E-Gov Citizen Portal
The Catalis E-Gov Citizen Portal enhances ERP systems by providing residents with real-time, online access to municipal financial services—including utility bills, taxes, licensing, and accounts—featuring automated payment processing, detailed document access, robust search functions, third-party payment integration, and 24/7 self-service capabilities, available for both on-premises and cloud ERP users.
Extended ERP Functionality Providing Online, Real-Time Capability to Residents
The Catalis E-Gov module extends ERP functionality by providing online, real-time capability to residents. It is available for both on-premises and ERP Cloud users.
Ratepayers can auto-enroll online to access any or all E-Gov sub ledger interface modules based on utility bill or tax notice client-specific information. E-Gov can display Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Utility, Taxes, Cemetery, Business Licensing, and Animal Licensing.
Municipalities determine what end users can pay for. Citizens can drill down to utility bill, tax notice, accounts receivable, and accounts payable cheque stubs.
Lawyers can order Tax Certificates and get basic information after entering payment type (credit card or invoice) through the Accounts Receivable module.
Key Features and Benefits of Catalis E-Gov Include:
- Access to Documents: Residents can drill down to view duplicate copies of cash receipts, utility bills, tax notices, and A/P cheques.
- Automated Cash Receipt Batches: Automated cash receipt batches can be generated from any E-Gov payment processing.
- Robust Online Search Capabilities: Residents have access to a wide array of online search capabilities (e.g., assessment searches, tax certificates, etc.).
- Integration with Third-Party Payment Providers: When linked to the third-party payment interface, E-Gov allows subscribed residents to optionally make online credit card payments on any or all their accounts as set up by the municipality.
- Self Service: 24/7 access to accounts. Members of the public can access and renew business and animal licenses at their convenience. They can also view property information and details.
