Utility Billing Modules
Comprehensive Utility Billing Solutions
In the past, municipalities had few options for customer billing and payments. Customers received paper bills in the mail and then either mailed in a check or visited the appropriate agency in person to make a payment with cash. As an alternative, our billing software offers the following benefits:
- Cloud-based platform: Muni-Link is a cloud-based platform, which means our system is accessible from any device that connects to the internet. Residents can easily check on their bills and schedule payments from anywhere using our system. Our cloud-based platform also makes it easier for your municipality to process bills, as all you need is an internet connection.
- Individualized attention: Adopting a new system requires a bit of time and effort. There’s usually a learning curve as your team members adapt and adjust to the new platform. We provide individualized attention to each of our customers throughout the implementation process.
- Streamlined payment collection: Missed or late payments cost your municipality money and time. Using utility billing software makes it easier for customers to automate payments or pay electronically, reducing payment delays.
- Improved customer service: No one wants to be put on hold, even if it’s just a few minutes. Muni-Link improves the customer service experience by simplifying communication and reducing wait times. Plus, if there’s a general announcement you need to make to all customers, you can do so easily through our software.
- Real-time service tracking: When technicians have to travel to a customer’s home, our real-time service tracking feature allows for simplified service visit management and planning.
