Meet current GL Suite user, Suanne Parnell.

Listen to Suanne share her agency’s modernization journey.
Before GL Suite, every interaction created a pile of paperwork that the AHBLB staff had to process by hand.
Keeping up with demand was a constant struggle, and manual processes inevitably led to errors: lost forms, typos and more.
Inflexible Processes Couldn’t Evolve or Scale
Already overwhelmed, the board reached a tipping point when it was asked to add more complexity to the licensing process. They were already stretched beyond capacity, and their manual processes couldn’t scale.
By automating processes and turning workflows electronic, Suanne drastically increased capacity and accuracy using GL Suite. The board now has an electronic system for tracking and processing home builder and roofer new licenses and renewals.
And when they need to add complexity or new elements to meet unique needs (like monitoring a new continuing education requirement), GL Suite makes it possible.
Real time savings and improved accuracy in every single interaction with our government software mean that Suanne can do more with less.
