Merced County, CA, has expanded its Velosimo Connect™ lineup with an Accela to Bluebeam integration — their second Velosimo connector. This addition reduces manual steps, improves visibility across plan review, and helps keep permitting work moving. Thanks to eTech for their partnership throughout implementation. We’re proud to support the county as they continue building a more connected digital permitting experience. Read the full announcement to learn more. https://bit.ly/3X5feqA

Why do virtual Inspections matter for agencies? Virtual inspections go beyond video calls with contractors. When properly integrated with an agency’s Land Management System, they touch every aspect of the inspection workflow—from how contractors request appointments to how evidence is captured and stored, and how inspectors review and report their work. https://lnkd.in/gqevBe6A

Before partnering with Accela, Merced County used 100% paper processes. Their Public Works ran entirely on manual spreadsheet tracking with no digital capabilities. Now, the county has 100% online submittals and payments, public-facing portals for self-service, and integrated workflows that allow staff across departments to work on the same records seamlessly.
