Our products
Our core product is the Obligations Suite. All of our system modules run on the Obligations Suite, so you choose the modules that match the levies and obligations your authority manages.
A comprehensive list of Exacom's current products and services (as of October 2026) can be found in our Product and Service document. You can contact us directly to purchase the system, or alternatively you can do so via G-Cloud 15.
The Obligations Suite
The Obligations Suite is our powerful web-based, multi-user back office system for planning authorities, CIL charging authorities and other levy-collecting authorities. It provides the shared platform – users, sites, applications, legal agreements, finances, documents, reporting, alerts and in-system help – that every Exacom module is built on.
The Obligations Suite is required for all of the modules below. Each system module can be added to your Obligations Suite at any time, so your system can grow as your responsibilities change.
System modules – all run on the Obligations Suite
CIL
Designed to take the sting out of Community Infrastructure Levy administration. The workflow interface guides users through every step of the process: capturing information, calculating charges, levies and surcharges, generating notices, managing finances and alerting users when due dates are reached.
S106
Monitor and enforce Section 106 agreements, from the individual obligations and covenants within each deed through to triggers, payments and compliance.
Projects
Plan and track the delivery of community infrastructure, allocating and spending the CIL and S106 funds you have collected.
Biodiversity Net Gain
Import and monitor data directly from the DEFRA BNG Metric Excel workbook, or alternatively enter the data directly into the system. Building on our advanced legal agreement monitoring tools, entries from this metric can be monitored and reviewed at specific intervals. This module will develop as the legislation does: once more information is released, we will expand it with enforcement, optional public-facing features and API integrations.
Building Safety Levy New
Our BSL Module offers a complete software solution for the management, monitoring and collection of the Building Safety Levy. Launched successfully ahead of the introduction of the Building Safety Levy legislation in October 2026, it is already being used by many authorities to manage the levy.
Sharing many common features with our popular and successful CIL Module, the BSL Module’s simple and logical approach and in-system help enable authorities to quickly get to grips with managing and monitoring this levy. It also integrates with DELTA reporting, making the process as easy as possible for officers.
Public Facing Module
The Public Facing Module (PFM) is a daily feed from your Obligations Suite to a public facing webserver that allows members of the public to interrogate all aspects of planning obligations in their varying states: pending, due, received, allocated and spent. This public transparency module can be thoroughly customised to suit your needs, giving you control over your data. Additionally, this system allows the public to view S106 deeds and the individual covenants in them.
The PFM also features an optional online CIL Calculator which allows developers and members of the public to work out the basic CIL charge for development within that CIL charging area. This calculator is likewise updated with the data set in your Obligations Suite. An important thing to note is that the PFM uses the modules in your Obligations Suite, meaning that there is no additional charge to get BSL, Biodiversity and other datapoints showing in your PFM if you have these modules.

Exacom Public Interface
The Exacom Public Interface (EPI) is a collection of public facing data entry interfaces that allow members of the public to submit data directly to your Obligations Suite in a secure and paper-free environment. Rather than relying on post and having to scan documents in or having to deal with emails and attachments the EPI allows data to be submitted securely and digitally to your Obligations Suite.
The EPI launched in 2023 with the CIL Forms module, allowing members of the public to submit the statutory forms required for CIL compliance directly to your CIL Module for officer review and acceptance (or rejection), cutting out late/missing post, incorrectly addressed emails or corrupted attachments to offer a truly paper-free workflow for CIL. The EPI will continue to expand with new modules for data submission for aspects of S106, such as plans for review, Affordable Housing data or requests to discharge restrictive covenants. The EPI also offers Building Safety Levy integration, allowing parties to upload application data, building data and supporting documentation directly to your BSL Module for approval.
