The Challenge

Small water systems deserve better tools

You're serving your community with a skeleton crew and a shoestring budget. The software options out there are either too expensive, too complex, or decades out of date.

Software costs too much

Legacy billing systems charge thousands per year in licensing fees. Small water systems can't justify the budget, so they stick with spreadsheets or paper.

Too much time on manual work

Manual meter reads, hand-calculated bills, and processing checks one by one. Your staff spends hours on tasks that modern software handles in minutes.

Customers expect more

Ratepayers want to view their bill, check usage, and pay online. Without a customer portal, you're fielding calls and processing walk-ins that could be self-service.

How It Works

Up and running in days, not months

We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters — serving your community.

1

We set you up for free

We migrate your customer data, configure your rate schedules, and get your system live. No IT staff needed on your end.

2

You run your system

Manage accounts, import meter reads, generate bills, and process payments — all from one modern, easy-to-use dashboard.

3

Customers pay online

Your customers get a self-service portal to view bills and pay online. A small $1.00 convenience fee on online payments is how we keep the platform free for you.

Everything You Need

A complete platform, not just a billing tool

From customer accounts to collections, meter management to online payments — it's all here, built for how small water systems actually work.

Customer Account Management

Full customer records with move-in/out workflows, service addresses, linked accounts, notes, flags, and complete audit trails.

Meter Management

Full meter lifecycle — installation, reads (manual, file import, or AMI/AMR), replacement, retirement. Usage trend charts and exception handling built in.

Flexible Rate Configuration

Tiered, flat, minimum-plus-usage, seasonal, and sewer rates. Surcharges, effective dating, multi-service mapping. Preview any rate before it goes live.

Automated Billing

Run batch billing in minutes, not hours. Preview draft bills, handle exceptions, approve, and generate — with full ledger tracking and GL export.

Payment Processing

Online payments (credit, debit, ACH), walk-in cashiering, auto-pay enrollment, refunds, NSF handling, and daily reconciliation. Powered by Stripe.

Collections & Delinquency

Configurable delinquency rules, automated late fees, shutoff notices, payment plans, and a clear timeline so nothing falls through the cracks.
