Timeline
Path to Payback
Most municipalities achieve full platform payback within 12–18 months through reduced consulting dependency, eliminated spreadsheet-based processes, improved inspector productivity, and avoided emergency repair costs. A 15,000-population municipality typically recovers $120K–$200K in Year 1.
