Case in Point: Government Permitting Software and 311 Success in Virginia

By leveraging cloud-based software, the cities of Hampton, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach, have ensured service continuity in times of crisis.

In the City of Hampton, their Community Development and 311 Solution resulted in a significant reduction in permit processing times, and faster approvals. Since going digital, 99% of new construction inspections are performed within 2 days of request, and 98% of commercial and residential plan reviews are conducted on time. 

Similarly, in the City of Norfolk, existing online self-serve capabilities for citizens and staff meant community development and code enforcement services were unaffected by pandemic shutdowns -- ensuring revenue streams were sustained, and development could continue as normal. 

And in the City of Virginia Beach, a custom-built portal for 311 and grant relief has drastically improved community development, and was critical to facilitating the swift distribution of the City’s COVID-19 Pandemic Relief Bill.
