Permitting and licensing solution from Brightly (formerly Dude Solutions), now part of Siemens.
Procurery Insight
SmartGov sits inside Brightly's broader operations portfolio (now Siemens-owned), which appeals to agencies that already use Brightly for asset or facilities management and want permitting from the same vendor. As a focused permitting-and-licensing product it covers the essentials for small and mid-size jurisdictions, though it is less of a standalone market leader than the enterprise suites. Most compelling as part of a wider Brightly footprint.

Illustrative figures, not verified buyer interviews — we're replacing them with data sourced from public award records. This is the hardest-to-copy layer: provenance-tracked and concentrated on the vendors buyers actually shortlist.
