PAYMENT FOR taxes and permit applications can now be done cashless in Cauayan City, Isabela — the first step towards its transformation into a Smart city in partnership with Multisys Technologies Corp. In a statement, software engineering solutions firm Multisys said Cauayan is the first to use their Smart City application, which will also be tapped for other cashless transactions in city hall, for small enterprises, and RFID (radio frequency identification) cards for residents. “The Smart City project is an ambitious yet feasible plan that we would like to pursue and materialize. Not only will it make people’s lives easier but will also help promote user-friendly government payment transactions. At the same time, it empowers micro-business owners by taking an easier yet efficient way of running their businesses,” said MultiSys Chief Executive Officer David Almirol Jr. Kiosk machines will be installed at the city hall, other government officers, cooperatives, and private establishments with high foot traffic. Micro and small businesses, meanwhile, can have their own Mobile Point of Sale Devices or the MPOS machines. “We start turning cities into ‘Smart Cities’ one city at a time… We want to make life easier, empower the people and promote hassle free payment transactions to save time while being cost efficient. We are positive that Cauayan City won’t be the only ‘Smart City’ in the country as we aim to provide the same services nationwide,” Mr. Almirol said.
