Next

Our next priorities for day-to-day municipal work.

Planned

Inspections designed for field work

We plan a phone- and tablet-friendly inspection workspace for municipal and contract inspectors, with municipal acceptance of contractor results.

The first release is planned for use with an internet connection.

Intended outcomes

  • Assigned visits and confirmed schedules
  • Checklists, photos, and findings
  • Accepted results linked to permit conditions
Planned

Reporting that leads to action

We plan to connect reporting with the records behind it, helping teams understand workloads, processing times, outstanding actions, and financial activity.

Intended outcomes

  • Clear metric definitions and data coverage
  • Drill-down from totals to authorized records
  • Personal and team work queues
Planned

Coordinated reviews and clearer corrections

We plan to help departments review the same application independently while giving applicants a clearer list of changes to address.

Intended outcomes

  • Departmental responsibilities and sign-offs
  • Preserved document versions and correction responses
  • A clear next step for staff and applicants
Planned

Support beyond the application decision

We plan to connect issuance, conditions, amendments, expiry, and renewals so municipalities can follow an authorization throughout its lifecycle.

Intended outcomes

  • Traceable issued documents
  • Conditions and closure requirements
  • Linked renewal and amendment applications

Later

Further capabilities that build on the same records and workflows.

Planned

A connected view of places and projects

We plan to link related applications, permits, businesses, locations, and inspections so authorized staff can understand the history of a project or place.

Intended outcomes
  • Search by location, business, or project
  • Related records in one view
  • Historical details preserved when current information changes
Planned

Clearer permit finances

We plan to expand fee and payment tools so municipal teams can follow charges, receipts, refunds, and refundable deposits.

Intended outcomes
  • Itemized and staged charges
  • Traceable adjustments and deposit releases
  • Reconciliation reports and exports
Planned

Easier municipal setup and migration

We plan to bring permit forms, review steps, fees, and lifecycle settings into a versioned setup process with previews and validated imports.

Intended outcomes
  • Reusable permit configurations
  • Previews before publication
  • Legacy-data validation and import summaries
