We’re thrilled to announce that Avolve has been selected for the prestigious Esri State and Local Government Specialty designation — a recognition that underscores our commitment to transforming how local governments can elevate plan review utilizing integrated, leading technologies like Esri GIS.
This designation is particularly meaningful because Esri awarded it in recognition of the groundbreaking work we’ve done integrating ArcGIS technology into our electronic plan review platforms. This new functionality, Avolve GIS, already live in our DigEplan product, and coming to ProjectDox in its next release, makes us the first and only electronic plan review solution to achieve deep integration with ArcGIS, which allows plan reviewers to see the full site picture, right where they work.
What The Esri Partner Specialty Program Means for Local Governments
This specialty designation validates partners who demonstrate expertise in working with state and local governments using ArcGIS technology. Partners in the State and Local Government specialty apply their knowledge and expertise in configuring ArcGIS, deploying ArcGIS Solutions, delivering content, professional services or solutions aligned with and in support of the customers goals and vision.
From the local government perspective, this designation represents more than just a badge of honor for us — it’s a seal of assurance that Avolve has the proven expertise to deliver ArcGIS-powered solutions that drive real results for state and local agencies.
Why Spatial Intelligence Matters for Modern Plan Review
Today’s plan reviewers face increasing pressure to accelerate approvals while maintaining rigorous compliance standards. With traditional review methods, plan reviewers are left toggling between various solutions to glean the spatial context they need to make informed decisions. This disjointed experience creates delays, leads to rework, and can extend the permitting process timelines, frustrating agencies and applicants in the process. By bringing geographic context into the review process, agencies can:
Introducing Avolve GIS: Spatial Intelligence Meets Electronic Plan Review
Traditional plan review often happens in a vacuum. Reviewers, who juggle multiple projects daily, end up toggling between 2D plans and GIS maps to manually cross-reference location data. Not only is this an inefficient use of time, but manual processes mean critical infrastructure conflicts, zoning constraints, or environmental factors might be missed.
Our Avolve GIS functionality represents a fundamental shift in how plan reviewers will be able to approach their work. By embedding a geographic map view directly within DigEplan and ProjectDox, we’re eliminating the blind spots that have long plagued the review process and ensuring stronger code awareness from the start.
Here’s how we’re accelerating permit approvals with spatial intelligence:
A Partnership That Sets Us Apart
Our partnership with Esri positions us at the forefront of spatial intelligence innovation, ensuring that local governments have access to the most advanced GIS capabilities during their plan review process, without sacrificing the reliability and ease-of-use that defines the Avolve experience.
We’re beyond proud that our collaboration has also led to receipt of the coveted Esri State and Government Specialty partner designation.
