Exceptional in all areas, especially their customer service
I would highly recommend VADAR Systems! They have been our Municipal Financial Software Vendor since 2000. Exceptional in all areas, especially their customer service. With prompt attention and understanding of our needs.
Everything is now seamless from Assessment through Collections to Accounting
In our municipality, we have been using VADAR for Tax Collections, Utility Billing, Assessment Maintenance, and Tax Lien Maintenance for many years. Just this past summer, we also upgraded to Cloud services and added on the Accounting suite. Everything is now seamless from Assessment through Collections to Accounting. With the cloud-based option we have decommissioned one server and can access our data everywhere and have a great cyber-security plan in place. VADAR is extremely price competitive against other options and the team is super knowledgeable and helpful when needed. They are with the clients every step of the way in every conversion and for day-to-day support. I strongly recommend the VADAR team!
Their customer service is unbeatable
As Finance Director, I oversee the Assessing and Treasurer/Collector Departments as well as Accounting. We are VERY pleased with VADAR. Their customer service is unbeatable and their software is made for smaller to mid-size municipalities. The integration between Accounting, Treasurer/Collector and Assessing is a huge plus! It is also user-friendly, which is great since we have decentralized payables (many users). Another plus to VADAR is that it incorporates flexible reports and analytics which makes state reporting and your audit go smoother! There are differences between all the software I have used (including Tyler and Springbrook), but VADAR has been the best overall.
