Payment Management

The Changing Face of Payment Collection and Income Management

Once considered as simply the collection and receipting of cash over the counter, payment collection and income management is now a much broader discipline. The need to offer choice and accessibility of differing payment methods has seen the internet, telephone and mobile computing become the technologies of choice for the collection of revenue. Capita Software Services understands that organisations now need to offer a wider range of payment services whilst ensuring that payments processed are posted to other back-office systems in an accurate and timely manner.

The current eGovernment agenda is also putting pressure onto local authorities to modernise their payment facilities. The ODPM Priority Services and Transformation Outcomes, specifically R10, R11, G10 and G11, directly indicate areas where forms of electronic payment should be used to add efficiency and effectiveness to services.

In order to achieve this, Capita Software Services has developed a product portfolio. This consists of a suite of feature rich payment applications revolving around a highly parameterised core income management system. This cohesive yet modular approach provides a flexible and scaleable solution that allows you to choose the most appropriate payment modules to best fit your revenues collection strategy.

From the traditional cash office to web enabled systems, Payment Management can help you collect revenue 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
