Utility Billing

Centralized and customizable utility billing system

RevenueSense® Utility Billing provides an easily accessed centralized information system for all utility customers, GIS integration and customized billing schedules. The system helps improve cash flow, reduces paperwork and manual efforts for employees and provides enhanced services to customers.

Centralized Information for Accurate Answers
Operating as a centralized property and name model, Utility Billing allows all information recorded by various departments to be easily displayed. With a single point of reference and a common knowledge base for all customer transactions, staff can quickly locate information and provide accurate answers to customers.

One System Manages Multiple Meters
Utility Billing can handle a wide range of metering services, including water, sewer, storm water, electric and gas. The system also handles various types of meters and devices, both active and inactive. You can manage meter inventory and preventive maintenance, as well as conduct a complete meter/device history of location, maintenance and service data online. Performance analysis and GIS integration also allow you to determine the condition of meters and devices.

A Single Account for Multiple Meters
Under a single account number, the system can manage information from multiple meters and reading devices, providing fast answers to customer inquiries. Compound meters, ERTs, water and sewer meters, sprinklers, etc., are easily incorporated into the system. Most handheld scanners can also be used to conduct utility meter readings.

Customized Billing System
The system’s ability to manage flexible rate structures allows multiple services to be assigned to multiple meters or devices. Using this information, you can send utility bills on a flexible schedule. Bills can be sent monthly, quarterly or semi-annually. Or, you can bill on varying schedules, such as billing quarterly for residential, monthly for commercial and semi-monthly for industrial. You determine the billing cycles and the system takes it from there.

Complete Mailing Flexibility
Mailing indexes allow you to develop a customized schedule for mailing utility bills. Third parties can be designated for elderly citizens and multiple owners. Alternate addresses of seasonal residents can also be input into the system and scheduled for off-season billing.
