But outdated, disconnected review processes stand in the way. Today, city Engineers must navigate siloed systems to manually piece together critical data. This fragmented approach increases the risk of missing conflicts, slows approvals, and risks public safety. Substantiating decisions becomes difficult, as traditional tools lack the audit trails necessary defend decisions.
Without real-time visibility and coordinated workflows, engineering teams struggle to meet growth demands while maintaining the precision their communities depend on.

Missing Spatial Context Impedes Efficient Engineering Review
- Siloed systems require time-consuming manual cross-referencing of spatial information.
- Lack of seamless integration prevents engineers from accessing the most current, relevant spatial data in context.
- This workflow friction slows decision-making and increases risk of avoidable errors.
Fragmented Workflows Jeopardize Code Compliance
- Lost or conflicting comments between departments leave safety issues unresolved.
- Version control challenges increase the risk that critical engineering requirements are overlooked.
- Lack of audit trails undermines the agency’s ability to defend decisions
Lack of Visibility Creates Approval Bottlenecks
- Sequential reviews and hidden queues block progress.
- No clear oversight into where engineering plans sit in the process—or who’s responsible for moving them forward.
Disjointed Applicant Experience Fuels Community Frustration
- Developers and consultants lack clarity on engineering requirements, leading to costly resubmittals and project delays.
- Redundant manual hand-offs distract engineers from quality and safety priorities.
