Customer Service

The VATS System can track customer service inquiries, complaints and suggestions. These are logged with the specific citation to assist in resolving issues quicker.

Customer’s comments range from common information inquiry, to complaints and suggestions. The VATS System can track these customer service issues to help management identify the types of service issues that are most common.

The comments are tracked all through the citation management process and are used to help the adjudication appeals process. Proper tracking helps management resolve issues before they progress to the appeals process. Citations with careless errors or with wrong information can be immediately dismissed with little customer interaction. Quick, fair dealings with the public can lead to good customer perception.

Appeals

The VATS System’s adjudication and court scheduling module provides the ability to easily schedule hearings (administrative adjudication or formal court hearings); display and modify hearing schedules; and prepare hard copy citation history, supporting complaints and calendar documents.

The Process is simple and fully customizable to meet any specific rules and regulations.

Appeal Request – The citation is then flagged and is sent to pending appeals. 

Citation Review – Customers’ notes as well as any supporting documentation can be reviewed. 

Preliminary Judgement – Send an auto generated response letter via email notifying the customer of the decision. 

Appeal Hearing – If an administrative review is disputed, the VATS System allows the user to schedule and manage a hearing, as well as to generate letters notifying the appellant of the results of a hearing. 

Appeal to Court – The VATS system can be configured to support different schedules for hearing officers and court. 

Reports

The VATS System offers a Dashboard that is unique to each user’s choice of information and layout. It also provides a full statistical and financial reporting package. A large number of reports are easily exported to excel, including:
