North Reading Saves Big with a Little Ingenuity
June 29, 2009
A simple concept, when well-executed, can prove as valuable as the next Big Idea. That’s what the Town of North Reading discovered while working with Point Software to save on their tax billing expenses.
Like many municipalities throughout Massachusetts, North Reading has been looking for ways to trim costs amidst continuing budget cuts. Maryann MacKay, the town’s tax collector / treasurer, recently came up with the idea of combining the trash bills that Point Software designed for them with the real estate bills. Point’s developers went to work and, with a little of their own innovation, succeeded in condensing the trash and real estate bills into a single form. As a result, North Reading enjoyed significant savings in postage, toner, forms and production.
Other cities and towns issuing trash bills can reap similar benefits by employing the Point solution. As always, Point aims to help municipalities reach their goals.
