About
iWorQ Systems is a comprehensive, cloud-based software suite purpose-built for local government public works and community development departments. Since 2001, it has been the first web-based management solution for local governments, helping cities and counties streamline day-to-day operations through an intuitive, mobile-friendly platform. The platform spans two primary pillars: Public Works (work management, asset management, fleet management, pavement management, stormwater management, sign management, backflow/cross-connection prevention, water system management, FEMA reporting, and GIS Rest Services) and Community Development (permit management, code enforcement, planning and zoning, business licensing, rental property licensing, fire inspections, and a citizen engagement portal). All software is hosted on AWS GovCloud, ensuring regulated workloads and sensitive unclassified information are protected under strict U.S. compliance standards, with no international access. iWorQ's straightforward pricing model includes no per-seat licensing fees and bundles in free, unlimited support, training, and upgrades—making it accessible for agencies of all sizes. Field teams can access real-time updates on permits, inspections, and work orders from any device, enabling seamless office-to-field collaboration. With an emphasis on fast onboarding (typically a few weeks), world-class customer support, and over two decades of proven reliability, iWorQ is a trusted partner for government agencies looking to modernize operations, protect community data, and improve public service delivery.
