Payment Barcodes to lower cash collection costs
XLPrint’s PARIS software is used by Mansfield District Council to enhance payment related documents. The PARIS software is used to easily re-format the payment documents to include a barcode. The resident can take the payment document to any local PayPoint retailer, where the barcode can be easily read, ensuring the payment is accurately and quickly electronically directed to the correct Council account.
The PARIS software works seamlessly with the existing Council’s applications, without any modification to them. In this example PARIS captures the base data from the following applications prior to generating the finished payment document:
• Northgate, Revenue and Benefit software
• Ash Software Systems, Sundry debtors software
• The Council’s in-house developed housing rent application

Barcodes are applied to questionnaires to simplify their identification when completed and returned to the council.

Migrate OCE FOL documents
XLPrint's consultants worked with the council staff to replace an existing forms composition tool and migrate the forms from OCE Forms Overlay Language (FOL) to the more flexible and open PARIS software. This move enabled Aberdeenshire Council to break its dependency on a single print device manufacturer.
