Check the platforms
Confirm that the software runs on the platform your staff and applicants use. The category covers web, iOS and Android availability.
Platform coverage can differ by listing, so check the platform field before you shortlist a tool.
Read the pricing fields
Use the Free plan and Paid from fields to frame the buying conversation. A listing may mark the product as paid and provide pricing on request.
Ask the maker for a quote when the page does not publish a starting price.
Review the applicant workflow
Compare the applicant portal and online payments fields. These show whether a product addresses submission and payment steps in the permit process.
Check the permit categories field against the permits your agency issues.
Match inspection work
Inspection scheduling is a separate comparison point. Look for a workflow that fits how your agency assigns and tracks inspections.
Check connected systems
Use the documented integrations field to identify stated connections with other systems. Ask for technical details before planning a rollout.
Mobile access can matter for staff working away from a desk, so compare it with the platforms your team carries.
