When a government agency can digitize a form or process, it saves them at least 15 minutes of an employee’s time. That may not seem like a lot on the surface, but added up over time it can make a substantial difference to long-term productivity goals and help government departments become more efficient in their delivery of services to the public. When it comes to business licenses, time is money – both for the department and the citizen. Starting a new business benefits all parties, and it’s important for new business owners to be able to start bringing in revenue as soon as possible. With GovOS business licensing software for government, applicants can breeze through the process without tying up precious time and employees can increase the number of processed applications.

What’s Wrong With the Traditional Licensing Process?

Waiting-in-lineIn-person applications for business licenses add unnecessary strain on both sides. Applicants have to stand in long lines, complete numerous printed forms, and submit stacks of supporting documents that eat up resources and cost both the applicant and the government employee a lot of additional time. Each application must then be analyzed and processed manually, causing a backlog of more complex applications because employees don’t have adequate time to review them efficiently. With longer wait times and fewer applications being processed each quarter, it’s easy to see why applying for a business license is more of a daunting task than an exciting part of a new venture.

GovOS business licensing software removes the strain and makes for far more satisfied employees and citizens. With GovOS business license software, government departments can cut their processing times in half, all while creating a more convenient experience for applicants.

Benefits for Governments

With automated workflows, intelligent routing, enhanced recordkeeping ability, and simultaneous review capabilities, applications and renewals can be processed much faster.
