Our biggest upcoming project

In development

PermiPro Bylaw Assistant

Our biggest upcoming project is in development: an English/French bylaw assistant with cited answers, city-branded public chat, private contractor workspaces and municipal source-review tools. The first planned demonstration focuses on Ottawa and is independent of the City. Public launch is still ahead.

Explore the Bylaw Assistant roadmap
  1. Permit issuance

    Municipal permit PDFs and emails, designed by your team

    Municipal teams can design permit PDFs, customize issuance emails and issue approved, paid applications. Published templates and issued records keep each document traceable.

    • Design PDF layouts or use a municipal PDF background, with application fields and logos
    • Preview editable samples, optional details and conditional wording in PDFs and issuance emails
    • Publish template versions by application type and language; staff check approval and confirmed payment before issuing
    • Preserve the issued record and prepared document; amendments and renewals remain future work

  2. Inspections

    From the inspection request to the follow-up visit

    The inspection add-on connects application-linked requests, inspector schedules, site evidence and follow-up in the same workspace.

    • Request inspections from the application and confirm appointments with an assigned inspector
    • Use day and week views to open site addresses, contact details and directions
    • Record findings, photos and code references, then carry unresolved deficiencies into repeat visits
    • Download inspection reports and share applicant-facing files while keeping internal files private

  3. Daily municipal work

    Your queue, your next step, your support conversation

    The application workspace now brings personal saved views, clearer review details and municipal support conversations closer to everyday work.

    • Save and reuse personal application filters while keeping current reviewer and department access
    • Find the application number, applicant and email in the review header
    • Guide applicants from shared review notes to the form answers that need updating
    • Track municipal support requests and replies in the app, and filter report previews by period, type, department and status

  4. Reporting & workspace

    From the daily dashboard to a report you can share

    Custom reporting connects application activity to dashboards, saved reports and exports. Municipal login branding and colour settings help the workspace feel familiar.

    • Build reports with KPI cards, charts, tables, period comparisons and configured form fields
    • Export PDF, Excel or CSV and configure scheduled secure links for authorized staff
    • See metric definitions, calculation times and gaps in available history
    • Use role-based work queues and applicant milestones, with municipal login imagery and colour palettes

  5. Account access

    Less time signing in, more time getting things done

    We have updated sign-in so you can return to your work with fewer interruptions, while keeping your existing account and password.

    • Stay signed in for up to seven days, with more time added as you keep using PermiPro
    • Municipal staff can use their Microsoft work account once their municipality connects it
    • Keep your current roles, access and extra sign-in verification
  6. Application review

    A second look at the details that matter

    Teams with Municipal AI enabled can request help reviewing an application, its supporting documents and relevant municipal guidance. Staff stay in control of every decision.

    • Spot missing details and answers that may need a closer look
    • Follow references back to the documents behind a finding
    • Start a review when you need it; suggestions never change an application or approve a permit
  7. Municipal knowledge

    Answers grounded in your municipality’s own documents

    With Municipal AI enabled, staff can ask questions about published bylaws and guidance, and get answers with references they can check.

    • Bring municipal bylaws and reference documents together in one place
    • Ask questions in everyday language and find the relevant passages
    • Choose which documents are ready to publish and keep guidance up to date
  8. Website

    A clearer, faster PermiPro experience

    We rebuilt the public PermiPro experience around a focused civic design system, making complex platform capabilities easier to understand on every screen.

    • A unified visual system across every core page
    • Simpler navigation for product and solution discovery
    • Stronger responsive behaviour, contrast, and keyboard accessibility
  9. Company

    PermiPro for municipalities everywhere

    We expanded our product language beyond a single region so more municipal teams can see how PermiPro fits their permitting environment.

    • More inclusive language across product, pricing, and solution pages
    • Regional hosting guidance presented with greater clarity
  10. Reliability

    Cleaner paths from search to solution

    A broad reliability pass improved how people and search engines reach PermiPro, including locale-aware canonical paths, redirects, and recovery states.

    • Consistent English and French canonical links
    • Helpful, on-brand not-found experiences
    • Aligned sitemap, robots, manifest, and feed signals
  11. Resources

    A richer bilingual resource centre

    The PermiPro blog became a more capable resource for municipal teams, with better discovery, richer previews, and a polished reading experience in both languages.

    • Locale-aware article imagery and responsive layouts
    • Article schema plus Open Graph and social metadata
    • Pagination and dedicated English and French RSS feeds
  12. Product

    The complete platform, easier to explore

    We launched a detailed product and solutions library that connects PermiPro capabilities to the real work of municipal departments.

    • Dedicated guides for intake, workflows, AI, documents, rules, and analytics
    • Solution paths for five municipal teams and leadership roles
    • Full English and French coverage with improved site navigation
  13. Experience

    Sharper at every screen size

    Product imagery and typography now adapt more intelligently across languages and devices, keeping detailed workflows legible from phones to large displays.

    • Locale-aware product screenshots
    • Responsive image delivery and refined large-screen typography
  14. Platform

    Built for English and French

    PermiPro's public experience became bilingual end to end, giving municipal teams a consistent way to explore the platform in their preferred language.

    • English and French routes across the complete site
    • A persistent language switcher for desktop and mobile
    • Reliable locale-aware static builds and links
  15. Launch

    PermiPro's new digital home

    We launched a purpose-built website that explains PermiPro with the same clarity we want municipalities to bring to the permit process.

    • A complete visual and interaction refresh
    • New product, pricing, company, contact, and resource experiences
    • Responsive navigation and a more consistent mobile experience
  16. Foundation

    The foundation is in place

    The first PermiPro web platform established a fast, maintainable base for product education, resources, and the updates that followed.

    • A modern React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind foundation
    • Static delivery designed for fast, dependable access
    • Integrated formatting and quality tooling
Let’s move forward

A clearer process starts here.
