mantau as a universal citizen and village app creates connection
The largest local group is simply all the citizens of a town or municipality. Mayors and municipal councils can now use mantau to establish a good and direct connection to them, revitalise "their community", keep all local residents better informed - and involve them in communication in the town and allow them to help shape community life.

Reaching and involving young and old citizens in the village
The quickest and easiest way to share the latest news, events and interesting facts with citizens, also ideal for important short-term information thanks to push notifications. The perfect addition to a city or municipality's website.
Involve all local groups
Under the umbrella of a city or municipality, all local groups, i.e. not only individual local communities and their citizens, but also local councils, political groups, fire brigades and daycare centres, can be "supplied" with mantau. Each group naturally remains self-contained and administratively independent; content is only accessible within the groups.
This enables a city or municipality to provide its citizens and groups with a modern app as a service that enables (confidential) collaboration within the groups, but also digital networking beyond this.
Offer local associations a working platform. Free of charge!
Voluntary work in the local area is promoted, and clubs and other groups can also use mantau for their internal cooperation, for community communication with members and for digitising processes (see practical example "Clubs").
The networking of all local associations can also be useful, for example for mutual support or joint projects.
Citizens' initiatives and neighbourhood support groups
mantau can serve as a platform for committed neighbours to support and strengthen each other. The "Requests" function in mantau is used to set up a local moderator or standby team.
Digitise and simplify processes. For everyone.
Thanks to the form editor, the application options are diverse, municipalities can get creative and easily digitise many processes.
One example: the rental and use of municipal property, such as the barbecue hut, community centre and marketplace, can be offered using the mantau form and booking times can be displayed in the diary.
Example: Defect notifier for citizens
Defect reporting apps are not new. However, the service is included with mantau, is quick to set up and costs nothing extra.
One form in mantau in the citizens' group is enough to receive information about defects in the local or urban area in a structured and transparent manner.
Citizens can send discovered defects in public spaces, such as litter, potholes or defective lamps, directly to their city or municipal administration and thus contribute to a positive city or town image and to maintaining the quality of life.
Gathering opinions and sentiment in the community
Surveys can be conducted among households at any time on specific topics or in general. Experience has shown that a high level of participation can be expected with this medium, as citizens can take part and answer questions conveniently via smartphone or computer with just a few clicks or taps.
Ideal for mayors or municipal councils and administrations.

The mantau app serves as an effective communication medium for the Goethe-Schule Höhr-Grenzhausen. It enables a quick and uncomplicated exchange between teachers, parents and extracurricular cooperation partners. Functions such as message transmission, form creation and feedback optimize the flow of information.
The user-friendly interface ensures that everyone involved can easily access important information, making communication transparent and efficient. mantau thus supports educational work and promotes active cooperation within the school.

Goethe Grundschule Höhr-Grenzhausen, School principal
As a daycare centre, we were looking for a suitable communication platform for parents, educators, the team and the provider for a long time. We found all this in mantau! The APP is ‘child's play’.
Thanks to the quick help and good co-operation with EXEC, problems and stumbling blocks are solved in a solution-oriented manner. Now we have more time for the important things again: PLAYING, LAUGHING, SINGING + EXPLORING WITH OUR KITA KIDS!

Kita Pusteblume, Höhr-Grenzhausen, mantau coordinator
With mantau, the municipality of Wirscheid has created a modern communication channel for its citizens. It allows us to reach many households reliably and quickly, particularly in a timely manner. We also use the app for our collaboration within the local council. For example, we used it to organise the elections and coordinate tasks relating to photo shoots, flyer creation and distribution in the town. Everyone got involved - and it was a great way to make work easier for us organisers. We are delighted - and the response from the residents has been consistently positive.
After receiving the green light from the local council, the extraordinarily extensive and rapid help from EXEC employees enabled me to promote the platform to our residents through publications and flyers, and the number of users has been growing steadily ever since. In addition to groups for citizen information, the local council, committees and working groups, we also offer our booking plan in mantau along with a form for renting our barbecue hut. This makes my voluntary work easier, as I can respond to enquiries from anywhere via my smartphone. I can only recommend mantau. We will continue to expand it in our community and I'm sure it will inspire many new users, young and old alike.
We now have tablets and smartphones in every children's group.
mantau ensures that information is passed on reliably and at short notice. Because things usually have to happen quickly, e.g. when a message arrives in the morning before the start and we have to reorganise quickly.
It was very important to me that it could be customised to our daycare centre. And that I was able to set it up myself - without IT specialists - in a short space of time.
mantau offers secure encryption using modern methods, meeting the requirements of the German Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - and is operated in a secure German data center.

Joining other people's groups is always free of charge. All you need to do is register in the app or web version. You can also use mantau free of charge with your own small groups of up to 10 members, e.g. your team or family and friends.
Also ideal for testing!
All functions are available in the free mantau 10. And if you later purchase a license for your organization or company, you can "integrate" your existing groups.
