Simplified reviews.

EKN standardizes permit workflows for utilities and agencies. Replace spreadsheets, emails, and paper handoffs with automated routing, traceable approvals, and complete audit visibility.
The Challenge

Utilities face growing pressure to move permits faster while meeting local, state, and federal requirements. However, most permitting still relies on disconnected systems like spreadsheets, email inboxes, and manual routing.

Applications stall between departments
Approvals lack visibility, pushing construction schedules out by weeks or months
Multi-agency coordination creates bottlenecks
and uncertainty
Performance gaps widen not because teams lack data, but because they lack a unified way to act on it.
