Challenge

Since 1978 Caselle has been dedicated to our adage of “Commitment to Community”. We take that commitment seriously in everything we do. Because of the long-term nature of this association between Caselle and our community partners, we strive for an open transparent relationship that continues to grow and strengthen through the years.

The Problem

The City of McPherson needed a government accounting software solution that would streamline their processes and provide their city with better customer support. After engaging in an extensive RFP process, the city chose Caselle.

The Solution

Since transitioning to the new software, they have saved four full workdays each month which has ultimately resulted in significant cost reductions and more efficient employees.

The Client Experience

“Everyone here in the office absolutely loves Caselle… We get support very quickly from Caselle, and they prioritize our needs. If we call to ask a question and they don’t know the answer, they will find someone who does. We definitely couldn’t have chosen a better software company to work with. We have been very happy with them.” Bo Moddelmog, Assistant City Manager

Voted #1 Municipality Software in 2024!
