Before starting up our community work, we looked for a workable system to easily match the supply and demand of citizens. Hoplr proved this surprisingly fast. In a short period of time, many citizens have become a member of their digital neighbourhood. This confirms the necessity of a neighbourhood platform to enhance the sense of belonging. Hoplr helps us to make Olen a warm and caring municipality.Read the case study of Olen

Hoplr is a very useful platform. We are able to inform the citizens of Ghent and Destelbergen more easily when something changes in the garbage collection rounds. In recent months we have been eager to use this, for example during the heavy snowfall in December. We often receive positive reactions from Hoplr users.

We launched a number of ideas from the policy memorandum via our neighbourhood platform Hoplr. 25% of all hoplr users participated. The statements were read 34,721 times, 1,831 votes were cast and 301 responses were received across the 10 statements. On top we got another 33 policy suggestions. The first part of our participation process on the 2020-2025 policy memorandum has already been successful.Read the case study of Boechout
We launch your region’s network from start to finish, with a guaranteed reach from 10 up to 15% of all households during the first weeks after launch. Neighbourhoods continue to grow organically.
We take care of reach, support and development. That doesn't only translate into fewer costs and worries; it will save you time as well.
We offer one integrated Service Dashboard with modules for all different departments. This allows for more transparency and synergy in the workplace.
Hoplr has its own team of developers. That way, we can offer both rapid anticipation and custom work.
You can count on us for all community building, support and curation - 24/7. No fuss, no worries.
Community building is crucial for community care, inclusion and citizen participation. By bringing neighbours together, we can stimulate real life contact, involvement and cohesion.
Neighbours meet each other, share items, post messages about security and start initiatives. View the neighbourhood platform on www.hoplr.com.
You talk to friends on Facebook, you post pictures on Instagram, you meet your neighbours on Hoplr.
My thanks for this amazing site. As a volunteer for the national health service, this site is very useful to me. It's a good way to meet neighbours and offer help.
This is a wonderful initiative! Surely, there are many isolated people. This contact could mean a lot to them.
So far it's really a valuable asset to the neighbourhood and I have already communicated with people I otherwise would not have met. I'm very happy with it.
I have a muscular disorder and may be in need of a good neighbour for some small job I'm not able to do anymore. Though maybe I will be able to help someone myself! Amazing!
