Built for the public sector, by people who understand it.
CivicPermit.Solutions was founded on a simple idea: civic software should be modern, defensible, affordable, and built around the workflows the public sector actually runs.
Our story
Bayhan Technologies Inc. was founded in May 2025 in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Our principals had spent decades in regulated, audit-heavy software environments — banking, payment systems, and large-scale infrastructure delivery — and kept seeing the same gap on the public-sector side: small and mid-sized municipalities and utilities deserved better tooling than spreadsheets, legacy desktop applications, and enterprise platforms priced for someone else.
We set out to build that better tooling, one solution area at a time, on a single shared platform. Every product on this site is production-ready and grounded in how the public sector actually operates — not what it looks like from a sales deck.
“Our mission is to give Canadian municipalities and utilities modern, defensible, audit-ready software for the work that matters most — and to do it from New Brunswick, in-house, at a price the public sector can actually justify.”
