What QScend Technologies, Inc. does

QScend Technologies, Inc. operates under the Catalis brand (Catalis, LP), providing a cloud-based government technology platform to municipal governments across the United States and Canada. The firm, founded in 1998 (QScend legacy) and rebranded under Catalis in 2023, is headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, with a Canadian regional office in Edmonton, Alberta. Its product portfolio is organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture covering six primary surfaces: Payments Suite (unified court, utility, tax, and child support processing via Catalis Checkout), Tax & CAMA (property tax billing, collections, escrow, GIS sketching, and Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal), Courts & Land Records (case management, jury management, online dispute resolution, e-filing), Citizen Engagement (website management, mass notification, meeting management, Request311, economic development dashboard, permitting and licensing, data visualization), Public Works CMMS (work orders, inventory, asset management), and Regulatory & Compliance (529/529A plan administration, unemployment insurance). The Canadian market is addressed via the Municipal Hub ERP cloud platform.

The underlying technology is a multi-tenant cloud platform with supporting WordPress/CMS components for citizen-facing websites, Calendly integration for scheduling, and Salesforce/Pardot for marketing automation. The firm sells via an enterprise field-sales motion targeting local government administrators, public works departments, and courts through consultative selling ('Request A Consult Now') and quote-based annual or multi-year subscription contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, which is typical for enterprise government procurement. All disclosed customers fall within the local government vertical; no named enterprise logos or ARR figures are available in the source data. Headcount is stated as 11-50, though this likely reflects the QScend/Catalis core entity rather than any consolidated Catalis LP roll-up. The company claims 100+ years of combined municipal talent credentials and reports '0M+' citizen requests processed through its CRM, though specific customer counts and revenue are not disclosed.
