Purpose-Built SaaS for Public Agencies

Eproval is a secure, cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) platform built specifically for public agencies managing complex permitting processes. Unlike land use or parks and recreation systems, Eproval fills a critical third niche—streamlining multi-department, multi-agency workflows for special events, film, street closures, and other permits that require collaboration, transparency, and coordination across departments.

We understand your complex permitting processes

The steps to process a permit are often not linear. Most often, multiple applicants submit forms that require numerous steps that need to be reviewed and approved by as many as 10 – 20 stakeholders. For maximum efficiency, it’s ideal if multiple reviewers and approvers are tackling different parts of the application at the same time.

The challenge of paper-based permitting systems

In paper-based systems, it is difficult to have concurrent approvals if one approval depends upon another. For example, it may be helpful for the fire department to know that Traffic has approved a lane closure before giving their consent on a special event permit. This is where Eproval’s permit tracking software as a service shines, providing real-time updates and tracking to streamline the process.

Predictability for total cost of ownership, upgrades and scheduled maintenance

Public sector customers are demanding commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) applications that are more predictable in terms of their total cost of ownership (TCO), implementation time, scheduled upgrades, and ongoing maintenance. Eproval’s cloud permit software, a cloud-based solution, helps lower maintenance costs, ensures scheduled maintenance, and offers budgeting predictability.

What SaaS Means For You

Access Anywhere, Anytime

Eproval is accessible from any device with internet access. Whether staff are reviewing applications in the office or managing onsite logistics during an event, the platform supports real-time access and updates.

Scalable and Secure

Whether you process 50 permits a year or 5,000, Eproval scales to meet your needs. Our platform is hosted on robust, secure cloud infrastructure with high availability, encrypted data transmission, and built-in redundancy.

Subscription-Based Model

With predictable annual subscription pricing, Eproval includes everything from configuration and onboarding to support and ongoing innovation. There are no surprise fees, and agencies can choose from flexible tiered packages based on their permitting volume and complexity.

No IT Overheard

Eproval handles hosting, updates, and system maintenance—so your agency doesn’t need to burden internal IT resources. New features and enhancements are rolled out seamlessly, ensuring you always operate on the most current version of the platform.

Driving real-time collaboration

Eproval’s software as a service model for permit management drives collaboration by providing multiple stakeholders with visibility into the approval process. Real-time collaboration is facilitated by Eproval’s rich interface that allows for alerts, messages and real-time updates without the need to open other applications. This streamlined approach reduces the need for meetings and allows multiple approvals to happen at the same time. This makes the process faster, more efficient and helps stakeholders stay informed.
