* EasyBill Now Desk-Top Stand Alone Version offers Automated Customer Payment Processing, i.e., Online Payment Processor (currently contracted with NexbillPay only) and Direct Debit with Bank Drafts or ACH (Electronic Funds Transfer) *NOTE:  CCS LLC is currently recommending 1 preferred online payment processor (Nexbillpay), however, if you are already contracted with another online payment processor and cannot terminate, we would need to enter a contract with that processor before releasing the interface.  EasyBill Now Desk-Top Stand Alone Version will allow the display of the entire billing card online, do en masse emailing, and en masse “Boil Water Notices” through the online bill payment processor. HOWEVER, emailing of bills and notices can also be done directly from the software by the billing clerk in the office. *IMPORTANT* Should a utility go PAPERLESS, the 6 cents per account charged in the EasyBill Now monthly subscription price will not only be recovered by the system, but the utility will make additional income with each monthly emailing! Keep in mind the savings on postage and billing documents with your customers who choose to receive ONLY emailed bills.  In fact, most financial institutions and businesses now require their customers to cover the cost of mailed bills/statements (currently $1.99) when paperless billing is made available to them. Consider the following example of savings with a utility with 1000 accounts going paperless:

Base cost: $150 monthly + 6 cents X 1000 accounts ($60) = $210 per month total CCS charges. *NOTE: This subscription cost includes the license to use EasyBill NOW and the software support.

In this example, with a utility en masse emailing and the 1000 accounts going paperless, the postage stamp savings could be as much as 40 cents per card (price depending on the utility’s current mailing status, such as bulk permit, CASS certification) X 1000, ($400) plus 7.5 cents per billing card (the current cost for 1000 cards, $75.50) for a total of $475.50 SAVINGS MONTHLY!!! (***Again, utility must calculate their current postal rate for accuracy on the total.) Consequently, with this scenario, the new EasyBill NOW is not only NOT costing the utility anything BUT IS ADDITIONALLY BRINGING MORE INCOME MONTHLY INTO THE UTILITY SYSTEM.

* EasyBill Now Desk-Top Stand Alone Version has a Superior Audit trail loved by Auditors/CPAs of utilities using 1st Generation EasyBill 32 nationwide that allows Tracking of Entry Dates throughout Historical Data. (Never locked out of Historical Financial Activity and Activity can be Easily Tracked Through Activity Log.)
