About Avolve

Avolve is the global market leader in electronic plan review for local governments.

At Avolve we digitalize the review and approval of plans for permit applications, for both citizen and commercial planning developments. This enables government jurisdictions to improve efficiency and processes, as well as optimizing the experience for both permit applicants and plan reviewers.

We have over 350 customers globally and are expanding fast, because we have a suite of best-in-class solutions that offer choice to cities, counties, municipalities, and states. We partner with some of the leading technology providers out there, including Microsoft, Google, and Esri – in fact, we are the only vendor that has Esri GIS functionality embedded in the plan review solution, which has earned us the Esri State and Local Government Specialty in recognition for our innovation.
