The Challenge

Emerging from bankruptcy, the City of Detroit needed to automate operations and do more with less. Refund processing was a significant, recurring cost center — the City estimated it could save up to $750,000 per year in refund processing costs alone if escrow and mass payments were brought under control.

The Solution

Detroit adopted EscrowCloud as a strategic automation solution and mandated it across 157 payer groups in its network. By preventing erroneous and duplicate escrow/mass payments before they occurred, the City eliminated the refunds — and the labor — at the source.
