Clariti, in partnership with Unisys, is pleased to announce that the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) has selected Clariti’s enterprise community development software to replace its current system. The system is designed to improve the customer experience, reduce department costs, and streamline processes to save staff time. It will consolidate all LADBS development services departments into one unified platform, making it easier for customers, small businesses, and contractors to interact with the city for all permitting activities.
LADBS selected Clariti’s all-in-one permitting platform to replace its legacy system and deliver a fully digital process from application through approval to completion. In 2023, LADBS issued over 167,000 permits with over 5.8 billion in valuation, conducted more than 1 million inspections, and approved over 83,000 plans.
Unisys, a leading global technology solutions provider and trusted Clariti partner, will lead the implementation. As part of the project, Unisys will work with the City of Los Angeles to create a new innovative city-wide system that will simplify and accelerate the permitting and licensing process for its people.
“We’re thrilled to partner with the City of Los Angeles on this transformative project,” said Jim MacLaggan, Executive Vice President of Sales at Clariti. “This initiative is unprecedented in scale, and it underscores Clariti’s leadership in delivering the digital government services that cities like Los Angeles need to stay ahead."
For residents and businesses, the new system will offer:
- A single point of entry to do business with the city online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- One central dashboard to apply, pay for, and track the status of all LADBS applications
- Secure identity management and data protection
For city staff, the system will provide:
- Increased customer self-service options, reducing the need for in-person contact
- Time-saving tools to accelerate reviews, inspections, and approvals
- Improved reporting and data analysis capabilities
- A strong foundation for ongoing technology and process improvements
“We are excited to work with the City of Los Angeles to drive the modernization of its services, leveraging our extensive public sector expertise,” said Manju Naglapur, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cloud, Applications, & Infrastructure Solutions at Unisys. “We are committed to enhancing the user experience by ensuring the seamless and efficient deployment of Clariti’s platform, as part of this strong collaboration.”
