TOWN CLERK
A fully automated point of sale and cash
book system that provides a simple, efficient method of recording the sale of sporting
licenses, dog licenses, marriage licenses and games of chance licenses, as well as
tracking all other sales and permits that are handled in the Town Clerks office. The
program generates monthly sales reports to state agencies ( Ag & Markets, DEC, etc.),
as well as the Town Clerk Monthly Report and Annual Report. Licenses are priced and
printed as they are sold and all commissions and disbursements are calculated.

PAYROLL
A complete payroll management system that
keeps all payroll, tax and retirement information and fully automates calculating and
printing payroll checks. The employees hours are easily entered under each budget
account that he/she is to be paid from and reports are generated that total all payroll
charges against each budget account. A complete history of wages and taxes, hours worked
and compensated absences is maintained. All State and Federal tax information is stored
and W2's are printed. All State retirement reports are printed from the system.

BUILDING & CODES ENFORCEMENT
This program tracks and issues Building
Permits, Variances, Violation Notices, Appearance Tickets, Subdivision Applications and
other permits (signs, special use, etc.). All properties in the municipality are loaded
from a disk from the tax warrant. With this information, permits are easily generated by
searching for the property owners name or address.
All necessary forms such as certificates
of occupancy, certificates of compliance, correction notices, stop work orders, etc. are
produced with a minimum of keystrokes. A reminder report lists all open permits.

UTILITY
BILLING
An extremely user friendly and complete
utility billing system for water and/or sewer billing. Meter readings are easily and
quickly entered. The operator sees the four previous meter readings and consumption as he
enters the new reading, giving a visual cross-check for accuracy. The program will flag
entries that are too high or to low. There is an account ledger attached to each customer
file tracking all billings and payments. Rate tables have many possibilities for
customizing rates for various applications. Recording of payments is streamlined. Reports
include the trial balance, demographics report, customer list, open accounts, relevy
report, billing summary and mailing labels. Our software can accommodate automatic reading
devices from Sensus or Badger. Electric billing is also available.

TAX
COLLECTION
One of our biggest labor savers! The tax
warrant is loaded from a disk from the County. Payments are recorded by simply entering
the bill number, date and check number, if paid by check. Because the tax collector does not
have to enter dollar amounts, errors are virtually eliminated. Penalties and late fees are
assessed automatically. Late notices are generated with a minimum of keystrokes. Duplicate
receipts, reapportionments, correction of errors and return of unpaids are all
accommodated. Multiple search criteria make finding a taxpayers information quick
and easy. A separate program is designed specifically for School Tax Collection.

HIGHWAY
SUPERINTENDENT
This program tracks vehicle information
such as date purchased, purchase price, model and serial numbers, part numbers for items
such as oil, air and fuel filters, etc. A maintenance log tracks oil changes,
lubrication and all other maintenance items. The fuel and oil log tracks when the vehicle
is refueled, how much fuel is used and computes miles per gallon. Roads, culverts and
signs are tracked and historical data is accumulated. A reminder report tracks calls that
are not closed out.
