The construction industry has more than 680,000 employers with over 7 million employees and creates close to $1.3 trillion worth of structures each year, according to The Construction Association. As a leading industry for revenue and employment, keeping track of data and processes related to the industry is crucial. State, county, and city agencies have the large task of tracking, licensing, and registering the ever-growing contractor workforce in the United States. Here at MyGov, we know that developing processes, managing a large workload, and organizing data related to Contractor Registration can be difficult. Contractor registration represents only one type of credential which most agencies are responsible to watch over, which can be challenging. Below are a few of the common problems a software system can solve:
- You need to have the ability for remote work using an online license system.
- You need to provide clients a secure business portal, but there is none available.
- You need to receive applications, but you have no online option.
- You need to receive supporting documents, but there is not an exchange point.
- You need to take an application, license, and renewal fees online, but you cannot.
- You need to send receipt details to the accounting software but are not able.
- You need to auto-notify customers about renewals, but now that is manually done.
- You need to obtain, store, distribute, and review credential details online but cannot.
- You need to integrate credentials with permit and license activity.
- You need to publish credential details to a public portal, but no reporting system exists.
