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.
