TRAKiT allows the city personnel to utilize a fully integrated and automated system for the entire land development process from initial concept through post occupancy compliance. TRAKiT features a variety of workflow processes that assist in tracking applications for permits for projects and individual permits, reviews by the various Service Units (Engineering, System Planning etc.) and related approval processes.   TRAKiT Software also keeps a transaction history for all procedures that happen within any of the Building and Development permitting processes, providing an audit trail.    
 
It is imperative to maintain the maintenance and support agreement with CRW Systems, Inc. in order to receive periodic product updates and maintain technical support for the software.
 
FY2012's annual maintenance and support for CRW Systems, Inc.'s TRAKiT System was budgeted for and paid by the FY2012 Information Technology Services Unit budget.  Funding for the FY2013 annual maintenance and support for CRW Systems, Inc.'s TRAKiT System is budgeted for and available in the FY2013 Information Technology Services Unit budget.
 
CRW Systems received Human Rights and Living Wage approvals on December 20, 2012.
