Description

The IMS Utility Billing system stands out as the most adaptable and comprehensive billing solution available, catering to both private and public utility providers. Designed with user-friendliness in mind, it effectively serves smaller clients managing just a few hundred accounts while also possessing the robustness required to support larger entities with thousands of accounts. Its capacity for customer management is virtually limitless, making it a preferred choice for various utility companies. This billing system is capable of handling a diverse range of metered services, including but not limited to water, sewer, electricity, and gas, in addition to accommodating extra charges like pest control fees, late payments, and assessments. The program comes equipped with standard billing forms, which include both laser bill cards and letter statements, while allowing for the creation of customized bill formats for an extra fee. A recently introduced module enhances functionality by enabling the printing of POSTNET Bar Codes on letter laser statements, significantly reducing costs for substantial mail distributions.

Overall, this system combines flexibility and efficiency, making it an ideal choice for utility billing needs.
