PermitPort: Streamlined Permits from Submission to Approval
Government permitting offices manage a wide range of residential, commercial, and land-use permits, often with manual workflows that slow approvals and frustrate applicants. Our PermitPort Agent, built on Creatio, modernizes the entire permit lifecycle with a secure, online, end-to-end platform for both applicants and internal staff.
PermitPort helps offices simplify intake, accelerate reviews, and maintain clear communication at every stage.
What PermitPort Enables
Accepting Digital Permit Applications
Applicants submit residential, commercial, and land permit requests online through intuitive multi-page forms with file uploads and autosave. Applicants can track their submissions and view status updates from their portal.
Tracking Status in Real Time
Both applicants and internal users can see each stage of the process – submitted, pending assignment, under review, corrections requested, approved, or canceled – with automated notifications for every update.
Supporting Multi-Level Review Workflows
Permits can follow tiered, structured approvals. A Permit Clerk can triage applications and assign them to reviewers, or reviewers can self-assign based on internal processes.
Using AI for Smart Reviewer Assignment
AI workload balancing routes new applications to the reviewer with the lightest queue (with tie-break options and manual reassignment when needed), leveraging agentic AI to dynamically optimize assignment decisions in real time.
Managing Volumes, Bottlenecks & Team Performance
Dashboards show permit volume by type, in progress workloads, bottlenecks, reviewer queues, and monthly activity trends – helping teams stay organized and responsive.
How PermitPort Works
- Applicants Submit Online: External users register through a portal, complete a multi-page form, upload documents, and submit their application. They can return anytime to track progress or respond to requests.
- Applications Are Assigned: The Permit Clerk or system automatically assigns each application to a reviewer using workload-based rules. Notifications ensure no application is missed.
- Reviewers Evaluate & Communicate: Reviewers can request corrections, add comments, approve or reject applications, or escalate for additional review. All communication happens within the platform.
- Approvals Are Finalized: Once approved, the permit is completed and stored with a full audit history. If a project is canceled or a duplicate is submitted, staff can close the application with the appropriate reason.
- Teams Monitor Trends & Outcomes: Dashboards show permit types, statuses, reviewer workloads, and monthly totals, enabling better forecasting and operational planning.
- Applicants Submit Online: External users register through a portal, complete a multi-page form, upload documents, and submit their application. They can return anytime to track progress or respond to requests.
