CRI HARMONY BILLING SYSTEM

 

Computer Resources Mobile Radio Billing System is designed to provide a detailed and comprehensive billing interface for all types of Mobile Radio systems, from the simplest to the most comprehensive, even cellular.  It is designed to interface and download airtime billing information from most switch/ controller manufacturers.

 

The Mobile Radio Billing System interfaces directly with Accounts Receivable, which allows enrollment of radios for billing without repetitive customer information entry.  After airtime and other billable services are calculated, and invoices generated, this allows direct posting into accounts receivable and general ledger.

 

CRI has designed MRB to provide the mobile operator with a wide range of flexible billing options.  It provides a virtually unlimited number of user selected usage rate and flat rate subscriber billing options. Subscriber services may be one time or recurring. It allows for pooled or un-pooled usage rate billing with or without rollover minutes. It provides up to six tiers of usage rate billing. The system allows for selected proration by service

 

MRB provides up to thirteen call classifications at this time, six dispatch, and seven interconnect. Each call class may be defined with different pools, tiered rate plans, and discounts. 

 

Operators may mix different manufacturers equipment in the same billing system. CRI has designed a wide range of data loaders and call calculation software to recover call data and produce a unified call history file.  This call history file in combination with the master billing record and the accounts receivable information allows the Mobile Radio Billing System to be an extremely powerful reporting engine.  A wide range of both summary and detailed reports are available covering the complete spectrum of mobile radio management.

 

The ability to maintain individual radio billing and information records, integrate multiple manufacturers, provide flexible billing options, and integrate into a wide range of other billing and accounting modules provides the mobile operator with that extra edge necessary in today’s competitive marketplace.
