Permit management software has become the new standard for managing city and county permits. Tracking permit applications via phone calls can lead to important information getting lost in translation, and storing permit documents in overstuffed filing cabinets can be a headache. Here’s why your government agency should embrace the permit tracking software trend to enhance your current processes.
1. Increased Efficiency
Perhaps the most significant benefit of permit tracking software is that it makes the permit process more efficient. When you don’t have to worry about recording permit information manually, your team will save time and money. iWorQ’s Permit Management Software is cloud-based, so you can access permit data out in the field or in the office with any web device. Digitizing your permit management procedures leads to boosted productivity and improved service delivery.
2. Better Communication
With permit tracking software, everyone - administrative staff, contractors, engineers, and public works teams - can access the same information. iWorQ’s Permit Management Software allows for unlimited users to log into the software. No matter the number of people in your department, permit tracking software helps avoid misunderstandings and keeps everyone on the same page.
3. Easy Record-Keeping
Staying on top of ever-changing regulations and compliance laws can be challenging. A good permit tracking software solution like iWorQ centralizes all of your permit data in a user-friendly digital hub, making it easy to view and edit information. When your municipality’s permit data is stored in one place, you can ensure all permits are processed according to the latest rules.
4. Smart Decision-Making
Permit tracking software can offer valuable insights that help governments make informed decisions. With reporting tools like custom graphics and reports, cities and counties can identify trends and areas for improvement, and use this statistical data to present to councils, contractors, and commissioners. iWorQ’s custom reporting feature allows you to generate reports on demand, as well as schedule them in advance.
5. Flexibility
Modern permit tracking software is designed to adapt to your agency’s needs. iWorQ’s Permit Management Software is customizable, making it a versatile solution for municipalities of all shapes and sizes. From permit type to contact information, iWorQ can track it all.
6. Smooth Application Process with Portal Home
With an online application portal such as iWorQ’s Portal Home, citizens can apply for permits, upload required documents, and track the status of their application all from the comfort of their own home. This means fewer trips to city hall and fewer phone calls, making the permit application process a total breeze.
7. Stronger Security
Data breaches are becoming increasingly common, with several major municipal software companies experiencing security breaches in recent years. iWorQ uses AWS GovCloud, a highly secure cloud computing solution, to protect your agency’s sensitive data and workloads. GovCloud maintains strict adherence to compliance regulations and is operated by U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. Plus, iWorQ backs up your data twice per week
With iWorQ, you will never have to worry about your information being compromised.
