One of British Columbia’s best workplaces in tech just got a little bigger.
Clariti announced recently the acquisition of Camino Technologies, an emerging permitting and licensing software company serving small and mid-sized government organizations.
Both companies will continue to focus products and teams that support customers: Clariti on serving North America’s largest and fastest growing communities with its Community Development Platform, and Camino on providing small and medium-sized governments with its intuitive, easy-to-use platform.
“Camino has developed the best next-generation product for small and medium-sized governments that will perfectly complement Clariti’s leading enterprise permitting and licensing platform,” stated Clariti Co-CEO Cyrus Symoom. “Our commitment to both products will enable us to serve governments of all sizes for decades to come.”
Together Clariti and Camino will deliver permitting and licensing software for over 150 million people.
“This is more than just business as usual for Camino,” said Camino chief executive Mike Rosengarten. “We have seen Clariti’s commitment to product innovation that will now include Camino. They share in our vision of delivering exceptional customer experiences, which is why we’re so excited to join forces with increased funding and support.”
Moving forward, “We’ll look for opportunities to leverage technology from both platforms to improve customer experience,” the company stated online. “The investment in our product teams will help to ensure Clariti customers have the most modern solutions available.”
The entire Camino Team, including its founders, is joining Clariti, according to a statement from the firm.
“We couldn’t be more excited to usher in a new modern era of government permitting and licensing software,” Clariti said. “We look forward to working with government agencies of all sizes during a time of heightened pressure on government staff to deliver exceptional services to constituents.”
“We will continue to look for ways to enhance the experience for Clariti and Camino customers and the communities they serve,” added Co-CEO Jake Dancyger. “The services our customers provide to citizens and businesses are critical, and our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences is only bolstered through the two companies coming together.”
While terms of the deal were not disclosed, Clariti expects its employee base to grow by 50% by the end of 2023.
The Canadian company launched in Vancouver in 2008. Known then as BasicGov, the platform was created as an alternative to code-heavy, non-configurable systems that create technology barriers for governments to meet their community’s evolving needs.
Camino was founded in the Bay Area in 2017 to transform the permitting process into an experience that is user-friendly, efficient, and transparent.
