Managing allotments with QuickFile

I’m wondering about the feasibility of managing a group of 160 allotments for a local council. QuickFile seems to have some useful integrations that would help.

The 160 allotments have only 2 different rents - full plot or half plot. We need to be able to bulk invoice the allotment holders according to the type of allotment. It would minimise the admin overhead if we could have the majority of allotment holders on direct debits. The alternative could be payment by Stripe. We could use a dedicated bank account and a bank feed to Quickfile. There might be a small residue of tenants who need to pay by cash or cheque.

Has anyone put together a system at all like this? What would be required to achieve it and what would be the cost to assemble such a system? Any feedback appreciated!

Hello @counterpoint

It sounds like the below scenario would work for you. Note the article relates to letting agents but it would be a similar process.

Re direct debits, you could use something like GoCardless to managed the direct debits from the recurring invoices on the client accounts.
