BELMAR, N.J., Jan. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A transition
from paper to digital processes is underway in Belmar, New Jersey where local officials have
sought greater efficiency in municipal operations and constituent
services. The borough recently partnered with GovPilot, a
Hoboken, New Jersey headquartered
provider of cloud-based government management software.
A popular summer destination, Belmar officials are working with GovPilot to
digitize a number of services including business and landlord
registration, Certificates of Occupancy for seasonal rental
properties and resales, and apartment building registrations. This
will enable residents to apply for documentation digitally -
directly through Belmar's
municipal website.
Additionally, the borough has deployed GovPilot's
Report-a-Concern feature which enables residents and visitors to
report non-emergency concerns such as potholes or general code
violations directly via a digital form on the town website, or
through an app on their phone, called GovAlert. The app,
available on Android and iOS devices is easy to use, and routes
citizen concerns directly to the relevant municipal department so
that the issue can be resolved quickly.
"We receive numerous requests and registrations in our office
each month, and we came to realize that transitioning to a digital
environment would be beneficial,"
Said April Claudio the borough's
Clerk. "GovPilot will provide our residents an ability to interact
with their government in a convenient, efficient, and COVID-19 safe
way."
Michael Bonner, the founder and
CEO of GovPilot said, "We are excited to work with Belmar on the borough's early stages of
digital transformation. In partnering with local governments across
the country we have found that digital processes generate
significant increases in efficiency and productivity that have a
positive impact on local budgets, services, and constituent
experience. We expect to see similar results in Belmar, and we are proud to support another
New Jersey
municipality."
