January 4, 2023 – Acivilate is honored to be selected again as a GovTech 100 company (www.govtech.com/100). This award recognizes the milestone of our first statewide contract and we are excited by the opportunity to serve every person returning to society from those correctional facilities.
“Most citizen-government digitization efforts have facilitated transactions: paying taxes or renewing licenses. Acivilate focuses on the ongoing relationships between vulnerable citizens and government that involve a major life transition,” said Louise Wasilewski, CEO of Acivilate.
As pay increases have failed to stabilize the correctional workforce, unchanged mission-critical goals must be accomplished with fewer staff. This drives a new focus on efficiency and collaboration to deliver the desired outcomes of reduced recidivism, transformed lives and rejuvenated communities.
Acivilate’s Pokket℠ software platform supports agencies in measuring how staff spend their time to ensure it is allocated to meaningful work that delivers results. Furthermore, Pokket reduces needed staff effort by empowering clients to help themselves and engaging resources in the community to meet the supportive needs of clients. Pokket lets correctional staff focus on accountability. The company is excited to follow the progress of another customer’s ground-breaking investment in reentry coach training, bringing to life this collaborative empowerment model.
According to Dustin Haisler, Chief Innovation and Strategy Officer for Government Technology, “This year we have seen an exponential increase in gov tech market activity – from new companies starting up to help government tackle complex challenges, to existing companies joining forces for scale through consolidations, gov tech as an industry is clearly showing its recession-proof characteristics. Each of the GovTech 100 companies demonstrates the energy of our market across all gov tech segments.”

Acivilate’s focus is the intersection of relationships between government agencies, providers, clients experiencing major life transitions, and their caregivers. Such transitions include leaving the military, leaving prison, leaving domestic violence, aging out of foster care or starting college. Most technology providers have focused exclusively on the needs of the agency staff. Pokket addresses these needs directly, and contributes to the strategic outcome of developing client self-sufficiency, to reduce loads. When clients develop the capabilities to help themselves under the guidance of caseworkers, caseworkers can then focus their efforts on the clients who are most at risk, for better outcomes with the same resources.
Pokket helps clients and caseworkers connect in a secure and privacy-compliant manner across agencies. The care team can work together to build, track and execute a life improvement plan, securely message each other with the client, exchange documents, and allow clients to provide input, feedback and status. Reporting tools allow agencies to assess staff and client engagement.
Acivilate, Inc. is a majority woman-owned social enterprise headquartered in Atlanta, GA.
