BI dashboards, now provide real-time and historical insights into call volumes, chatbot interactions, and agent availability. The platform ensures consistent data visibility, strengthened reporting, and the flexibility to grow with the city’s evolving demands, replacing the legacy system with a more secure and scalable solution.
