The System of Receiving, Pursuing, Handling, and Responding to the Applicants’ Complaints about Business Licenses


Description

"The System of Receiving, Pursuing, Handling and Responding to the Applicants’ Complaints about Business Licenses (DADVAR)" is a supervisory-responsibility system which began in late 2016 and currently is implemented and utilized in all provinces of the country. This web-based system provides business licenses applicants with the ability of filing and pursuing complaints. According to relevant regulations, the related authorities are obligated to handle the complaint or refer it to a higher authority (for more investigation) within 7 working days.
By the means of dashboards designed dedicatedly for senior executives and regulatory agencies, they are able to monitor the performance and response times of authorities issuing licenses, as well as, public feedbacks about status of license issuance processes. It can be employed for investigating and handling the problems of people in this area.
The goals of this system are:
• Creating an effective and reliable communication between people and the government.
• Identifying and supporting micro and macro businesses and female-headed households
• Eliminating the challenges of economic activists including educated people, artists, entrepreneurs and especially low-income groups.
Moreover, through streamlining the processes, this project leads to improving the business environment, as well as, promoting economic growth of low-income households. Hence, full implementation of the project will be the key to the country's economic development.
The system is able to cover related court cases without any restriction in the number of cases.
