Number of Seats/Users: Code Enforcement offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Code Enforcement that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Code Enforcement. Code Enforcement reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Code Enforcement offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Code Enforcement. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Code Enforcement often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase, our internal data shows that Code Enforcement has been making an impact across a wide variety of agencies, both large and small. Our clients appreciate the way this tool streamlines case management and simplifies tracking, especially when used in the field. Here’s a rundown of the main themes we’ve noticed from client feedback.

Strengths consistently highlighted by Spendbase clients:

– Ease of use: Many clients share that the user interface is simple to navigate, making it easy even for new users to get started quickly.
– Mobile capabilities: The ability to conduct inspections, upload photos, and access data on the go is saving teams both time and hassle.
– Automation: The automation of reports, lien filing, and notifications reduces manual work and keeps everyone on track.
– Record tracking: The platform does a great job tracking open cases, outstanding tasks, and historic activities.
– Integration: Some clients mention seamless integration with other city or county systems, smoothing out information sharing across departments.

Areas where Spendbase clients see room for improvement:

– Click fatigue: A common theme is the desire to reduce the number of mouse clicks needed to complete a process or workflow. Clients often mention this as the biggest drag on productivity.
– User training: A few clients mention lacking clear user manuals or training resources, leading to a longer onboarding process for new staff.
– Customization limitations: There’s a preference for more options to customize forms and reports to better reflect local procedures and information.
– Slow uploads: Several clients cite occasional slow upload speeds, especially when attaching photos during a case.
– Managing multiple violations: Clients working on properties with several violations wish for the ability to consolidate these into a single case and notification, instead of creating multiples.
– Address handling: There are a few frustrations about difficulties locating or adding new addresses, leading to wasted time.
– Report flexibility: More robust options to filter, group, and display activity on open and ongoing cases (not just closed cases) are repeatedly requested.
