ASHEVILLE, N.C., April 17, 2025 — Ecobot, the leading platform for environmental permitting, proudly announces its selection as a winner of the 2024 Environmental Business Journal (EBJ) Business Achievement Award in the Information Technology category. This year's recognition highlights Ecobot's continued leadership in modernizing environmental consulting through intelligent automation, geospatial technology, and AI-enhanced workflows.

By automating tedious or repetitive steps in the reporting process, and offering resources and suggestions for fieldwork, Ecobot significantly enhances efficiency and accuracy in environmental assessments—cutting reporting time by 50% while helping teams stay compliant with evolving regulations.
