On the last day of 2024, Kopyl joined the application, becoming the 13th city in the Minsk region. Having started its work with Polotsk in 2021, the My City project is actively developing and rapidly gaining popularity, opening up new prospects for interaction with the urban environment.
The kopyll is in plain sight
As Viktor Zhurid, Head of the Kopyl Telecommunications Section of Beltelecom, explained, the My City mobile application was created so that every person has a simple and accessible channel of communication with the urban environment — government agencies, business, healthcare, education, culture and services. For ease of use, the application contains information about enterprises and organizations, which is divided into the following categories: city administration, health and sports, education, recreation and tourism, transport, catering, trade, utilities and others. Thanks to the My City application, people’s interaction with the city infrastructure becomes easy and enjoyable. The user gets access to information, services and service from a single system.
— You open the mobile application and see the city at a glance. Ordering a product, its delivery or service and paying for it, booking a hotel room — all this can be done very easily in real time. With the help of the My City application, you don’t have to generate dozens of search queries on the Internet. It is much more convenient to see everything in one software product. This is a big plus for city residents, — noted Viktor Zhurid. — The application also has a feed where top news is posted. Residents can quickly find out about upcoming city celebrations, water utility warnings and much more. By the way, using all the capabilities of the application, you can conduct surveys of city residents. This is valuable feedback for the further development of the city.
Benefits for organizations
The My City application is increasingly used by legal entities, individual entrepreneurs, enterprises and organizations of the district that want to declare themselves and their activities, as well as attract new customers. On their personal page, everyone can post information about the operating mode, goods and services, promotions and discounts. Organizations also have the opportunity to post information about their promotions and discounts on the main page of the city. The functionality of the platform is wide and continues to develop, while the developers take into account the wishes of customers to improve the perception and accessibility of the information provided. Various business entities of the city and district can take part in filling the mobile application. To do this, just leave a request on the website moygorod.by or contact the service center of the Beltelecom company, where they will tell you in more detail and provide access to your personal account on the application platform. The cost is only 19 rubles 20 kopecks per month.
— The My City application is also useful for the tourist service. Travel lovers and those who just want to relax in nature can see where to go and where to have a delicious lunch. For example, owners of agro-estates can indicate contact information and the number of available seats, post photos of the interior and other information that is attractive to tourists. My City is an effective communication channel for residents, guests and organizations of the city. Today, with the proper use of our platform, any business can successfully attract new customers, and through the expansion of the target audience, accordingly, there is additional income, — informed Viktor Zhurid.
How do we connect?
For residents of Kopyl, this is free, simple and convenient access via smartphone to the main city services in a variety of areas. It is very easy to connect! Just install the application «My City» (Belarus), which is available for download in the AppStore and GooglePlay. And then it is very simple — choose the city «Kopyl».
— Kopyl actively supports the work of the application. Today, about 100 legal entities of the city have posted information about themselves, and every day the number of organizations only increases. Residents are interested in the project, and we are glad that «My City» is becoming a tool that unites the entire city in one application, — summed up Viktor Zhurid.
