Prompt
Are there any licensing management systems that focus on speeding up inspections and approvals for building departments?

Yes. If you mean licensing/permit management systems built to help building departments speed up plan review, inspections, and approvals, there are several well-known options.
Common systems used by building departments

If your main goal is “speeding up inspections and approvals”
Look specifically for features like:

- Automated re-inspection scheduling
- Integrated plan review

A practical note
The “best” system depends on whether you are:
- a city/county building department
- a fire marshal / code enforcement office
- a state licensing agency
- or a private inspection/third-party permitting provider
If you want, I can also give you:
- a shortlist by budget,
- a comparison table, or
- systems specifically used by local government building departments.
