The foundation you need.

Contractors know the size of the house they’re building before they drive the first nail. You make sure of that in plan review. It makes sense to confirm that the foundation will hold the structure. But what do you do if the structure changes size over time?

With an unpredictable structure the only thing you can do is lay a foundation capable of holding a cabin or a skyscraper. You anticipate the full range of possibilities and prepare your building site accordingly. That’s not something you’re likely to encounter among your permit applications, but it’s what you’re faced with when selecting community development software. Your department isn’t static, it changes and so do your needs.

Most of the alternatives are arranged according to the size of the jurisdiction but this doesn’t reflect reality. Jurisdiction size does not indicate your needs or means. So what’s necessary is a foundation that holds a village or a metropolis. In permitting and code enforcement software that foundation is called SMARTGov Community.

SMARTGov Community changes as you do. It molds itself to your business practices and can be modified by you as needed. It anticipates your true needs by providing unparalleled control and choice over configuration and services. There are no artificial barriers in SMARTGov Community. Permit, code enforcement, planning, and inspection types are unlimited. You can add custom fields and control drop-down lists, or define complicated workflows and manage them in cycles. Notations are unrestricted and contain as many attachments as necessary, and those attachments can be of any file type.

If you grow, SMARTGov Community grows with you. It scales to whatever size you need without affecting performance and can be accessed with nothing more than a web browser from anywhere at any time. And our optional public portal provides a self-service method to citizens checking project status, applying for permits, requesting inspections, uploading submittals, downloading documents and performing a variety of other tasks no longer taking place at your counter or over your phones.
No matter what happens in your department SMARTGov Community is up to the task. That’s a foundation you can build on. Discover more about SMARTGov community on this website or contact Paladin Data Systems today for a demonstration.
