why ion for local government
the right solution,
built for your sector
e-permit workflows
Our workflow software automates the intake, assessment, and approval of development applications, dramatically reducing processing times and improving the service community members experience.
audit-ready public records
FOI-compliant document archives with complete access logs ensure every council record is preserved, retrievable, and auditable in accordance with government records obligations.
cost-recovery print management
Managed print with our print management software reduces taxpayer spend through fleet consolidation, cost transparency, and usage reporting that identifies wasteful printing across all council facilities.
the ion difference in local government
serve more citizens with the same team.
Council staff are buried in paper: permit applications, correspondence, meeting minutes, and public records. Manual document handling slows every process and increases compliance risk. ion automates the workflow so your team can focus on service.
DA applications manually logged, assessed, and communicated
Our software routes incoming applications to the right assessors instantly with automated citizen status updates.
Council meeting minutes manually prepared and distributed
Digital workflows collect agenda items, distribute agenda packs, and archive approved minutes automatically.
FOI requests requiring manual searches across multiple filing systems
our full-text search retrieves any public record in seconds across the entire archive.
Public printing costs unmanaged across libraries and service centres
Our managed print software provides real-time usage dashboards, cost-recovery billing, and per-device reporting for council facilities.
