Internet Collections, Internal Collections Management, and Delinquency Enforcement

The collection and enforcement of taxes, utilities, special assessments, and other obligations is a necessary but complex and time-consuming task. Government needs a way to streamline the process, ensure legal integrity, optimize cash flow, and minimize effort.

Systems East offers two comprehensive solutions: Internet Collections for your constituents and the Total Collection Solution  as your in-house collection management tool:

è Internet Collections: Our latest innovation, www.municipal-payments.com, delivers the Internet payment solution the public has been asking for. They can search for their bills by the criteria you specify, view bills including interest as you define, and pay by credit card, debit card, or electronic check (anyone with a checking account can do this). They can pay any type of bill from any enrolled municipality, even in different states, all in a single payment.

For demonstration, please visit www.municipal-payments.com and click to accept the terms - the State of New York, City of Demonstration will automatically be selected. Select bill type "Utility bills" and use Smith as the owner. Your constituents have been waiting for this convenience.

è Total Collection Solution: This is the third generation of the Systems East Tax Collection System. Initially released in 1984 for mainframes and enhanced for PC's in the early 1990’s, this new third-generation system expands on its predecessors with additional features including full integration with Microsoft Windows, Microsoft SQL, and distributed access via the Internet.

Beyond the comprehensive management of collections, TCS offers you the ability to expand your local network onto the World Wide Web to allow remote access to your information as your requirements mandate. With this feature, you can permit affiliate  locations across town or across the country to securely enter payments, retrieve information, and produce reports, all from a single database. Imagine the possibilities.

The combination of staff and customer experience has resulted in a Total Collection Solution allowing you and your associates to take advantage of the innovations in technology available today. Please take a moment to review samples or  features of TCS to learn more.
