    Community Templates

  • Location-Based Alerts

    The Guide automatically checks a project’s parcel location to ensure zoning rules and other specific requirements are followed. Location-based alerts flag whether or not a construction project or business is allowed, and whether the property is in a flood zone, fire hazard area, or near a coastline.

    Location-Based Alerts

  • Reports

    Use the data you capture from your guide to create reports and dashboards that will help you better forecast future workload, and spot emerging development trends and areas for improvement.

    Reports

  • Fee and Timeline Estimator

    The Guide automatically calculates project fees and estimated approval timelines upfront so your customers know exactly what to expect.

Easily integrate with any permitting software

The Guide works best with Enterprise or Launch, but can be integrated with any permitting software or used on its own as a standalone tool.
