From a challenge...
The City of Antwerp wanted to centralise all social services across Antwerp and visualise them on an easy-to-use map. They wanted to provide both the citizens and service providers with a useful and accessible overview of all the available services in Antwerp.
...to a solution...
For this challenge, we integrated with a set of backend services at City of Antwerp. One integration is, of course, to fetch all different services. On top, additional integrations are made to allow admins to add additional metadata and configure the frontend, to use a Single Sign-on (SSO), to use central logging, etc. We centralised these integrations in a backend-for-frontend to make abstraction of a certain complexity and expose all data in a uniform way to the frontend application. The application is completely responsive which allows you to use it both on desktop and on mobile devices.
...with impact.
This interactive social map (and list) allows people to easily search for different social services in the city of Antwerp. With different types of search functions and filters, we enable the user to easily find specific services. All details per service are available in a neat and clear way. Users can also keep and edit a list of favorite services.
