PermitPort: Modernizing Building & Land Permits with Digital Workflows
Building and land permitting offices manage a wide range of residential, commercial, and land-use applications – often under tight timelines and public scrutiny. Manual intake, paper forms, and disconnected systems can slow approvals, create backlogs, and frustrate both applicants and staff.
CloudWave’s PermitPort application modernizes the permitting process from submission through approval. Built on the Creatio platform, PermitPort delivers a secure, end-to-end digital system that simplifies application intake, automates review workflows, and provides real-time visibility into permit status.
Digital Permit Submission and Applicant Access
PermitPort replaces paper-based and in-person intake with a modern online submission experience.
- Applicants submit permit requests through guided, multi-page digital forms.
- Supporting documents are uploaded directly with each application.
- Applicants can track permit status through a self-service portal.
- Automated notifications keep applicants informed at every stage.
This transparency reduces inquiry volume while improving the applicant experience.
Review and Approval Workflows
PermitPort supports structured, multi-level review processes that align with internal permitting procedures.
Applications are routed based on permit type and review requirements. Reviewers can approve, reject, request corrections, or escalate applications while capturing comments and decisions directly in the system. Completed permits are stored with full audit history to support compliance and accountability.
By digitizing review workflows, PermitPort helps offices move applications through the process more efficiently and consistently.
Intelligent Workload Distribution
PermitPort includes tools to help offices manage demand and avoid backlogs.
- Applications can be assigned manually or automatically.
- AI-based workload balancing routes permits to reviewers with available capacity.
- Supervisors can reassign work as priorities shift.
This approach ensures workloads are balanced even during peak permitting periods.
Operational Dashboards and Oversight
PermitPort provides real-time insight into permitting activity and performance.
- Dashboards show permit volume by type, status, and timeframe.
- Reviewer queues and workload distribution are visible at a glance.
- Trends help teams anticipate demand and allocate resources.
With better visibility, offices can manage throughput more effectively and proactively.
Impact: Faster Approvals and Better Transparency
PermitPort enables permitting offices to:
- Reduce processing times for building and land permits.
- Improve communication with applicants and internal staff.
- Maintain clear audit trails and compliance.
- Scale operations without increasing administrative burden.
By digitizing the full permit lifecycle, PermitPort helps agencies deliver faster, more transparent service to their communities.
