Case Study: Hernando County School District achieves 50% faster permit approvals and 80% lower costs with Nintex Process Manager

The Hernando County School District uses Nintex to expedite building permit approvals by 50% and it costs 80% less than an alternative

Hernando County School District’s Facilities and Construction Department — serving 29 schools, 23,000 students and 3,100 staff — faced a sudden 10x increase in construction workload after a voter-approved maintenance fund. The department needed to boost productivity, preserve undocumented institutional knowledge, and meet statutory building and life‑safety permit requirements while managing growing risk and staff turnover.

The district implemented the Nintex platform (Forms, Workflow, DocGen and Sign) to automate its building permit process and other top workflows. The solution halved permit approval time and employee document handling, provided real‑time status tracking, cost 80% less to license and install than an alternative, is usable by non‑programmers, and is being expanded to other processes (e.g., concurrency reviews expected to drop from ~2 hours to 10–15 minutes).
