Get ready for another busy year for construction in America.
Keeping up with community development requires working efficiently, and that’s why local government professionals are looking for the right technology and tools to get more done. Permitting software can be a time-saving tool for municipal staff as demand for services increases.
Still, not all software offers the same features and capabilities, so it’s important to do your homework before choosing online community development software. Here’s what local governments need from their digital building permitting tools.
Mobile Access, Even If You’re Offline
Even the best software for building department professionals won’t be of much use if it can’t be accessed where you need to work.
With Cloudpermit’s mobile inspections app, users can add notes and photos while completing inspections right in the field — even if they’re offline.
The right software should make your days of re-entering information back at the office a thing of the past.
Multilingual Software
Local governments need to do their best to communicate with and inform their citizens, and that means offering the ability to apply for building permits online in the language they use.
Cloudpermit’s permitting software is available in English and Spanish, which makes it easier for residents and stakeholders to apply online.
Flexibility with Configuration
America has a diverse municipal structure, and each local government has its own needs and ways of working.
That’s why Cloudpermit offers flexibility right out of the box. Rather than long, expensive implementation processes that require customization, our community development software can be configured and implemented quickly.
It’ll suit your exact needs and get up and running much faster.
GIS Integration That Works
If your permitting tools aren’t fully integrating with your local GIS, you’re missing out.
Accessing your GIS can unlock accurate parcel mapping and give you real-time, site-specific data where and when you need it.
Improved Public Transparency
More residents than ever expect transparency, and they want to be able to apply and pay for their permits online. The right permitting software should offer this access while being easy to use.
Our online permitting software gives your citizens new ways of applying for permits while also receiving automatic notifications of any updates along the way, keeping them in the loop. They can also learn more about development-related activity and search for information with Cloudpermit’s public search map feature.
Cloudpermit’s compatible integrations enable online payments and many other features to make the process even more convenient for the people you serve.
Easier Compliance
Communities are tasked with keeping up with the demand for services to citizens while also complying with local, state, and national regulations.
The right permitting software should adapt to these requirements and simplify compliance.
In addition to streamlining the overall permit processes of a municipality, Cloudpermit can help local governments follow regulations by simplifying reporting. With just a few clicks, required documents can be generated with up-to-date information.
Get the Right Permitting Software
If your department or local government is still using paper forms or outdated systems for community development, it’s time to upgrade to the best permitting software.
Cloudpermit has helped hundreds of local governments embrace the potential of modern software to streamline their permitting processes. Together, applicants are getting faster turnarounds and automated updates while municipal staff saves time and gets more done.
