How to Evaluate Pricing and Get a Demo of Quikwater

Updated

Quikwater does not publish prices on its site. To evaluate cost and see the software, use two paths the vendor provides: the Pricing page at quikwaters.com/pricing and a quote or free-demo request through the site's contact form or by calling 1-800-240-7113. This fits small to medium sized rural and municipal utilities that bill water, sewer, refuse, and user-defined charges and want a guided walkthrough before committing.

What you can learn before contacting sales

The public site gives you enough to frame a useful first conversation:

  • Product scope: Quikwater is utility billing software from TAK Technology (founded 1983, a New Mexico corporation and Quikwater's parent). It handles water charges plus sewer, refuse, and user-defined charges.
  • Version structure: The site states there are 3 versions to meet your need, so version fit is a legitimate question for the quote request.
  • Billing features: Flexible rate structure, modifiable bill formats, online bill pay, email billing, transaction rollback, and printing of mailing labels and demand letters.
  • Accounting features: Automatic month-end close-out, historical billing and account history reports, and deposit, cash transaction, and adjustment reports.
  • Meter reading support: Radio-read integration listed for Sensus, Neptune, EZRoute, Boson, VersaProbe, Neptune Equinox II–IV (Neptune 360), Badger Connect/Orion, Hersey EZ Reader, American Water Co., Itron MV-RS, Badger Beacon, Tesla RG3 Meters, Kamstrup, and Zenner. For utilities without electronic meters, an iPad interface supports manual readings so staff don't retype them each month.

Steps to get pricing and a demo

  1. Check the Pricing page first. Go to quikwaters.com/pricing. If the page lists tiers or feature comparisons, note which of the 3 versions matches your utility size and charge types.
  2. Prepare your utility profile. Before requesting a quote, write down: number of accounts, charge types (water, sewer, refuse, other), whether you use radio-read meters or manual reading, and which accounting reports you need. This lets the vendor quote against the right version.
  3. Submit the quote or demo request. The site's form asks for full name, phone, and email, and includes a consent checkbox for non-marketing text messages about a free demo or quote. Expect follow-up by phone, text, or email rather than instant online pricing.
  4. Or call directly. The listed number is 1-800-240-7113 if you prefer to talk through version fit and pricing without filling out the form.
  5. Use the demo to test your own scenarios. Ask to see a bill generated from your rate structure, a month-end close-out, and a meter read import from your specific meter brand (or the iPad manual-reading path).

What to verify during the demo

  • Which of the 3 versions covers your charge types and account volume.
  • Whether your meter hardware appears in the supported radio-read list, or whether the iPad interface is the right fit.
  • How online bill pay and email billing would work for your customers.
  • What the quote includes beyond software — the site references partners and system integration, so clarify scope.

Common sticking points

  • No public price list: budget approval may require a quote cycle, so start early.
  • Form consent: the demo/quote form includes an SMS consent checkbox; read it before submitting if text contact is a concern.
  • Version ambiguity: with 3 versions and no published comparison, ask explicitly which one the quote is based on.

For a small or mid-sized utility that wants a personal-touch billing vendor and needs to confirm cost before purchase, the practical sequence is: review the Pricing page, gather your account and meter details, then request a quote or free demo by form or phone.
