What do we do?

 

We empower governments to deliver exceptional citizen experiences

 

Clariti Cloud Inc. is in the business of building SaaS technology to transform the way governments serve their citizens. Our product has real world implications - this means nursing licenses renewed at a faster rate to mitigate staffing shortages in healthcare, tighter turnaround on the permits you need to get started on that home renovation project you’ve been excited about, smoother processing of business licenses to enable entrepreneurs to make their dream a reality, and the list goes on. We’ve realized the issues that come with outdated solutions that are difficult to maintain and support, or even worse, paper-based processes that are no longer scaleable - and this is what drives us to do what we do, continuously improve, and to disrupt the status quo.  In a nutshell, we are supporting governments to digitize their workflows so they are internally more efficient while managing permit requests, and externally resolving citizen’ issues transparently and effectively.
