Public Sector Solutions

Apply for Licenses and Permits Online from Any Device As governments increasingly digitize and streamline residential services, Salesforce’s Public Sector Solutions for Residential License and Permit Management offers residents a seamless, one-stop experience to apply for licenses and permits in a branded, user-friendly environment. Starting from the home page, residents can access FAQs, Knowledge articles, search capabilities, and informational banners. They can then navigate to the License and Permits tab to apply directly online by filling out a form, with an integrated map to help determine the location. Effortlessly Collect the Right Information Many current license and permit application websites require residents to sift through numerous PDF forms to find the right application. Salesforce Public Sector Solutions simplifies this process with smart, automated applications. When applying for a building permit, for example, relevant information like construction cost and type of work is collected. Simple calculations can process and display applicable fees, ensuring transparency for the resident. Information buttons guide residents through the data collection process, helping to ensure data accuracy. The process dynamically adjusts to display relevant inputs based on the license or permit type as the applicant progresses through the application. Upload Files Easily from Any Device Licenses and permits often require attachments such as architectural diagrams and photos. While many government agencies currently rely on paper forms, residents expect to complete transactions on their phones or from the comfort of their homes. The Salesforce platform enables residents to easily upload attachments online from their mobile phones, desktops, or other devices. Electronic Signatures Digitize the Process Collecting a signature often requires printing a paper form and then mailing or physically returning it. Once collected, government agencies must manually manage, scan, and store these forms. Salesforce Public Sector Solutions allow residents, contractors, and government employees to capture electronic signatures directly from a device, greatly speeding up the process and providing a simple way to track documents. Automated Confirmation Number With a manual, paper-based application process, applicants often don’t know if they have submitted enough information to complete the application successfully. Salesforce’s data validations ensure that residents know they’ve successfully completed their submission as soon as they’ve applied. Additionally, the “Save for Later” feature allows residents to save their application progress, making it easier for them to gather necessary documents before completing the remaining steps. Track Permit Status Online Many government agencies report that 75-80% of their call volumes are from residents simply checking the status of their applications. With Salesforce, residents can enjoy self-service by checking their application status anytime, on any device, reducing call volumes and providing better transparency. 360-Degree Application View for Easy Tracking and Faster Approvals Government employees have easy access to all the information about the applicant and the application. Tools like the guided path at the top of the application help save time and ensure a consistent process by providing step-by-step guidance. The path can be customized to fit the specific number of steps and instructions required for your process. Automate License Creation Once each step in the path is completed and approvals are met, the license is automatically created with no extra clicks or steps, and email notifications are sent automatically. Automating license creation speeds up the permit process, allowing residents to start their projects faster and enabling the government to better serve the community and efficiently collect revenue from permits and licenses. Access Issued Licenses Online After a license is approved, applicants can go online to view the status and the license itself. Real-time updates allow residents to move forward with their projects even faster. Licenses and permits requiring renewal can also be managed, launching a renewal process from an existing license or permit based on business rules. Like Related Posts Who is Salesforce?
