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

Hernando County School District - Customer Case Study

Hernando County School District, which serves 29 schools, 23,000 students and 3,100 staff, needed to boost productivity, capture informal process knowledge, and reduce compliance risk in its Facilities and Construction Department—especially after a voter-approved maintenance tax increased workload tenfold. The district also had a statutory responsibility to ensure building permits met safety codes, so manual, undocumented processes and staff turnover posed significant operational and legal risks.

The district adopted Nintex (Forms, Workflow, DocGen and Sign) to automate its top business processes, starting with building permit approvals. The solution halved approval times and employee document handling, provided real-time status tracking, cost 80% less to license/install than an alternative, is easy for non‑programmers, and freed staff for other work—enabling further process rollouts (e.g., cutting a 2‑hour concurrency review to about 10–15 minutes).
