One platform

Everything a council runs on, connected

Each module posts to the same general ledger, so reports, budgets and statements always agree.

General ledger & IPSAS

Multi-fund ledger, journals with approval, IPSAS statements on demand.

Budget & votes

Approved budgets by vote, with commitments checked before money is spent.

Revenue & billing

Rates, refuse and sundry billing in USD and ZWG with automatic receipting.

Procurement & stores

Requisition to purchase order to goods received, against the budget.

Payroll & HR

PAYE, NSSA and AIDS levy handled, payslips for every employee.

Assets

A fixed asset register with depreciation that ties to the balance sheet.

In the field

Collections keep going where the network stops

Revenue officers receipt payments and capture meter reads on the CORE app with no signal. Everything queues on the phone and syncs to the ledger when they are back in coverage.

  • Route of accounts and balances available offline
  • Each receipt carries a device ID, so a retry never double-posts
  • Meter reads captured on the same app

A ledger the auditor can follow

Every receipt, invoice and payroll run posts to one IPSAS-aligned general ledger, so the trial balance is always current.

For residents

Paying the council takes about a minute

Residents find their bill with a phone or account number, confirm with an SMS code and pay with mobile money or a card. The receipt arrives by SMS and the payment is already in your ledger.
