Key advantages of SkyBill
Specialized Utility Billing Features SkyBill extends Dynamics 365 Business Central with utility billing features for complex tariff calculations, such as automated meter-to-cash processes, complex tariff configurations (e.g., time-of-use rates, prepaid plans), and error-checking mechanisms for data validation. These features are tailored specifically for utility service providers, enabling them to manage diverse customer segments and services efficiently.
Customer Self-Service Portal Unlike standard Business Central, SkyBill includes a customer self-service portal. It allows customers to view and pay bills, track consumption, and submit meter readings online, enhancing customer satisfaction and reducing administrative workload for utility providers.
