Join us at GFOA’s 120th Annual Conference, June 28–July 1 in Chicago. SOFTRAX will be at Booth #770 with live demos of BluIQ, our platform built for public sector chargeback, IT cost allocation, and intelligent billing automation.
Whether you’re managing shared services for a state agency, county, or public institution, we’d love to show you what’s possible.
Book time with our team before the show or find us at Booth #770 on the exhibit floor.
Why Government Finance Leaders Are Prioritizing Billing Modernization in 2026
Government finance teams at the state, county, federal, and education levels are under growing pressure to do more with the same resources. Cloud environments are expanding, AI adoption is accelerating, and Shared Services Organizations are being asked to recover IT costs, justify technology spend, and demonstrate the value of every service they deliver accurately and on time, every billing cycle.
For many agencies, the challenge isn’t awareness. It’s execution. Manual chargeback processes, spreadsheet-based cost allocation, and ERP workarounds that weren’t built for consumption-based billing are creating real risk: delayed financial reporting, interagency billing disputes, compliance gaps, and revenue leakage that’s difficult to trace and even harder to defend.
That’s the problem BluIQ was built to solve.
What SOFTRAX Brings to GFOA 2026
SOFTRAX is a leading provider of intelligent billing, subscription management, and revenue operations software. Our flagship platform, BluIQ, is purpose-built for organizations that manage complex, multi-entity billing; including state and local governments, federal agencies, county finance offices, and public education institutions.
At GFOA’s 120th Annual Conference in Chicago, our team will be on the exhibit floor at Booth #770 to walk attendees through the capabilities that matter most to public sector finance professionals:
BluIQ Chargeback & Cost Recovery automates the process of recovering IT costs across departments, agencies, and programs. Instead of estimating or applying flat-rate allocations, BluIQ calculates charges based on actual consumption of cloud services, desktops, voice, and other shared infrastructure — producing billing records that are accurate, auditable, and defensible.
Data Staging & Mediation ingests high-volume usage data from multiple technology systems and normalizes it into clean, granular billing inputs. For agencies dealing with complex cloud environments or multi-vendor technology stacks, this capability eliminates the manual reconciliation work that typically consumes weeks of staff time during every billing cycle.
The Cloud Extensibility Platform allows finance and IT teams to configure billing rules, rate structures, and chargeback policies to match their specific programs, funding categories, and interagency agreements — without custom development and without pulling in IT resources every time a change is needed.
BI & Analytics delivers real-time dashboards and flexible reporting across the full billing and cost recovery operation. Finance leadership gets the visibility to track recovery performance, monitor departmental consumption trends, and make confident budget decisions — without waiting for a manual report to be assembled.
The Integration & Provisioning Gateway connects BluIQ to your existing ERP, CRM, and financial systems. There’s no rip-and-replace, no costly re-implementation, and no disruption to the workflows your team already depends on.
Who Should Visit Us at Booth #770
If you’re attending GFOA 2026 and any of the following describe your organization, we want to talk:
- Your Shared Services Organization is under pressure to move from simple cost allocation to value-based service optimization.
- Your team is managing cloud or technology chargebacks manually, with spreadsheets or ERP workarounds that weren’t designed for the volume or complexity you’re dealing with.
- You’re responsible for IT billing accuracy across multiple departments, agencies, or funding categories, and the current process doesn’t hold up under audit scrutiny.
- You need better visibility into technology spend and cost recovery performance, but your current systems can’t produce the reporting leadership needs.
