Point of Sale
Point of Sale handles front-counter payments for taxes, utilities, permits and more. Every transaction posts to TownSuite Financial in real time, so the books reflect the counter as it happens rather than at the end of the day.
What it does
- Front-counter payments for taxes, utilities and permits
- A single counter for multiple payment types
- Transactions posted to Financial in real time
- No end-of-day re-keying or reconciliation gaps
Works with
Point of Sale connects to Financial, eBills & ePayments and Recreation.
Key capabilities
- One counter that takes payments for property tax, utilities, permits, licences, recreation fees and miscellaneous charges
- Lookup of the resident's live account balance so staff collect against the right account
- Multiple tender types — cash, cheque and card — in a single transaction
- Receipts issued at the counter, with each transaction posted to Financial in real time
- Cash drawer and end-of-day balancing supported by an audit trail of every transaction
- A consistent counter workflow across departments and service desks
How it connects
Point of Sale reads and writes the same accounts as Financial and eBills & ePayments, so a payment taken at the counter applies to the resident's real balance and posts to the ledger immediately. Recreation fees and permit charges can be collected through the same counter, which means a resident can pay several different bills in one visit and the books reflect all of them without an end-of-day re-key.
Built for Canadian municipalities
The counter handles the mix of tax, utility and fee payments Canadian municipalities collect, and supports the cash-handling controls and receipting that public-funds accountability requires. Like the rest of mERP®, it is built, supported and hosted under Canadian jurisdiction, keeping payment records sovereign.
The front counter and the general ledger stay in step — under one Canadian roof.
