2024: A Year of Innovation in Permit Software

As we welcome the New Year, the GeoCivix team is taking a moment to reflect on the progress and milestones we achieved in 2024. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering trust and collaboration of our partners. Your support fuels our mission to deliver innovative permit software solutions that empower your success.

This past year was packed with exciting developments aimed at improving functionality, accessibility, and overall user experience. Below, we highlight some of the key advancements we made in 2024 to enhance our permit software.

Enhanced Email Transparency for Permits

We’ve made email communications more transparent by allowing users to view all recipients (including “cc” contacts) in emails sent through the system. This update improves clarity and facilitates better communication, especially for complex permit workflows.

Automatic Permit Expiration Extensions

Permits now include customizable expiration date parameters. Inspections completed within these timeframes automatically extend expiration dates, saving you time and reducing administrative effort. This feature streamlines permit management and ensures compliance.

Auto-Issue Permits After Fee Payment

With a new automation option, permits can now be issued automatically once fees are paid. This feature minimizes manual work, streamlines operations, and ensures timely permit issuance, enhancing the overall efficiency of our permit software.

Enhanced Reporting & Data Export

Contact exports now display first and last names instead of contact IDs, making reports more user-friendly and easier to understand. This update helps administrators manage permit data with greater clarity and precision.

Integrated Geospatial Mapping for Permits

Geospatial Visualization is now seamlessly integrated with our Dataset Export feature. This enhancement allows administrators to transform raw data into interactive, dynamic maps, improving insights and decision-making in permit management.

ADA Compliance in Permit Software

Our platform has been updated to align with WCAG 2.2 standards. This reflects our commitment to ensuring accessibility for all users. By prioritizing ADA compliance, our permit software supports inclusivity and user-friendliness.

Streamlined Document Archival for Permits

Our archival system now supports automated document flagging and offsite storage. Whether using Laserfiche, OnBase, or FTP, organizations can securely store documents and metadata for better records retention and streamlined workflows.

Advanced Search and API Enhancements

We completely redesigned our search functionality to improve performance and accuracy, ensuring users can locate records quickly and efficiently. Additionally, our API and webhooks received continued updates, with new endpoints and expanded capabilities offering even more powerful integration options for your systems.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As we move forward into 2025, we are excited to continue our mission of delivering best-in-class permit software solutions to help you succeed. Our focus remains on building tools that adapt to your needs and grow alongside your organization.

From all of us at GeoCivix, we wish you a Happy New Year filled with success, health, and happiness. Here’s to another fantastic year of partnership and collaboration!
