Cities are often forced to pay fees set by the state because of failure to follow state guidelines. New businesses must be registered with the state and existing businesses must have yearly inspections completed. The appropriate paperwork must be filed in a timely manner. Cities that do not abide by state regulations are fined by the state.
Avoiding these penalties is the most clear-cut means a municipality will save money.
TechOn FPS categorizes all businesses that are due for inspection. Missing an inspection due to poor file keeping is no longer an issue. All proper paperwork associated with an inspection is automatically generated and presented for completion.
A large problem facing municipalities today is a proficient billing system. Every year cities lose thousands of dollars in missed account receivables. Many billing systems used today are simple ledger programs or manually recorded on paper. These types of systems are prone to data loss, incorrect data input due to poor organization and are not suitable or unique to the needs of city inspectors and their back offices. FPS allows the bookkeeper to easily find business names and their payment history. When a payment is made a receipt is generated and that record is stored in the account database.
If an account is delinquent it is automatically placed on the late payment list, a late fee is issued, a bill is generated and a record is stored in the account history. This course of action continues until the account is paid up to date.
TechOn FPS creates a fail-safe approach to proficient file keeping.
