GovTech & Housing Software Consulting
The planning expertise software developers and municipalities need to build products that work in the real world of government workflows and housing policy.
The Bridge Between Policy and Technology
Government technology fails when it’s built without understanding how planning and housing agencies actually operate. Baystate fills that gap — providing the planning domain expertise that helps software companies build products that fit real workflows, and helping municipalities find and procure the right tools.
We’ve worked inside planning departments, housing authorities, and regional planning commissions. We know the data they use, the processes they follow, the regulations they’re bound by, and the procurement processes they must navigate.
Whether you’re a developer building a housing waitlist platform or a town seeking to modernize your permitting system, we speak both languages — planning policy and software development.
