Case Study: Township of Pine achieves more efficient field inspections and streamlined permitting with Comcate

Pine, PA uses Comcate to Get More Done in the Field, Leaving More Time for Plan Review and Other Critical Work in the Office

The Township of Pine, a local government in Pennsylvania, faced significant inefficiencies in its Department of Building and Zoning. Their inspectors were wasting time returning to the office to log case information and manage paper files, which limited field inspections and left no time for critical plan reviews. They sought a software solution from vendor Comcate to digitize records and streamline operations.

Comcate implemented a highly configurable software system that allowed inspectors to access property histories, complete data entry, and manage permits from the field using iPads. This solution automated permit generation, fee tracking, and inspection checklists. As a result, the Township of Pine made its inspectors dramatically more efficient, reallocating hours previously spent on data entry to productive plan reviews and other work, while also generating more revenue for the department.
