Launching Licensing & Permitting in Months, Not Years
Ask any state or local agency about their permitting modernization project and you'll hear a familiar story: a multi-year timeline, a budget that doubled, and a citizen portal that still tells applicants to "call during business hours" for status updates.
It doesn't have to work that way. Salesforce Public Sector Solutions gives agencies a genuinely strong foundation for licensing, permitting, and inspections (LPI). The problem is that the foundation is just that — a foundation. The application intake flows, routing logic, status tracking, and citizen-facing components still have to be designed, built, and tested. That's where timelines go to die.
What we kept rebuilding — so we stopped rebuilding it
Across public sector engagements, our team noticed we were building the same things every time: permit application wizards with save-as-draft, complaint intake forms, registration flows, automated routing to the right reviewer, and applicant-facing status tracking.
So we productized it. The LPI Accelerator packages 120+ story points of prebuilt, field-tested functionality on Salesforce's License & Permit module:
- Application intake — multi-step permit applications with draft support, so citizens never lose their progress.
- Request tracking — applicants see status in real time instead of calling the office.
- Automated routing — applications, complaints, and registrations flow to the right queue based on configurable rules.
- Complaint & registration management — the full case lifecycle, not just permits.
- Accessible components — built on our LWC library with Section 508 / WCAG compliance baked in, not bolted on.
What 120+ prebuilt story points actually buys you
A typical LPI implementation backlog runs 250–400 story points. Starting with 120+ already built, tested, and documented changes the project's shape entirely:
- Discovery gets concrete. Instead of whiteboarding abstractions, stakeholders react to working software in the first week. "Make the routing work like this" is a faster conversation than "describe your ideal routing."
- Budget shifts to what's unique. Your fee schedules, your ordinance logic, your integrations — the things no accelerator can know — get the engineering attention, because the commodity 60% is already done.
- Risk drops. The accelerator's components have already survived real agencies, real applicants, and real accessibility audits.
In practice, agencies using the LPI Accelerator see first-phase go-lives measured in months — often inside a single budget cycle — instead of the multi-year programs this category is notorious for.
Where AI-enabled delivery compounds the gain
The accelerator handles the "what"; our AI-enabled development process handles the "how." Configuration of agency-specific rules is AI-assisted, every change runs through automated test gates, and documentation stays current automatically — which matters enormously for public sector handover and audit requirements.
Is your agency a fit?
The LPI Accelerator fits best when an agency is implementing Salesforce Public Sector Solutions for permits, licenses, inspections, complaints, or registrations — whether greenfield or replacing a legacy system. If you're earlier in the journey, we also help agencies build the roadmap and business case first.
