Streamline approvals with Stepper workflow automation

Once a permit application is submitted, the review process often involves multiple stakeholders—building inspectors, health officers, fire safety officials, and facility managers. With Stepper workflow automation, you can automatically route applications to the right departments, trigger inspection scheduling, send status updates to applicants, and create approval checkpoints—all without manual intervention.

For example, when an applicant submits their form, Stepper can:

• Send the application to the health department for initial review
• Notify the fire marshal if emergency systems need inspection
• Schedule an on-site ventilation assessment
• Update your permitting database automatically
• Email the applicant when their permit is approved or if additional information is needed

Secure document collection and record keeping

Permit applications require supporting documentation—facility blueprints, ventilation system specifications, equipment certifications, and proof of insurance. Paperform's file upload fields make it easy for applicants to attach all required documents in one submission. Everything is securely stored and easily accessible for review, eliminating the hassle of chasing down missing paperwork.

For facilities requiring signed compliance agreements or operator certifications, Papersign lets you convert permit conditions into legally binding documents that can be signed electronically, creating a complete audit trail from application to approval.
