Frequently asked questions about Pronto and permits

What is Pronto by Activis for municipalities?

Pronto is a permit application pre-validation tool. It helps residents check plan details and see what to correct before submitting their official application.

How does pre-validation work? Can a hand-drawn plan be used?

In a municipality’s configured pre-validator, AI analyzes the plan, including a hand-drawn sketch. Residents confirm the extracted details, fill in missing information and review recommendations before submitting.

Does pre-validation mean a permit has been issued?

No. Pre-validation is not an issued permit. The municipality confirms the final analysis and makes the decision during official application processing.

Can Pronto be added to a municipal website without replacing existing systems?

The pre-validator can be added to a municipality’s website and works independently of its permit management systems.

Can I upload a plan or process a permit application on this page?

No. This marketing page presents illustrations of the process; no plan is uploaded or analyzed here, and no permit application is processed here.

Does pre-validation ask for personal information? What about a demo request?

Pre-validation does not ask for personal information. The demo request form is separate and collects your contact details so the Activis team can contact you.
