Truckee Meadows Water Authority Stabilizes Rates for Customers by Driving Operational Efficiencies with InvoiceCloud

Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA), a not-for-profit, community-owned water utility, announced the results of implementing InvoiceCloud, an EngageSmart (NYSE: ESMT) solution for online bill payment services. TMWA achieved $175,000 in annual operational efficiencies by driving e-adoption, enabling the utility to offset rising costs and stabilize rates for customers.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20221214005210/en/

TMWA has approximately 250 employees and serves over 135,000 customer accounts spanning a service area of 170 square miles. Prior to implementing InvoiceCloud’s digital engagement and payment solution, TMWA was using multiple payment vendors and systems that did not communicate with each other. Customers were frustrated with the lack of payment options and difficult user experience. To remove friction in the payment process and streamline all payment channels under one solution, TMWA adopted InvoiceCloud’s true SaaS billing, payment, and customer engagement solution.

Working together with its customers, TMWA drove digital self-service through a 22% increase in AutoPay adoption and a 20% decrease in mailed in payments in its first year with InvoiceCloud, as well as a 3x increase in paperless enrollment in the past year (measured Oct. 2021 through Oct. 2022). With the significant decrease in operational expenses, optimization of staff workload, and increase in overall savings, TMWA was able to apply the resources saved towards stabilizing rates for customers, even amid an industry-wide rise in rates. InvoiceCloud’s digitized billing and payments process saves employees and customers time and money by helping to reduce paper costs and late payments. With increased self-service options, customers are able to make payments and self-manage their utility account in the ways most convenient to them. This, in turn, frees-up 25 hours of TMWA staff time per month that can now be used on high-impact community projects.

With InvoiceCloud, TMWA customers have expanded access to a variety of payment methods including online billing, AutoPay, pay by mail, pay by phone, and more.

“The user experience with InvoiceCloud is night and day compared to our previous systems, and our staff has gained valuable time back in the day to focus on other operational tasks,” said Marci Westlake, Customer Service Manager at Truckee Meadows Water Authority. “Keeping customers happy is TMWA’s number one priority, and InvoiceCloud helps make that happen.”
