LAS HERAS

What LAS HERAS does

Municipalidad de Las Heras is the municipal government of the Las Heras department in Mendoza Province, Argentina, headed by Intendente Francisco Lo Presti. The entity provides statutory local government services to residents across the department, including urban areas of Las Heras city as well as Uspallata, El Challao, and the Alta Montaña region. Core functions span public safety (Guardia Urbana Municipal), traffic court (Juzgado Vial), civil registry, licensing, tax collection (Rentas), social development, public works, culture, education, and economic development.

The municipality has built a digital service delivery portfolio comprising eight platforms: the SAC (Sistema de Alerta Comunitaria) mobile app connecting 9,900+ users across 240 neighborhoods to municipal emergency response and the provincial 911 system; the Portal del Vecino citizen services hub; the Juzgado Vial online traffic court; the Portal del Empleado internal employee portal; the Portal de Proveedores vendor management system; the Rentas Digital tax payment platform; the Talleres Culturales workshop registration system; and the Premios General Las Heras awards program. The underlying technology is built on Oracle APEX-based web applications with mobile apps distributed via Google Play and Apple App Store.

The entity's economic model is government-based rather than commercial: it collects municipal taxes and fees (including traffic fines denominated in Unidades Tributarias valued at $160 ARS for May 2026, with a 40% discount for voluntary early payment), receives provincial and federal transfers, and intermediates financing access for local businesses through partnerships with Banco Nación, Banco Ciudad, Banco Supervielle, Banco Santander, the Consejo Federal de Inversiones, and mutual guarantee societies (Garantizar SGR, Cuyo Aval SGR). Over 580 million pesos in productive credit lines have been facilitated through these channels. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Customer segments include residents, local entrepreneurs and SMEs, and tourists visiting natural attractions; the municipality serves a diversified base without commercial concentration risk.
