Licensing & Permitting

Enterprise Licensing, Certification and Permitting

Permit and licensing operations are often slow and inefficient– handled by disconnected departments with no performance targets (or enforcement thereof), resulting in sub-par performance and lengthy back logs. Voyatek’s permit and licensing solutions track the process of issuing permits and licenses from application to review to distribution, enabling faster revenue collection, increased transparency and accountability, and better customer support for residents and business owners.
