Greetings!

BillMaster Water Efficiency
We'd like to thank Candy Cooper of the City of Fountain and Raetta Leiker, of Parker Water and Sanitation District, for their contributions to the cover article "The Benefits of Automated Billing" in the September-October 2010 issue of Water Efficiency Magazine. The article describes the benefits of automation in the billing process and also interviews utilities that have automated their billing.  It is an informative article with real world examples of how billing software can save a utility time and money. 
  New BillMaster User Guide is Available

Phone Number Sort Order is Important When Using BillMaster Voice / Teleworks

 

If you are planning to use BillMaster Voice for incoming or outgoing calls, it is important for you to populate your phone numbers with the Sort Order information (to access the sort order, click the plus sign next to phone number on the home screen).   For example, if a customer has more than one phone number, you should designate the primary phone number with a sort order of 'A' or '1', and secondary phone numbers with 'B', etc. BillMaster will use the lowest sort order value as the primary phone number when it calls out.  If the sort order is not specified, BillMaster will just use the first phone number it finds on that account.
