While an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system manages broad business operations like accounting and HR, a Customer Information System (CIS) is purpose-built for utility operations. A CIS handles the complete meter-to-cash process, utility billing, and customer portals. SMART360 acts as an all-in-one platform that seamlessly bridges specialized CIS functions with your broader utility management needs.

When evaluating a utility CIS replacement, the leading legacy vendors often include Tyler Technologies, NISC, CentralSquare, VertexOne, and Cayenta. Bynry's SMART360 serves as a modern, cloud-native alternative to these systems, consolidating billing, CRM, and asset management into a single platform without the hidden licensing fees of legacy software.
