Alliance Windows Suite vs. IMS Utility Billing vs. Open Smartflex vs. SOFTWater Comparison Chart

The most flexible and versatile billing system available at any price, the IMS Utility Billing system can serve both private and public utility services. The system is easy to use for the smaller customers with only a few hundred accounts, yet powerful enough to handle large customers with many thousands of accounts. There is no limit to the number of customers the system can handle. Utility Billing can bill many metered services, including water, sewer, electric, or gas, as well as any additional charges that your service bills, such as pest control, late fees, or assessments. Standard billing forms (both laser bill cards and laser letter statements) are included with the program. Custom bill forms can be created for an additional charge. A new module offered will print the POSTNET Bar Code on letter laser statements, a great cost saver for large mailings. The IMS Utility Billing system interfaces with many handheld meter readers, for quick meter reading data entry.
