SwiftComply Backflow FAQs

We're switching from [Tokay / Syncta / SAMS / XC2 / an old Access or mainframe database] — how does data migration work?

SwiftComply's implementation team reviews an export of your existing backflow data (assemblies, testers, contacts, test history) for quality and completeness before import, and flags required-field gaps (like missing device size, tester certification info, or contact data) that need resolving first. Migrations commonly surface pre-existing data quality issues in the legacy system — cleanup during migration is normal, not a sign something's wrong with the new platform.

Should the utility pay for the backflow program, or can testers pay per test (tester-pay model)?

Both models are supported. In a city-funded model, the utility pays an annual subscription and testing is free to test companies and customers. In a tester-pay model, a small per-test fee is charged to the testing company or passed through to the customer, and the utility's direct software cost is reduced or eliminated. Which model fits depends on your customer base — programs with government or nonprofit-heavy customer bases (schools, public agencies) sometimes find per-test fees administratively awkward.

Can SwiftComply stop a tester from submitting results if their certification or device calibration has expired?

Yes — certification and calibration enforcement can be configured so that expired-cert testers cannot submit valid test results, which prevents invalid test records from entering your compliance data (a common gap in older backflow systems).

Do testers need to create an account, or can our staff enter all test results on their behalf?

Both workflows are supported. Some utilities require testers to self-submit through a tester portal; others — particularly smaller or authority-administered programs — have admin staff enter every test report on behalf of testers, with no tester login required.

How does SwiftComply notify customers who are overdue on backflow testing?

SwiftComply automates the notice cascade (e.g., first notice, follow-up notice, final/shutoff-eligible notice) via email, physical mail, or both per contact. Notices can go to multiple contacts per assembly — for example, a property manager as well as the billing contact — which addresses a common gap in legacy systems where notices only follow the billing address.

Can notices go to a landlord instead of a tenant, or to a property management company instead of the billing address?

Yes. Because contacts are tied to the physical location/assembly rather than only to the customer billing record, notices can be routed to a landlord or property manager independent of who the current tenant or billing customer is — this specifically solves a common problem in older systems where the notice "follows" the tenant instead of staying with the property.

Does SwiftComply integrate with our billing system so testers or customers get charged automatically?

Billing sync integrations exist for common municipal billing/CIS platforms; test completions can trigger a billing event rather than requiring manual handoff to a finance team. Ask your rep to confirm compatibility with your specific billing system.

How long does a typical backflow implementation take?

Timelines vary with data quality and scope, but implementations commonly run in the 6–12 week range from kickoff to go-live, including data migration, user acceptance testing (UAT), and staff training. Programs with clean existing data and fewer custom fields go faster; programs migrating from very old or poorly maintained systems should budget more time for data cleanup.
