Ο στόχος της εφαρμογής GI-POLIS είναι η αποστολή άμεσων ενημερώσεων (Location Based Notifications) από την πλευρά του ΟΤΑ, στις κινητές συσκευές των Δημοτών, με βάση τη θέση τους. Για τον προσδιορισμό της θέσης του χρήστη, μπορεί να αξιοποιηθεί παράλληλα η τεχνολογία των GPS, των Wi-Fi όσο και των Beacons. Ο χρήστης θα μπορεί να λαμβάνει άμεσες ενημερώσεις που αφορούν σε κοινωνικά, πολιτιστικά θέματα του ΟΤΑ καθώς και σε οποιαδήποτε ενδιαφέρουσα δραστηριότητα του, όπως νέα έργα κτλ. Επίσης, οι συνεργαζόμενοι ΟΤΑ, μπορούν να αξιοποιούν το Σύστημα GI-POLIS, ώστε σε περίπτωση εκτάκτου ανάγκης να επικοινωνούν με τους Δημότες, παρέχοντας τους άμεσα πολύτιμες οδηγίες.
