Customer Requests

EDEN Customer Requests helps agencies implement standardized procedures for handling internal or external requests. Customer Requests electronically tracks the requests from inception to completion using user-defined workflows and automated notification features.

Licensing

EDEN Licensing tracks and supports the process for individual and business licenses.

Parcel Manager

EDEN Parcel Manager maintains a comprehensive database of property information that serves as the foundation for all EDEN Citizen Services applications. Parcel Manager tracks parcel and property attributes, and stores information on buildings and businesses. Parcel Manager centralizes your agency’s address maintenance and integrates desktop mapping directly within the interface of the application. Also, Parcel Manager centralizes parcel data for use by multiple modules. Files such as deeds, easements and photographs can be scanned and stored electronically to link to associated parcel records. Parcel Manager also has an optional Web component that allows citizens to view parcel maps and other data through a browser.
