The permit renewal approval process is an important process carried out in the energy and utility industry that ensures regulatory compliance. The process starts with reviewing the existing permits, assessing the necessity of the change, and ensuring all the documentation is achieved. This is followed by the final approval. Traditional methods involve a manual approval process that is completely paper or email-based. Such a process is error-prone and often leads to delays in acquiring the approval, as it goes for multiple rounds of reviews and changes. This can delay the renewal of the permit. Workflow automation solutions can enhance and transform the process to a much better efficiency. Through automation, the process is completely streamlined by aligning all the reviewers and approvers with the right stages.
