Laserfiche empowers Community Development, Building, and Planning Departments to modernize their operations, enhance efficiency, and improve citizen engagement. From reducing paper overload to simplifying records management and compliance, Laserfiche helps you optimize your essential functions.

​

Here's how:

​

• Inefficient Paper-Based Processes: Eliminate paper forms for permits, inspections, and planning requests by digitizing them and automating workflows. Reduce delays and lost documents, improving overall efficiency.

​

• Slow Permit Processing & Approvals: Automate permit routing and approvals, instantly routing applications to the right staff, tracking status, and enabling e-signatures. Reduce bottlenecks, applicant frustration, and compliance risks.

​

• Lack of Transparency for Applicants & Staff: Provide a public portal for applicants to check request status and offer audit trails for staff to track document history. Enhance transparency and clarity with tailored reporting and dashboards.

​

• Compliance & Record-Keeping Challenges: Enforce records retention policies and secure documents with automated filing and retention schedules. Simplify audits and compliance tracking, ensuring adherence to regulations.

​

• Inefficient Inspections & Fieldwork: Enable inspectors to submit findings from the field in real time using mobile forms. Integrate mobile solutions with existing systems for seamless updates, reducing reporting delays and rework.

​

• Disconnected Departments & Siloed Information: Integrate Laserfiche with existing municipal systems (GIS, permitting software) to create a centralized information hub. Facilitate seamless data exchange between planning, building, and community development teams.

​

• High Workload & Limited Staff Resources: Automate repetitive tasks like document filing, notifications, and approvals, freeing up staff for higher-value work. Customize automation to fit each department’s specific needs.
