From our customers

"Our team utilizes Hamlet to efficiently monitor public hearings in multiple jurisdictions, eliminating the need to send team members to planning commission or city council meetings.

"I wanted a more efficient way to understand what’s happening in areas where we plan new developments, without tracking every city individually or navigating antiquated, unreliable websites. With Hamlet Haystack, we can monitor everything from a 10,000-foot view, know what’s going on, and if there’s something we need to dig deeper into."

"Haystack allows you to have a broader, more comprehensive view of what’s going on. Having a sense of how commissioners are feeling, you can determine: ‘What conversations do I need to be having? Who do I need to follow up with? How does this information shape what is happening at the site?’ Haystack creates the impetus for conversations you might have otherwise missed."
