NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aumentum Technologies and InvoiceCloud, an EngageSmart (NYSE: ESMT) solution for online bill payment services, today announced a new integrated solution to enhance the tax payment experience and streamline county tax offices’ internal efficiencies. Since April 2022, Aumentum Technologies and InvoiceCloud have collaborated to architect numerous streamlined solutions to provide tax organizations with a robust payments and customer communications experience, including customizable payment reminders and reporting capabilities.
“InvoiceCloud’s market-leading solution and seamless integration capabilities made it an easy decision to work together to provide tax organizations with best-in-class, robust payment solutions,” said Aumentum Technologies Executive Vice President, Andrew Wright. “Together, we remain dedicated to helping our customers save both time and money with our streamlined, joint offering.”
Built on true-SaaS technology, InvoiceCloud’s solutions are cloud-native, meaning county tax offices have the latest features in electronic bill presentment and payment processing, all without costly customizations or upgrades. The solution drives digital payment adoption, discourages taxpayer delinquencies, and reduces customer service calls by an average of 39% with modern payment options and an intuitive design (based on a limited subset of customers that went live from 2015-2021 and tracked/provided payment-related call data in their first 12 months on their previous platform and the InvoiceCloud solution, respectively). Convenient digital options such as PayPal, Venmo, and Pay by Text (in addition to traditional payment methods) have also yielded immediate benefits to treasurers’ offices—for example, one joint customer reported 75% Pay by Text adoption in their first payment collection cycle with the integrated solution.
“The expansion of InvoiceCloud’s relationship with Aumentum Technologies is a testament to the value our integrated solution is driving, not just to county treasurers and tax collectors, but to taxpayers as well,” said InvoiceCloud Vice President, Alliances and Business Development, Paul Applegate. “Aumentum Technologies shares our customer-first approach, and we look forward to continuing to work together to provide county governments with a more streamlined, modern, and frictionless billing and payments experience that drives digital engagement and lowers cost.”
