JAYHAWK
UTILITY BILLING SYSTEM |
The
S4 is designed to fit your needs:
Whether
you're a Small or Large City or Utility District with 1 or more Services (water, sewer, electric,
gas, trash, membership dues, etc.), our system will simplify
your utility billing.
What
is the S4 System?
The Series
3 systems were our most popular versions prior to the Jayhawk Utility
Suite. We have combined the most popular add-ons from the
Series 3 and added new features,
changed the pricing structure and now offer it as the S4. The
S4 system was designed
from customer suggestions with ease
of use and flexibility in mind, and offers an array of features for
smaller utility billing customers. This system also supports the separate Account/Premise
billing model, which is illustrated best by our on-line demo. This feature allows a person who
moves away to continue to make payments, get past due notices and
late charges even if a new customer has moved into his/her previous
premise (contact
us for a demo at your convenience).
S4
NEW Features
The S4 now offers
the new time-saving Batch Usage Entry and Batch Receipts
Entry features that had been previously offered only in our
larger city/utility district solution, JUS.
Another new feature is the Category field on the Premise
screen that allows you to organize and print billing reports by
the user-defined categories.
|
Batch Usage Entry
lets you enter the readings for a group of customers and
verify the readings before you actually save them to the
customers' premises. The Batch Usage Report shows the
readings, usage, special activity (rollovers, change outs,
estimates) and the projected bill amount allowing you to
catch potential errors BEFORE they are saved to the customer
resulting in fewer errors and adjustments. |

|
Batch
Receipts Entry lets you enter the receipts for a group
of customers and verify those payments before you actually
save them to the customers' accounts. The Batch
Receipts Report shows the bill amount, amount paid, and
remaining amount due (including the distribution breakdown)
allowing you to catch potential errors BEFORE they are saved
to the customer resulting in fewer errors and
adjustments. This feature also allows you to indicate
customer payment type (check/cash/etc.) and reference and
balance the total to your bank deposit before posting to the
customers. |

S4 System Overview
The base system supports
two Stepped Utility Services (based on one metered
rate) and two Fixed Utility Services (each Service can have up to
99 different charge rates). For example, this system would work
for a small district that bills for Water, Sewer, and Trash
for up to 500 billable customers. It tracks
information based on premise and/or account, storing history on
both.
The system can be
expanded with other features and support for additional Utility
Services like Electric and Gas and expanded to handle
over 10,000 billable customers.
Our systems are
structured to be affordable for small districts but can be expanded
to handle the needs of large districts. For larger districts, our software
also has modules available to interface with automated meter-reading handheld
devices, electronic payment generation, postal bar-coding and other
modules that will save you time and money.

We
also offer a Customer Read Software (sometimes referred to as Self-Read) that is designed for districts
that have the customer read his/her own meter and send in the
reading with his/her payment. The CRS features are similar to our S4 and we have a Customer Read demo available if you would like to contact
us and request it.
