Our organization uses and promotes the use of Frey Municipal Software and its CUBIC service package for municipal and utility billing. It is a comprehensive billing solution created for municipal use. The platform is very easy to use and enhances our organizational capabilities when it comes to customer (resident) management.
  • Utility Billing.
  • Invoicing
  • Customer Management.
  • Training and Technical Support.
  • Automation/ Time Management.
If you are a municipality/municipal authority this is a great solution for billing your residents/customers. This software was developed specifically for the Public Sector. For our organization, the integration of this software solution was pretty seamless. The offerings provided by Frey Municipal Software (CUBIC) are likely best suited for a larger municipality (2,500 pop. and above). You will need appropriately trained staff to implement and use it.
  • Comprehensive Billing Solution.
  • Customer Management.
  • Training offered by the vendor (in-person and web based).
  • Customer Service.
  • Time Management (very efficient solution for utility/municipal billing).
  • Frey's customer service and training offerings keep our staff sharp.
  • Customer capture and annual revenues have increased year over year since Frey's adoption.
We evaluated software solutions such as MuniBilling and Utility Billing but were impressed with the comprehensive billing solution and customer service offered by Frey through its CUBIC package.
