The Payble team discusses with the Greater Dandenong Council their transition from manual to digital payment methods.

Greater Dandenong achieved an 85% success rate in managing arrears with digital payment plans, significantly higher than the typical 50-60% success rate with manual processes.

Councils can save approximately 100 hours per month by transitioning from manual to digital payment plan management, freeing up staff for more value-added activities.
