Configurable Enterprise Permitting & Licensing Software for Government
POSSE PLS combines mature permitting and licensing functionality with the proven POSSE enterprise platform, giving state and local government agencies the flexibility to automate, integrate and adapt complex permitting, licensing, inspection and code enforcement workflows as operational and regulatory requirements evolve.
POSSE PLS is powered by the same configurable enterprise platform CX (Computronix) uses to automate complex government processes across jurisdictions and departments. Rather than relying on extensive source-code customization, POSSE enables authorized teams to configure workflows, business rules, data requirements and processes to meet evolving operational needs.
Large jurisdictions rarely have a single permitting process, department or stakeholder group. POSSE PLS provides a common enterprise foundation for coordinating permitting, licensing, inspections, code enforcement and related regulatory workflows while supporting the distinct requirements of individual departments and processes.
POSSE PLS permitting and licensing software includes workflows covering the core business areas of Planning, Permitting & Inspections, Business & Professional Licensing, Code Enforcement, and ePlans.
POSSE PLS’s Planning module links together all the pieces of planning projects (e.g., a large development project), so your planners can assess, evaluate, record, and retrieve all related information effectively.
The Permitting and Inspections module tracks all your permitting and inspection activity, from initial application to completion, renewal, or expiration.
Business & Professional Licensing →
Business and Contractor Licensing handles all licensing needs for your jurisdiction, including application, amendment, enforcement, and renewal activities.
The POSSE PLS Code Enforcement module allows agencies to investigate, review, and issue compliance actions from initial determination of violation to proceedings and final outcomes.
The POSSE ePlans module is a cutting-edge plan review solution that allows planners to review, markup, and compare changes between plan versions.
Simple report customizations which used to take days to implement now take minutes from a web browser anywhere in the world, with no client-side software required.
