Modernized CPL Application Process

Download the Full Case Study

"BeforePermitDirector, our process was a nightmare. Everything was walk-in with people literally lined up outside the door down the street for blocks, waiting for two hours to apply."
- Rebecca Hendricks, Records Manager

The Customer

Before switching to PermitDirector, South Sound 911 utilized a walk-in, paper-based concealed pistol license application system with no efficient appointment setting option. Long lines and too much office traffic were causing stress and delays for both citizens and staff. After implementing PermitDirector, office traffic decreased by 90%!
