Why people use Accela

Accela for Ending Manual Civic Portal Navigation

This Connector changes that by letting you talk to your civic data instead of fighting with a UI. You can ask your agent to find specific applications, check the status of a building permit, or pull up the history of a land parcel. It handles the heavy lifting of record management, so you can spend more time on actual planning and less time on data entry.
