• Planning Departments - Build the Thriving Community You Envision

    Transform Plan Review into a Catalyst For Community Growth

The Plan Review Bottleneck Holding Back Your Community
Your mission is clear: foster economic growth, enable responsible development that meets strategic plans, and serve citizens efficiently. But traditional paper-based plan review processes are creating delays that frustrate applicants, cause bottlenecks that slow economic development, and the inefficiencies overwhelm your Planning staff.

Development Delays That Cost Your Community

  • Plans cycle back and forth up to 45 times before approval.
  • Sequential reviews create department bottlenecks when time is critical.
  • Commercial projects stall as businesses lose confidence.
  • Applicants abandon projects due to lengthy, unpredictable timelines.

Operational Inefficiencies Overwhelm Your Team

  • Staff are trapped in administrative tasks instead of meaningful planning work.
  • Physical document transport between buildings slows everything down.
  • Version control chaos with lost plans and miscommunication creates constant rework.

Citizen Experience That Reflects Poorly on Your Agency

  • Repeated trips to city hall for simple status updates.
  • No real-time visibility into where projects stand.
  • Frustrated applicants calling staff for information that should be accessible online.
The Result? Economic development opportunities lost, citizen satisfaction declining, and your team spending time on paperwork instead of building the community you envision.
