1. Does it unify all channels?
Requests from phone, WhatsApp, social media, web forms, e-mail and SMS should land in one system; separate lists create duplicates and lost requests.

How to Choose the Best Call Center Software for Municipalities: 8 Criteria
8 criteria for choosing municipal call center and complaint management software: channels, task management, CİMER and e-Devlet, PBX, on-premise, KVKK and reporting.
2. Can requests become department tasks?
Good municipal software assigns each request to the right directorate or field team as a task and tracks the owner and target time.
3. CİMER and e-Devlet integration
Bringing CİMER and e-Devlet applications into the same record removes separate screens. ulakBELL integrates with both.
4. Existing PBX and municipal software
Integration with PBXs such as Avaya, Cisco and Mitel and municipal software such as Universal, Vadi and Saysis protects existing investment.
5. On-premise option
For municipalities that keep citizen data in-house, an on-premise install matters; ask whether AI components also run inside.
6. KVKK and information security
ISO 27001, data stored in Turkey and consent record management are minimum requirements.
7. Does the AI do real work?
Ask to see voice greeting, answering frequent questions and topic/tone-based routing in the demo.
8. Can you measure it?
Average resolution time, overdue requests and distribution by neighbourhood and topic should be visible live. Record your current values before choosing so you can compare after the switch.
