“Thanks to Fusion, today 45% of permits are issued in 30 minutes and 72% of previous license queries are answered automatically without the need for human interaction.”
Meet the City of Rio De Janeiro:
City of Rio De Janeiro

The City of Rio De Janeiro is Brazil’s second largest city and home to over 6 million residents.

The City of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil’s second largest city and home to over 6 million residents, was looking to reduce their bureaucratic processes and turnaround time when it came to issuing permits. At the time, the average time in Rio De Janeiro to obtain a permit was 54 days, which was almost twice the Latin America average of 29 days. For more complicated permitting activities, the process could take years.


The Challenge:

Streamlining Rio De Janeiro’s permitting process required an involved review of the entire licensing process for commercial establishments. Any solution would need to support all aspects of the permitting process including site queries and licensing.

“19 regional inspection offices were reduced to nine, resulting in a 25% increase in permit fees from the year prior to implementation.”
The Outcome:

Prior to the Fusion implementation, the 11-step permit process would take anywhere from 23 days to several years for complex scenarios. Today the average is 8.3 days, although in almost half of the cases the processing time is less than a half hour.
