In local government, complexity is often the enemy of efficiency.
City administrators and tax commissioners across Georgia and beyond are realizing that managing multiple vendors for billing, payments, communications, archiving, and citizen engagement is more than just a logistical headache, it’s a drain on staff time, citizen trust, and public dollars.
That’s where Alchem-e Pay comes in. It’s not just a payment processor. It’s a full-stack, all-in-one communications and payment platform built for modern government operation, simplifying life for clerks and enhancing service for citizens.
The Hidden Costs of Fragmentation
Many counties and cities still rely on a patchwork of vendors:
- One system for print/mail
- Another for online payments
- A third for citizen communication
- And let’s not forget separate tools for archiving and reconciliation
This siloed setup doesn’t just lead to inefficiencies; it creates real risks:
✅ Increased errors from manual entry
✅ Clerks juggling multiple portals, interfaces, and passwords
✅ Frustrated citizens getting inconsistent messages or duplicate bills
✅ Slower reconciliation and compliance tracking
✅ No single source of truth for activity history
According to Aspire CCS, 42% of public sector respondents are actively modernizing back-office functions to improve the customer experience. Why? Because disjointed tools and processes slow everyone down and open the door to mistakes.
Consolidation Isn’t Just Easier, It’s Smarter
Alchem-e Pay replaces up to 6 different vendors with one unified platform that handles it all:
- Secure payment processing (online, offline, kiosk, mobile)
- Print and digital billing and notifications
- Archiving and document search with audit trails
- Automated reconciliation and financial reporting
- Clerk dashboards for walk-ins and in-office processing
- A user-friendly citizen portal that’s branded to your city or county
And all of it integrates seamlessly with DRIVES and your existing tax or accounting systems, no heavy IT lift required.
