Licenses

Efficient and Easy License Processing—In the Office and In the Field 

Licenses are a valuable asset to every city—delivering ongoing revenue while helping you maintain a safe and successful community. While licenses are important, they’re also hard to manage. Without effective visibility and tracking, license renewals are difficult to maintain and keep up to date. That means too many opportunities to miss due dates, delay collection of licensing fees, and cause frustration. To optimize efficiency, you need license management software that can view and manage licensing, renewals, and fees from beginning to end.

MaintStar’s Community Development Suite with the Licenses Module is a powerful workflow engine that automates complex tasks—serving as your all-in-one software platform to streamline license application, approval and renewal services. From start to finish, MaintStar’s Community Development Suite tracks all the activities and keeps all parties updated. It also interfaces with your in-house operations, such as accounting, tax assessment, public works, and utilities via automated notifications. And it’s all updated in real-time and easily managed from dashboards—making it one of the simplest software platforms you’ll ever use.

This easy-to-use tool allows inspectors in the field to automatically receive new inspection notifications along with details and a GIS display to the location map. Field personnel can record inspections in the field (even while offline) and upload to the system when back online. After completing the inspection in the app, the inspector closes the task, enabling prompt receipt of revenues.

Superpower the standard dashboard with a highly specialized and personally configured dashboard showing progress toward goals tied to key performance indicators.

Our software’s automated workflows let you attach licenses to records, automatically change the status, and send automatic reminders about fees and fines. Tracks license applications, approvals and renewals, and coordinates timely communication with automated software—avoiding labor-intensive processes and the need for additional head count. State-of-the-art, configurable and automated workflows allows your entire staff to visually see what stage each license application is in; no more wasted time revisiting the workflow. Staff can track the growth of local businesses, generate reports to make decisions, and assist the leadership team.

Community members can easily submit license applications and renewals, de-activate licenses, and pay fees in the online Public Portal – no need to call or come in.

Our Community Development Suite interfaces smoothly with your software, such as your GIS interface for parcel management and state and local licensing partners.  

Fields, reports, and dashboards are very customizable for various license types, which adds specificity and ease-of-use.  

Tasks get done faster, with more accuracy—across all your functions and departments. Automated workflows, a mobile inspection app, and an always-open Public Portal helps local government agencies boost productivity and increase revenue collection.  

Our whole suite is modular and scalable and allows for unlimited users on a single enterprise license, addressing your needs today, with room to grow tomorrow. 

Through direct email communication, residents and businesses know when to pay for license renewals, supporting timely action and avoiding late fees and penalties. Easy-to-read process updates keep licensees informed throughout the project, saving significant staff hours continually conveying information. 

Our Licenses Module is so flexible and configurable, we can help you create specialized workflows and dashboards for nearly all types of licenses:

  • Animal
  • Business (including home-based, daycare, and NPO)
  • Contractors (such as GC, demolition, electrical, irrigation, roofing, including those licensed by third parties)
  • Liquor/alcohol
  • Marijuana
  • Special Event

MaintStar’s Community Development Suite with the Licensing Module eliminates costly and frustrating bottlenecks. Reviews and approvals get done faster, with more accuracy—across all your functions and departments. From the Mobile Inspection App to the Public Portal, everything in our suite is designed to eliminate slowdowns, increase accuracy, and improve service.
