Client Overview

Kenton County is the third largest County in Kentucky. Businesses located or operating within the county pay their quarterly and annual taxes to the county, which then distributes the correct apportionments to the cities.

Challenge

Most payroll companies file on behalf of dozens if not hundreds of businesses. Going through the entire filing process for each individual client was a hassle, causing companies to resort to paper filings — which was time consuming and expensive for the county to process.

Solution

We built a web application specifically for payroll companies. The system allows upload of XML files containing filing data for all clients, uses Azure Functions to fan out processing of large files (up to several GBs), turning hours of execution into minutes.

“Working with Seven Hills is less like a vendor relationship, and more like bringing new people on to our own team, who make it a point to understand our true mission and purpose, and don't mind getting deep in the weeds with us. They involve us in every step of their development process, and communicate so well that we always have a clear understanding of where there are challenges - before they become problems.”
