Electronic Permitting Solution

EPS (Electronic Permitting Solution) is a municipal permitting, licensing and compliance platform built natively on Microsoft Power Platform, Dynamics 365 and Azure — and installed as a managed solution into your own Microsoft 365/Azure tenant, so your data, encryption keys and audit trail never leave your control.

One connected system of record, from application to closeout:

• Public portal — guided, map-first applications, document checklists, automatic fee calculation, secure online payment (PCI-DSS), 24/7 tracking and notifications
• Company accounts — delegated access for builders and utility providers, insurance and licence tracking, renewals, related-permit validation
• Workflow and approvals — rule-based routing, multi-team parallel review, statutory deadline tracking, RFIs and resubmissions with full versioning
• Inspections — native iOS/Android app with offline mode, auto-scheduling, configurable checklists, geotagged photos, digital signatures, deficiency notices issued from the field
• Billing — versioned fee schedules, deposits and refunds, ERP reconciliation
• Enforcement — violation cases, orders and stop-work issued in the field, complaint intake with SLA routing
• GIS — live two-way Esri ArcGIS Enterprise integration: spatial triggers, conflict detection, permits published to feature services in near-real time
• Reporting and AI — role-based dashboards, Power BI, open-data publishing, AI-assisted completeness checks with human-in-the-loop review
