City of Nevada, MO Joins the SSI Family!

Featured Image

We’re excited to welcome the City of Nevada, MO to the SSI family! Located in southwest Missouri, Nevada is a close-knit community with a rich history. 

The city recently purchased VIP Accounting, VIP Payroll, VIP Employee Portal, VIP Utility Billing, and VIP Budgeting & Analytics to replace older systems that no longer met their needs.

With many processes becoming too manual and disconnected, Nevada’s leaders knew it was time to modernize.

Challenges They Faced

Nevada’s team was ready to address several challenges:

  • Customer Support & Responsiveness: They needed a partner that could provide reliable support and quicker response times.

  • Transparency & Real-Time Access: Department heads lacked real-time budget visibility, making it harder to monitor spending and improve transparency.

  • Streamlined Purchasing & Approvals: Department-level purchasing was limited and inefficient, creating bottlenecks and unnecessary paperwork.

  • Manual & Paper-Heavy Processes: Core functions like payroll and bank reconciliations were still manual, slowing operations and raising the risk of errors.

  • Utility Billing Limitations: Their old system lacked flexibility, including the ability to write off invoices efficiently.

  • Grant & Project Tracking: The city needed better visibility into funds spent versus funds expected.

  • Budgeting Inefficiencies: Budget entry was centralized and time-consuming. Department heads wanted the ability to enter budgets directly.

  • Leave Accrual Tracking: Accruals were tracked at the department level, creating inconsistencies and making reporting more difficult.

Why They Chose SSI

Nevada wanted a partner that understands the public sector and provides modern, integrated solutions. Here’s how VIP will make a difference:

  • Real-Time Visibility: Department heads can now monitor budgets and spending instantly.

  • Integrated Purchasing & Approvals: Requisitions and POs move digitally with electronic approvals—reducing paperwork and bottlenecks.

  • Modern Payroll Tools: Leave accruals, deductions, and reporting are all tracked centrally and automatically.

  • Employee Self-Service: Staff can log in anytime to see pay stubs, update personal info, or request time off—no more calls to HR.

  • Utility Billing Flexibility: Nevada can now manage billing with more options, including writing off invoices quickly and easily.

  • Grant & Project Tracking: Improved tools give clear visibility into project and grant funds.

  • Collaborative Budgeting: Department heads can enter budgets directly, improving ownership and accuracy.

  • Seamless Integration: With accounting, payroll, utilities, and analytics connected, Nevada now has a unified system for better decision-making.

Looking Ahead

Nevada is preparing to launch their VIP Suite, and we’re proud to be part of their modernization journey. By reducing manual work and improving transparency, the city is setting the stage for more efficiency across every department.

With modern tools in place, Nevada’s leaders and staff can focus less on chasing paperwork and more on serving their community.
