Many local governments are struggling with their property tax and utility billing processes, primarily due to reliance on outdated procedures and software systems. These legacy systems have led to operational issues, including administrative burdens, inaccuracies in billing data, and a lack of timely regulatory compliance. The use of siloed, inefficient software not only necessitates manual interventions, leading to delays, but also compromises the trust and engagement of a municipality's most discernable critics— its citizens. These older systems often struggle to adapt to new regulations and aren't user-friendly, which will inevitably lead to significant investments in both cost and employee time. This current situation underscores the critical need for an overhaul and modernisation in the property tax and utility billing space.
Enter MUNIvers

By understanding the inefficiencies, inaccuracies, and administrative burdens wrought by outdated systems, we sought to innovate and streamline these critical processes. MUNIvers aims to transform municipal operations by leveraging the power of the Salesforce platform, making them more efficient, transparent, and adaptable to changing regulations.
