All of BBI’s applications are seamlessly integrated but each application can also be used as a stand alone piece. We are aware of the demands that municipalities face on a daily basis. For that reason we offer the following software to help meet that demand:
Budgetary/Accounting
BBI’s Budgetary/Accounting application is the foundation of our powerful Municipal Management System. This application is a true multi-fund product that meets GAAFR and GAAP standards. It is designed specifically for municipalities. Unlike many other systems, our Budgetary/Accounting application comes complete with Accounts Receivables and Accounts Payable. This allows for a simple, seamless integration. This means you get real time data to monitor budget availability and manage other control issues.
Every aspect of a municipalities money may be tracked from the moment a deposit is made, a purchase order issued, an invoice received, or a check is written. In turn, a reconciliation of bank statements may then be performed to account for all money.
Tracking of purchases by vendor allows for generation of 1099 forms as well as online reporting to state and federal governments annually.
A generous option of reports creates ease in providing information for auditing purposes.
Payroll/Human Resources
BBI’s Payroll application was created as an exception system. This means normal earnings and withholdings are preset recurring entries and do not need to be changed 
from pay period to pay period. Only exceptions such as vacation time, sick leave or differences in regular hours worked would need to be adjusted.
The Human Resources function within the module maintains a history of each employee’s pay as well as tax information and relevant deductions pertaining to the individual employee.
All relevant bookkeeping data flows into the Budgetary/Accounting application which eliminates the need for multiple entries.
Here are a few of the items of note the Payroll system provides: 
- Capability of recording notes pertaining to each employee

Property Taxes
The Property Tax module supplies the resources to track and collect taxes that are owed to the municipality. Multiple options are available to provide choices to the user in how much of the process they wish to process in house.
One option provides for handling of data from assessed value through calculation, printing of tax cards, receipting payments and continuing through tax sale.
Another option begins at receipting payments forward through tax sale, allowing the county to calculate, print and mail tax cards.
Also part of this module:
- Tracking delinquent taxes

- Creating all forms necessary to process tax receipts, redemptions, deeds, etc.
- Processing a tax sale and all aspects following
- BBI coordinates with county tax assessors to provide real time data for your city each tax season
Incident Reporting
Incident Reporting provides the municipality with the ability to log every call that needs to be tracked. For instance citizens reporting potholes, fallen limbs, street lights out are just a few of the reasons a citizen may call for something to be addressed. Once the incident is recorded, it may be tracked through until completion. If desired, they may be tracked by ward or district to give the board/council members an accurate representation as to the concerns of their constituents.
Miscellaneous Receipts
Miscellaneous receipts provides a way for every payment coming into the city to be posted as well as printing a paper receipt for each customer. Each day a report is printed in order to balance to money received. Once this report is posted the entries go directly into the Budgetary/Accounting system. This saves you time and eliminates the need for manual receipts.
