Easy, simple boating permits for every municipality: introducing boat launch software.

Municipal staff already have a lot on their plate! While blue skies and sunshine are important to some of us, to a municipal worker boating permits may move slightly lower on the (never-ending) list of to-dos. 

Fortunately for you, Town Web website design for government, has an amazing digital transformation team (who does like blue skies and sunshine) but also likes to make the lives of municipal workers easier!‍

Town Web is proud to introduce to you: HeyGov’s boat launch software! ‍

HeyGov learned that municipal boat launches are often managed through a physical process: an application form together with cash or a check is dropped in a dropbox. Municipal staff have to go to the dropbox, open all the envelopes and reconcile all the monies. This process can be inconvenient, especially for the out-of-towners. A difficult application process leads to lost revenue from people who would have paid if they had a convenient payment solution.‍

HeyGov's Boat Launch Software is the solution municipalities have been waiting for. It's digital software that allows boaters to use their phone to register to use the boat launch and pay for it. It’s as easy as scanning a QR code!‍

The Town of Somerset has a website design for government, and decided to make services available online for the residents. The municipality signed up with HeyGov to make boating in their community simpler and faster. Sometimes people would have to apply by going to town hall and paying in person. Or most of the time, especially during weekends, by filling in a paper application and depositing money into a steel metal box. Municipal staff or the County PD had to check the box over the weekends for permits and bank the money. Boaters would call saying they don’t carry the correct change or don’t have a checkbook on them.

This would mean a loss of revenue in the past, until now when they started using HeyGov. That income can be used to better the community‍

Using HeyGov to streamline their boating permits means: 

1. Greater convenience for their boaters, especially for those out-of-town boaters.
2. Reduced cost to manage the boat launch since they won't need to contract with the County PD to check on the dropbox throughout the weekend.
3. Reduced phone calls and emails from worried boaters who leave messages over the weekends about not being able to pay.
4. Boaters are on the right side of the law!

If boating is a priority in your community, contact HeyGov at heygov@heygov.com or book a call with our team at https://heygov.com/drop-in-demo to chat through a solution for you! It can also be custom for your case, like they’ve been doing with Big Cedar Lake Protection District.
