One of the many benefits of the citizenserve software is the flexibility of our workflow management. Every municipality has their own unique processes and citizenserve can be configured to support all of them. Our configurable workflow routes allow you to specify tasks for each person or department based on the requirements for the specific application. Some routes may be quite simple – just a quick review and issuance. Others may be quite complex, requiring multiple review cycles, board or public hearings, or alternate routes based on specific criteria. We also support concurrent or consecutive reviews, or a mixture of both, which allows a single user to perform a completeness check before advancing the application or plan check to multiple departments or users for review. We offer highly-configurable task-assignment routes for new applications, as well as numerous tools to help track permits, licenses, and registrations throughout their lifecycle.
