The AI Revenue Operating System for Cities, Government & Utilities.

SimONE is purpose-built for the public sector — powering revenue recovery for cities, municipalities, and utilities worldwide. Powered by the Financial Vulnerability Risk Scoring Index (FVRSI), it finds the optimal path to payment while genuinely assisting the people behind every account. Also deployed for retail lenders and property rates & tax collection.

The engine behind every decision

The Financial Vulnerability Risk Scoring Index (FVRSI) classifies every account on a 10-point scale — from a simple transaction failure to structural destitution — so SimONE always knows the right way to engage. Click any score below to see how it's defined.

Why people miss payments

Transaction failure

Lost card, locked app, date misalignment. The person has the money — the payment just didn't go through. Highest recovery rate of any category.

🔥

Life emergency

Job loss, retrenchment, health crisis, housing disruption. Severity varies enormously — a broken leg differs from cancer or permanent incapacitation.

⚖️

Over-indebtedness

Structural misalignment between income and obligations. The person is employed, but spending consistently exceeds income. Needs formal debt counselling.

Why the FVRSI matters

A single score that tells you not just whether someone is behind — but why, and what to do about it.

Diagnoses the real reason

Every account is different. FVRSI identifies whether you're dealing with a lost bank card, a job loss, over-indebtedness, or genuine destitution — before you ever make contact.

Matches the response to the person

From a single courtesy nudge to a compassionate hold, FVRSI routes every case to the intervention that actually fits — not a one-size-fits-all collections script.

Protects genuinely vulnerable consumers

Structural destitution and severe emergencies are flagged for welfare referral, not collections pressure — keeping recovery efforts focused where they belong.

Improves recovery without eroding trust

Resolving transactional failures and early-stage stress fast lifts recovery rates while preserving the relationship with the consumer.

Built for scale

FVRSI runs in real time across an entire book simultaneously, at near-zero marginal cost per account.

Fully auditable

Every score — and the reasoning behind it — is logged, giving regulators, auditors, and boards a transparent record of how vulnerability was assessed and acted on.

Beyond recovery: an instrument of public trust

Debt recovery is the most visible use case — but it isn't the only one. Every interaction SimONE manages is fair, transparent, and calibrated to the person on the other end, rather than a blanket enforcement action. That builds something governments need everywhere, whether or not arrears are a problem: trust between the state and the people it serves.

Every citizen treated fairly

No blanket enforcement. FVRSI ensures a resident facing genuine hardship is met with support, not pressure — and one who can pay is engaged accordingly.

Transparent by design

Consistent, explainable engagement — not opaque escalation — gives citizens a government interaction they can predict and trust.

Trust compounds

A government seen to treat its people with dignity earns goodwill that extends well beyond the transaction — into voluntary compliance, civic participation, and reputation.

Public sector first — built to lead globally

SimONE's primary mission is government revenue infrastructure. It also extends cleanly to adjacent revenue relationships.

Cities & municipalities

Recover rates and service charges while protecting indigent registration integrity — routing genuinely destitute residents to support, not enforcement.

Utilities

Distinguish a burst-pipe emergency from a payment that simply didn't go through — and resolve both, without cutting off supply to someone who can't afford it, or losing revenue from someone who can.

Property rates & tax collection

Separate strategic non-compliance from genuine hardship across a mass taxpayer base, and act on each differently — improving voluntary compliance instead of just chasing arrears.

Retail lenders

Move beyond blunt days-past-due triggers. Detect early financial stress before a loan rolls into default, and offer the right forbearance to the right customer at the right time.
