For councils

Stop stitching systems together

Many councils run billing in one system, the ledger in another and payroll in a third, with spreadsheets in between. CORE replaces the patchwork with one platform built for Zimbabwean local government.

Why switch

What changes when you move to CORE

The patchwork

  • Billing, ledger and payroll in separate systems
  • Mobile money receipts captured by hand
  • Month-end reconciled in spreadsheets
  • Field collections on paper receipt books
  • Residents queue at the civic centre to pay
  • Reports built manually for every committee

With CORE

  • One ledger that every module posts to
  • Payments receipted automatically from 9 channels
  • Trial balance current every day
  • Offline field app with safe sync
  • Residents pay from their phone in about a minute
  • IPSAS statements and reports on demand, PDF and Excel

Levers

Where collection uplift comes from

We do not promise a percentage. These are the levers CORE gives your revenue team.

Easier to pay

Nine channels and no login means fewer reasons not to pay today.

Timely reminders

Statements and alerts reach residents in the app, with SMS where enabled.

Collections in every ward

Offline field collection reaches areas without coverage.

Arrears you can see

Debtor age analysis shows which accounts to chase first.

Fewer leaks

Every receipt is numbered, audited and tied to a cashier or officer.

Clearance on demand

Property transfers trigger settlement of old balances.

Accountability

Transparency your residents and auditors can see

Every posting carries who did it and when. Approvals follow maker–checker rules, and committee reports come straight from the ledger.

  • Full audit trail on every record
  • Role-based permissions per module
  • Ready to support service-delivery reporting such as MSDS and CESP
  • Data handled in line with the Cyber and Data Protection Act
