Provincial & municipal monitor

Polpo’s Province and Municipality Dashboard is the only way to easily, quickly, and automatically track all provinces and a growing number of municipalities.

Monitor all provinces
and a growing number of
30+ Dutch municipalities

 Whether it’s council or assembly information, you’ll find it all in one clear dashboard. With saved search queries, you stay informed about political developments on the topics that matter to you. With precise filter options, you only receive updates that are relevant to you.

Intelligent Filter Options

In the Polpo Province and Municipality Dashboard, you can precisely set which provinces and municipalities you want to monitor, ensuring you never receive irrelevant information. For example, want to receive all motions and amendments from the municipality of Amstelveen combined with all publications from the province of North Holland? With Polpo, this can be arranged with just one click per theme.

24/7 Monitoren

With the Polpo dashboard, you can create and save search queries. Enter your topic, click save, and choose whether you want to receive email notifications. Frequency options include immediate, daily, and weekly updates, tailored to your needs. From there, Polpo automates everything, so you never miss a relevant update.

Documents

Polpo monitors council and assembly information from provinces and municipalities. This includes details on meetings, announcements from councils, events, council questions, motions, amendments, decisions, reports, incoming documents, attachments, and much more.

Analyses

Polpo provides useful functionalities to help you quickly understand your topics and documents. The trend analysis shows how often and when your topic is discussed by provinces and municipalities. The activity monitor reveals which stakeholders, such as industry associations, companies, advisory bodies, and more, are most associated with your themes. Within documents, you can identify related information and locate where your topic is mentioned in the text. This saves you time reading lengthy documents.

Newsletter Module

The newsletter module lets you create lists to store important updates with added notes. This helps you build a personal archive in Polpo of your most critical dossiers, containing only the updates you wish to keep. You can also quickly turn a list into a newsletter that can be emailed. Add notes to Polpo updates or include your own updates to keep your stakeholders informed quickly and easily.

Customers stories

Polpo clients are happy to share their experiences with the Polpo dashboard. Read below to see how Polpo helps them in their daily work.

"What really helps us is that we can create specific search queries for healthcare-related topics and see the results of these searches daily. It’s a great feature that whenever CZ is mentioned in a political context, we receive it directly in our mailbox."
Arjen Zwaan
Reputatiemanager, CZ Group
"With Polpo, you suddenly become the best-informed. Members of Parliament sometimes forward something to us two or three days later, while we had already received those documents through Polpo. Polpo is useful for individual cases. Additionally, Polpo gives you a strategic advantage compared to other parties that do not use it."
Rijk van Walsem
Manager Public Affairs, Municipality of Leiden
"For us, you offer a new way of monitoring, for example, because you use artificial intelligence, unlike more traditional monitoring systems. What I personally find especially great is the user-friendliness: if I want to adjust a search query, I can easily do it myself."
Anne-Marie Frissen
Beleidsadviseur, Bouwend Nederland
