About
GovPilot is a modern government management software platform built specifically for municipal and county governments. It provides more than 125 configurable modules that span all local government departments, enabling staff to replace paper-based processes and single-purpose legacy tools with end-to-end digital workflows on one secure, cloud-based system. Core capabilities include process automation (digital forms, automated routing, and e-payments), a PropertyProfile feature that unifies parcel-level data across departments in real time, citizen engagement tools (online portals, report-a-concern submissions, and status tracking), and GIS-integrated data visualization for smarter decision-making. Two companion mobile apps — GovAlert and GovInspect — let residents report community concerns and allow inspectors to reference codes, take notes, and upload photos in the field. GovPilot is designed for government staff of all technical levels, requiring no coding to configure workflows. Its reporting engine lets administrators pull cross-departmental data and generate reports with a single click, reducing hours of manual compilation. The platform has been named a GovTech 100 Company for eight consecutive years and holds a 4.6/5 rating on Capterra for government software. It is trusted by governments ranging from small boroughs to large counties across the United States, including Atlantic City, Bergen County, Hudson County, and Jackson County.
