đź‘‹ Hi, we're Streamline!
We empower districts to excel in serving their communities
Juggling state regulations, tight financial constraints, and limited staff all while providing essential services to the community can be challenging. That's why we developed Streamline, a comprehensive platform featuring compliant websites, marketing, intranet, and payment tools tailored for special districts – so districts can focus on delivering top-notch services to their community, not wrestling with technology and compliance.
Our History
Streamline was created by two friends—Mac and Sloane, who have a passion for local government, service, and technology. Sloane is a volunteer firefighter for a fire district in Mokelumne Hill, CA, where she experienced firsthand all the work that goes into operating a district in a rural area from organizing volunteers, to sending out newsletters, to answering emergency calls in the middle of the night. Mac has a passion for civic engagement, local democracies, and building easy-to-use online software that could reach across the country. Together, they built Streamline, which has been serving districts across America since 2015.
The Evolution of Streamline
Streamline started with a simple mission: connect districts with the public through compliant, easy-to-use websites. This evolved into Streamline Web, a professional website with built-in accessibility and transparency. When our early districts shared the need for mass communication and marketing tools, we introduced Streamline Engage for professional emails. The pandemic's shift to remote work prompted us to develop Streamline Portal, a secure intranet for staff and board operations and unlimited storage. Listening to our districts' needs to collect online payments led to the creation of Streamline Payments, facilitating bill payments, fee collections, and online sales directly from their website.
Today, Streamline offers comprehensive community engagement and compliance solutions, all designed to empower districts and connect communities.
Our Commitment to the Special District Community
We've worked and volunteered in special districts, and have been involved in local government at the county level. What we learned is, districts want back-office operations to be simple and self-service. A single staff member should be able to manage payments, update the website, and send the newsletter, often all in the same day. Without special training. Without having to hire a specialist.
So don’t worry, Streamline has your back! We are always creating new products based on your feedback, and improving current products to best fit your needs. We really are here to make districts’ lives easier. And we’d love to help your district, too!
