Schneider Geospatial Adds FCT to Advance Digital Permitting

CLEVELAND & DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Align Capital Partners’ (“ACP”) portfolio company Schneider Geospatial, LLC (“Schneider Geospatial” or the “Company”) acquired Full Circle Technologies (“FCT”), a Boston-based permitting & licensing software company that streamlines permitting for municipal departments. FCT’s cloud-based PermitEyes application allows government officials to electronically receive applications, collect electronic payments, conduct inspections and issue permits.

“We are thrilled to have Full Circle Technologies’ customers and employees join Schneider, furthering our reach to better service communities in New England,” said Jeff Corns, CEO of Schneider Geospatial. “FCT’s expertise in local government permitting & licensing and their outstanding reputation for customer service make it a perfect fit with Schneider. Together, we will continue delivering powerful solutions that help communities work more efficiently with improved citizen engagement.”

Since 2001, FCT has empowered municipalities to move beyond paper-based processes with end-to-end tools for managing permits, inspections, licensing and internal collaboration. Designed for flexibility, the system offers integrated GIS, mobile field capabilities, online payments and configurable workflows to meet the unique needs of each community.

“We’ve always believed that software should adapt to the community, not the other way around,” said Rajan P. Nanda, CEO and Founder of Full Circle Technologies. “Joining Schneider Geospatial enables us to bring our mission to more municipalities nationwide, while continuing to deliver the same flexible, responsive service our clients rely on. It’s a true alignment of vision, values and opportunity.”

The acquisition allows Schneider Geospatial to further strengthen its permitting and licensing solution and reinforces its commitment to serving the evolving needs of state and local governments. FCT’s clients will continue receiving the high-touch support they expect, now backed by the expanded resources and innovation capacity of a national GovTech platform.

FCT marks the fifth add-on for the Company since ACP acquired Schneider Geospatial in June of 2022. Partner Matt Iodice, Managing Partner Chris Jones, Vice President Andrew Foster and Senior Associate Matt Sweet worked alongside management on the transaction.
