VIP’s Land Management and Licensing Solution Goes Live for the City of North Port, Florida

Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP) is proud to announce the successful launch of its Accela software solution for the City of North Port, Florida in December 2024.This milestone marks a significant advancement in modernizing the City’s land management and licensing processes.

In May 2023, VIP was awarded the contract to enhance the City’s systems with a state-of-the-art, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software solution powered by Accela. The new system brings multiple improvements to North Port’s operations, including enhanced automation, seamless integration, precise data migration, streamlined workflows, and an overall improved user experience for both the City’s vendor developers and residential communities.

The Accela-powered solution positions the City of North Port in line with neighboring municipalities that have already adopted this industry-leading platform. The solution allows users to easily initiate, submit, and track the status of permits and licenses in real-time from a computer, smartphone, or tablet. This streamlined system reduces manual processes, eliminates redundancies, and enhances interdepartmental workflow efficiency — ultimately shortening cycle times for City services.

“The successful launch of the Accela software marks a pivotal step in our mission to modernize land management and licensing processes in North Port,” said Joshua Spears, Project Manager for the City of North Port. “This system not only streamlines our internal operations but also delivers a seamless and user-friendly experience for customers and residents alike. We are thrilled with the results and the long-term value this transformation will bring to our community.”

This solution aligns with North Port’s strategic goals to enhance service delivery, improve interdepartmental collaboration, and create a more sustainable, efficient operational environment.
