What are the Payment Processing vs Non Payment Processing procedures?

Payment processing: We produce the bills, send them directly to tenants via mail or ebill and then make collections to reimburse the property’s utility expense less our billing fee, we take tenant calls and can explain the bills themselves as well as past due balances and payment options.

Non payment processing: We produce the bills and send them to the tenants, we can take calls explaining the current bills only. We have no knowledge of past due balances or payment options. The property pays us directly for service.

How does Customized Reporting work?

Properties have the ability to enter our billing system and run reports for their properties. Examples of useful reports are the BIL 112 this report is able to be generated with each billing cycle which breaks down every detail of the cycle that was billed. For Payment processing properties only another useful report is the FIN 102 this is the current receivable balance for the property. It will let you know what each tenant owes currently and even when they made their last payment this report is not useful for non payment processing as we have no payment information so the balances are always accruing on those types of properties.
