DAs, permits and service requests pile up. We automate intake, routing and compliance checks—transparent, auditable and citizen-friendly—without swapping core systems.
Transform your operations with proven AI solutions that integrate seamlessly with your existing systems. Human-in-the-loop automation that drives real results.
Key focus areas:
For Australian local government teams, the best first AI automations usually target repeat admin work: intake, document preparation, routing, status updates, and follow-ups. SG1 runs these as supervised pilots with human approval checkpoints and measurable targets for hours saved and cycle-time improvement.
We build around the systems your team already uses (Council management systems, GIS platforms, Document management, Citizen portals), then add workflow logic, document handling, and review steps. The goal is faster execution without forcing a full software replacement.
A scoped workflow, baseline metrics, human-in-the-loop controls, supervised rollout, and a review of outcomes against target ROI (150-300%) before any broader expansion.
| Workflow area | What AI can handle | Human checkpoint |
|---|---|---|
| Automated permit and licence processing | Drafting, classification, routing, reminders, and data prep tasks inside the workflow. | Approval on exceptions, sensitive outputs, and final decisions. |
| AI-powered citizen service chatbots | Drafting, classification, routing, reminders, and data prep tasks inside the workflow. | Approval on exceptions, sensitive outputs, and final decisions. |
| Automated compliance monitoring and reporting | Drafting, classification, routing, reminders, and data prep tasks inside the workflow. | Approval on exceptions, sensitive outputs, and final decisions. |
| Intelligent document management systems | Drafting, classification, routing, reminders, and data prep tasks inside the workflow. | Approval on exceptions, sensitive outputs, and final decisions. |
