PORTLAND, OR — The City of Portland, Oregon, has completed deployment of Velosimo Connect, a no-code, off-the-shelf integration linking the Accela Civic Platform with Elavon for real-time payment processing. The new connection eliminates manual data entry and streamlines transactional workflows, aligning with the City’s effort to reduce administrative overhead and modernize service delivery.
Historically, payments related to Cannabis, Liquor Licensing, and Short-Term Rental fees were processed manually, introducing inefficiencies and delays, particularly during high-volume renewal periods. The implementation of Velosimo Connect automates the flow of payment data between Accela and Elavon, removing the need for duplicate entry and manual reconciliation.
The integration's real-time nature ensures faster, more accurate transaction processing and improves the reliability of financial records. This enables staff to meet internal reporting timelines and support compliance with audit standards.
