Licensing

StarGO is a comprehensive licencing software application for the public sector. The cloud based permits and licensing software enables local government to optimise the services they provide for their citizens and provide value for money to council taxpayers.

StarTraq’s experienced team can help local authorities with one specific service or provide digital transformation across multiple services. All services can be accessed by the public online using an internet enabled device.

If required, license information can be passed to the national DfT Street Manager solution via API.

Permits and Licensing software with Cardiff Council

Cardiff Council, like many other authorities, has the challenge of effectively managing their licensing, permits and enforcement. Great strides have already been made in the parking service provision in Cardiff. However, it was identified that there was limited digital transformation taking place across other services specifically in the areas of Environmental Enforcement and Highways Licensing, where annually, the delivery of 20,000 enforcement processes and 2,500 highways licensing applications were taking place via paper-based systems in 2016. Find out how we streamlined Cardiff Council’s permits and licensing process in our case study below.
