GovPilot Launches to Power Local Governments in the Cloud

Hoboken, NJ, July 13, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​​​​​​​​​GovPilot, founded by Michael Bonner,  announces its launch, aiming to re-imagine local government management. The cloud-based platform delivers a suite of productivity, mobile and automation applications that will improve the delivery of services to constituents while simplifying real time data collection and analysis for municipal and county-level governments.​

GovPilot is an offshoot of PropertyPilot, founded in 2012. With high demand from local governments for PropertyPilot’s cloud-hosted solutions, the company decided to create a platform that narrowly focuses on the needs of municipalities, counties and state agencies.

According to MIchael Bonner, GovPilot Founder and CEO “Governments are increasingly turning to 3rd-party software to manage their various departments and divisions, seeking cost-savings and technical expertise”. He says that “GovPilot is uniquely positioned in the marketplace to meet the next generation IT needs of governments as they embrace the cloud, big-data analysis and mobile solutions”.

Constraining budgets and falling tax revenues make it challenging for most governments to invest in a scalable, long-term technology infrastructure. As a result, the public sector lags behind the private sector in innovation. GovPilot narrows the innovation gap by providing local governments with the tools that help them drive “paperless” efficiency while enabling them meet the public's expectations for on-demand mobile services.

The GovPilot platform includes the following features and capabilities:

• Public and internal GIS: proprietary, user-friendly geographic information system that requires no technical expertise to deploy and manage.

• Productivity modules: Department, division and use-case specific modules that collectively run many of the business processes of local and county governments. This includes Code Enforcement, Permitting and Licensing, Public Requests, Animal Control and more.

• E-Commerce and E-Government: GovPilot-hosted digital forms make access to government services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

• Pre-loaded data: GovPilot is pre-loaded with robust datasets, including property tax assessment, ownership information and foreclosure data.

Mr. Bonner remarks that “The potential to improve local government management is enormous. Having worked with numerous governments, we have built a forward-thinking platform that addresses their most significant technology pain points.”
