NEMRC

What NEMRC does

NEMRC (The New England Municipal Resource Center's, Ltd.) is a privately held Vermont-based software vendor founded in 1977 that provides integrated fund accounting, tax billing, property assessment, and town clerk software to small municipalities, school districts, and non-profit organizations, primarily across the New England and Northeast United States. The core platform is built on Visual FoxPro data structures using an open-design architecture developed in the 1980s–1990s that allows user-customizable reports and module expansion; the Fund Reporting System integrates with SBT's Database Accounting Software Library. NEMRC offers roughly 20 modules organized around a central General Ledger, including Accounts Payable, Payroll, Utility Billing, Tax Administration, Grand List, Human Resources, Voter Registration, Animal Licensing, Land Records, Cemetery, Marriage/Civil Union, and Planning/Zoning, plus the MicroSolve CAMA suite for property mass appraisal.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time perpetual software licenses (ranging from $300 for simple modules to $2,995 for comprehensive suites like Utility Billing and Human Resources), recurring cloud-services subscriptions on AWS, annual Disaster Recovery Agreements, and usage-based Document Delivery Service fees ($0.05 per paperless item). Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: a toll-free line (1-800-387-1110), remote screen sharing, on-site one-on-one training at client offices, skill development classes ranging from single-day to 10-week courses, and an annual MSOL CAMA seminar series. NEMRC serves hundreds of municipal clients spanning Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Washington, California, Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nebraska, including the State of Vermont, State of Maine, City of Burlington, City of Montpelier, and City of Rutland. The company is privately held under President Ernie Saunders with no disclosed institutional investment.

Direct peers

• Springbrook Software: Cloud-first ERP platform purpose-built for small-to-mid local governments, including utility billing, finance, payroll, and citizen engagement. Competes with NEMRC in the same municipal vertical, differentiated by a modern SaaS architecture rather than FoxPro.
• BS&A Software: Michigan-based provider of municipal accounting, payroll, and CAMA software used by hundreds of townships, cities, and counties. Direct competitor in the small-municipality fund accounting and property assessment niche with a similar customer profile to NEMRC.
• Caselle Software: Municipal software vendor offering fund accounting, utility billing, payroll, and CAMA for cities, towns, and special districts in the Western US. Closest functional peer to NEMRC in product scope and target customer (small-to-mid municipalities), with a comparable module-based licensing approach.
• Incode by Tyler Technologies: Tyler's mid-market government ERP suite covering financials, HR, payroll, utility billing, and community development. Represents the modern cloud-native competitive threat to NEMRC's FoxPro-based stack in mid-sized municipalities.
• Edmunds GovTech: Provider of financial management and property assessment software for counties, municipalities, and school districts. Direct overlap with NEMRC's fund accounting and CAMA offerings, particularly in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.

Emerging players

• CivicPlus: Government technology vendor offering civic engagement, ERP, and workflow solutions to municipalities. Adjacent peer serving overlapping buyers (city/town clerks, finance departments) but with a more modern, integrated SaaS bundle.

Broad incumbents

• Tyler Technologies: Largest US provider of vertical software for state and local government, including fund accounting, CAMA, utility billing, and court/clerk solutions. Direct overlap with NEMRC's municipal ERP and property appraisal modules, but Tyler serves much larger jurisdictions and competes primarily on enterprise-scale deployments.
• Harris Computer (Governance, ERP & Utility): Vertical software conglomerate (now Constellation Software) with multiple municipal ERP and utility billing brands. Competes indirectly with NEMRC in fund accounting and utility billing for small municipalities through acquired product lines.

Others

• CoreLogic: Property data and analytics provider with which NEMRC's Tax Administration module integrates for escrow data exchange. Functions as a data/technology partner rather than a direct competitor, though CoreLogic's broader assessment-adjacent products touch the same municipal buyers.
• Vermont Property Income Tax (VTPIE): State-level system with which NEMRC's Grand List module integrates for property income tax data exchange. Listed as an integration partner rather than a competitor; relevant as an ecosystem dependency for NEMRC's property assessment workflow.
