SKYBILL Utility Management, Billing and CIS software is an integrated extension in Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC ERP, but can be also used as a standalone module with data exported to your existing ERP at general ledger level. All data import and export forms are available in SKYBILL. Import and export is done via Excel files.

FEATURES

SERVICE ADDRESSES

Define any type of facilities for each customer, including apartments, garages, business, and other properties. You can define groups of properties to be billed, in order to adjust rates more precisely - for example, the domestic property rate might be lower than the business property rate for the same service, or vice versa.

SERVICES

Define any number and any kind of services provided at each property. As well as water, electricity, gas, and heating, you can include any other services that need to be billed regularly.

TARIFFS

Set rates and any combination of rates and services. Rates can be configured per agreement, customer, customer group, property, quantity or time period, and in any permutation required.

BILL CALCULATIONS

Set rates, and any combination of rates and services. Calculate bills periodically based on meter readings or flat rates.

SHARED CAPITAL SERVICES

Define services that are calculated based on other services (e.g. sewerage, pro-rata shared services, etc.)

CREDITS & COLLECTIONS

Get complete information about your customers' consumption and payments. The solution is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC ERP, so it includes all accounting and reporting functionality. For some countries special localization modules are available; call support for more information.

ELECTRONIC INVOICES

With SKYBILL you can prepare bills to be sent via regular post, email, SMS, or to the customer portal. SKYBILL billing doesn’t provide an SMS messaging service; this is usually done by local service providers.

SMART METER INTEGRATIONS

Option to integrate your billing solution with external systems, such as meter reading gateways, for automatic data upload.

VALIDATION & ESTIMATION

Manage bulk manual data entry with a sophisticated error-control system. Before the billing process, the system comprehensively validates the data and issues warnings about incomplete data or significant differences from average usage patterns.

METER ASSET MANAGEMENT

Track your meter maintenance. SKYBILL has an in-built fixed asset tracking solution, to see where the meter is located when it needs repairing or replacing, and other meter-related information.

LOCATIONS

Track multiple locations for individual customers. With SKYBILL you can manage multiple locations for one client, and bill them on one or separate bills depending on the client's needs.

REPORTS

Create customized reports. You can create any report and export it to doc, pdf, CSV, or XLS formats. Some reports can be created by the user, while others need special setups, which we can help with.

CLIENT PORTAL

Customers can see their bills and consumption and payment histories, enter meter readings, communicate with their service provider, and pay for services online (optional). The client portal is included in the price and there are no additional usage charges. 

DIRECT DEBIT

SKYBILL provides a direct debit option (requires an appropriate agreement with your bank and clients). A direct debit or direct withdrawal is a financial transaction, in which one person withdraws funds from another person's bank account.

INTEGRATION

Any kind of integration is possible with other systems, such as ERP, bank gateways, SMS messaging, debt collection, client portals, etc.
