Community-development and permitting product (eTRAKiT) within CentralSquare's broad public-sector portfolio.
Procurery Insight
eTRAKiT comes from CentralSquare, a large public-sector vendor whose breadth across public safety, finance, and community development is the main attraction for agencies wanting a single large supplier. The permitting product is established and serviceable, but it carries a more legacy feel than newer cloud entrants, and experiences vary with CentralSquare's services delivery. Most relevant for agencies already in, or consolidating onto, the CentralSquare portfolio.
