About

The platform includes three core products: Clariti Enterprise, designed for large governments with high-volume and complex permitting requirements; Clariti Launch, a quick-to-deploy solution for small to mid-sized governments; and CivCheck, an AI plan review tool that assists staff in checking submitted plans against local building codes. With Clariti, government staff can configure workflows, add jurisdiction-specific rules, and make real-time updates—all without writing code. Ready-to-go process frameworks are built from best practices used by leading local governments, dramatically reducing setup time. CivCheck covers 99% of code books and enables go-live in just a few weeks, with all AI interpretations subject to mandatory staff review and approval before action is taken. The platform also offers managed integrations with GIS, finance, and inspection systems to streamline data sharing across departments. Clariti is trusted by major jurisdictions including Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Orange County. It is ideal for permitting managers, community development departments, and government CIOs looking to modernize their operations, reduce backlogs, and maintain compliance without heavy reliance on IT teams.
