The City of Fresno, CA selects OpenGov to modernize and streamline Cannabis licensing

Nov 11, 2020 – The City of Fresno, CA has partnered with OpenGov – the leader in cloud software for government budgeting, permitting and licensing, and financial management – to drive efficiency for staff and improve the quality and convenience of services for community members.

The City of Fresno joins over a thousand public sector organizations leveraging OpenGov to revolutionize work processes with cloud-based software designed specifically for the needs of government. For Fresno, OpenGov will provide software that automates the licensing and approval processes for the retail and commercial licenses related to cannabis. This is a brand new process for the City and so ensuring ease of use for applicants as well as streamlined and timely processing workflows is critical. The City and OpenGov worked together to design an internal workflow engine along with the external storefront and had the process live within ten days of beginning the project.

OpenGov Vice President Tim Melton shared, “We are thrilled to add the City of Fresno to our growing list of government partners, and look forward to helping them usher in a new era of technology and innovation to address their challenges. Fresno’s commitment to modernizing services and improving efficiency is apparent, and we are excited to help them deliver for both residents and employees.”
