Mecklenburg County financial services, budget, and tax collections departments collaborated to innovate tracking and reporting of sales revenues and collections. The three departments, Financial Services Department (FIN), Office of the Tax Collector (TAX), and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), created a single-site solution and reporting dashboard of real time data with an aim to increase cross functional knowledge and enhance synergy between the departments. This effort was a sub-project of the Finance Department Data Mart and Dashboard Analytics Project as a value add to the County. The inter-departmental sales revenue and collections dashboard incorporates data from ad valorem tax collection, sales revenue, and motor vehicle collections.
