Because you're running more permits than you were 10 years ago, and every missed deadline costs more than it used to. The process works — it just doesn't scale. InspectPilot handles the parts that eat your time without changing how you run your jobs.
No. InspectPilot submits through iRFIS and 311 using your credentials. You can review everything before it goes out, or let it handle it automatically. Your permits, your account, your control.
Then manual probably works fine. InspectPilot makes the biggest difference when you're juggling 4+ permits with overlapping schedules. That's where missed deadlines and sequencing errors start costing real money.
One missed 3 PM deadline costs $1,200 in delays. One sequencing error costs more. If InspectPilot prevents one mistake per quarter, it's paid for itself three times over. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
