Case Study: Guilford County Creates an ARPA Program in One Week with SimpliGov

Guilford County Creates ARPA Program In One Week With SimpliGov

Guilford County faced the challenge of managing the complex distribution of its $104 million in ARPA funds. The county needed to convert a 15-page application into a user-friendly digital form, ensure compliance with stringent auditing standards, and streamline a cumbersome, eight-step manual process that involved up to 15 people. To overcome this, they turned to the vendor SimpliGov for a digital workflow automation solution.

SimpliGov implemented a smart digital form that dynamically revealed relevant questions and automated the multi-step workflow for application review and funds distribution. This solution enabled the county to create and launch the entire program in just one week. As a result, Guilford County successfully allocated $58 million to critical community programs and completed a complex evaluation process in one month, laying the groundwork for a more modern and efficient digital government.
