Higher Customer Satisfaction

SPringbrook OR SMART360?

Signs SMART360 is the right fit for your utility

You are a utility, not a whole local government

You run water, electric, or gas service for roughly 3,000 to 100,000 connections, and your priority is the meter-to-cash lifecycle rather than city-wide finance, payroll, and permitting. A platform built around that lifecycle fits closer than a municipal suite where utility billing is one module among many.

Feature illustration

Your rates and services change often

Tiered, seasonal, and time-of-use rates, new customer classes, and added services are part of normal operation. On a utility platform these are configuration, so a rate change is a short admin task rather than a project you wait for and pay a vendor to deliver.

Feature illustration

A small team wears several hats

One person often covers billing, customer service, and reporting at the same time. Keeping meter reads, billing exceptions, service orders, and field work in a single system means less time switching between tools and reconciling data by hand, which is exactly where a lean team loses its day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SMART360 or Springbrook better for a utility?

down arrow
It depends on the buyer. Springbrook is a municipal ERP where utility billing is one module, which suits a local government wanting one system for finance, payroll, and administration. SMART360 is purpose-built for water, electric, and gas utilities, with meter data, utility billing, and field operations at its core, which suits a utility whose primary need is running those operations well

We are a small municipal utility with a lean team. Which fits?

down arrow
SMART360 is built to keep billing, metering, and field work in one place, which matters most when one person covers several roles. Springbrook fits when you are buying for the whole local government, not just the utility.

Does Springbrook publish its pricing?

down arrow
No. As of August 2026, Springbrook does not publish pricing publicly and quotes per module and scope, in line with most municipal ERP vendors. SMART360 publishes per-connection pricing, so a utility can estimate its cost from its meter count before a sales conversation.

We are running an RFP. How should we compare them?

down arrow
Compare them on your utility-specific requirements, meter data, rate complexity, billing exceptions, and field work, and on total cost over the contract term, using published pricing where it exists. Weigh the breadth of municipal modules only to the extent you actually need them.

How long does implementation take?

down arrow
Full production go-live in 20–24 weeks. Structured onboarding with phased rollout. Staff trained before switchover.

Is SMART360 secure and compliant?

down arrow
SOC 2 certified. NIST 800-53 compliant. Hosted on AWS with 99.9% uptime SLA. Role-based access control, encryption at rest and in transit, and regular third-party security audits.
