- Interactive Heatmaps: Simply drop a pin on a map to leave geolocalised feedback
- Emails and News feed: Use both to share project updates

Commonplace: an introduction
Testimonials
"During the implementation process, the guidance we received from Commonplace was exceptional. Having a dedicated Account Manager supported us to become knowledgeable product owners and confidently partner with the wider council teams. Central to this was the free, unlimited training for all teams, for the duration of the contract."
Working with Commonplace to adapt the system for use in Wales has been really straightforward and efficient. They have understood the statutory needs for accessibility and language parity and have been flexible and accommodating to ensure our requirements were met.
The Heatmap was a brilliant way of getting people to tell us what they thought with as broad a brush as possible… I think being able to put a pin in the map and just write what you thought broke down a communication barrier for a lot of people.
