    California DMV case study

    Transforming Service Delivery for 27 Million Californians

    The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) serves more than 27 million drivers and vehicle owners across 380+ field offices statewide. Each year, the DMV handles millions of in-person payments, registrations, and document transactions. Critical to the state's transportation and licensing infrastructure.

    To modernize these interactions, the DMV selected Eposly, the Salesforce-native Point-of-Sale (POS) and Control Cashiering solution, to digitize permit payments and cashiering processes directly within Salesforce Government Cloud.

    Challenge: Manual Workflows and Limited Real-Time Visibility

    The DMV's legacy permit and cashiering systems were built for an analog era. Offices faced mounting challenges, including:

    • Long in-office wait times and inconsistent service across locations.
    • Paper-heavy reconciliation that delayed financial reporting.
    • Fragmented visibility into daily transactions and cash positions.
    • Compliance complexity, with manual audit trails across hundreds of sites.

    To meet citizen expectations and operational standards, the DMV sought a secure, scalable POS and cashiering solution that could integrate seamlessly with Salesforce Government Cloud and deliver real-time transparency statewide.

    Solution: Salesforce-Native POS & Control Cashiering by Eposly

    Eposly's Salesforce-native POS and Control Cashiering suite is being deployed across DMV offices to unify cashiering, payments, and reporting within a single Salesforce environment.

    Core capabilities include:

    • Multi-payment support (cash, card, mobile, check) with automated reconciliation.
    • Integrated fee calculation for permits, registrations, and renewals.
    • Instant Salesforce record updates, eliminating manual data entry.
    • Control Cashiering, real time visibility into cash registers
    • Live dashboards tracking cash drawer status, audit logs, and revenue by location.
    • Native Government Cloud integration for compliance, scalability, and security.

    By embedding Eposly within Salesforce, the DMV can move toward a fully digital service model, reducing queues, streamlining transactions, and improving financial control. All within a trusted public-sector cloud environment.

    Early Outcomes and Expected Impact

    As deployment progresses, the DMV is already seeing strong indicators of improved efficiency and user satisfaction.

    Upon full rollout, the solution is expected to support:

    METRIC PROJECT OUTCOME
    Transactions Processed 75 million annually
    Value of Payments $14 billion handled securely each year
    Wait Time Reduction Up to ↓ 20% across field offices
    Customer Re-Visits Up to ↓ 40% fewer repeat visits required
    Customer Satisfaction Up to ↑ 100% improvement in post-visit ratings
    Audit & Compliance Real-time traceability across 380+ sites

    These projections reflect Eposly's internal performance benchmarks and early pilot insights, positioning the DMV for measurable gains in both operational efficiency and citizen experience once the rollout is complete.
