ClearForms Product Brief | ClearGov


ClearForms Issuing permits, tracking contracts, and managing internal workflows have lots of moving parts and people involved. Many departments are still using paper or PDF applications that require manual data entry, frustrating back-and-forth between admins and applicants, and time wasted chasing down approvals. These inefficiencies bog organizations down with calls and emails for status updates, because there isn’t an easy way for anyone to check the status of submissions in real-time. ClearGov’s web-based permitting, licensing, and workflow solution, ClearForms, automates every step of these workflows. You can build and configure your own permit, license, information request, or any kind of form. ClearForms is easy-to-use and flexible enough to respond to the complex needs of local governments.
