First Byte Corporation: Byte Utility Billing System

BYTE UTILITY BILLING SYSTEM
SYSTEM OVERVIEW

First Byte Corporation's Byte Utility Billing System (BUBS) has been successfully utilized throughout New Jersey for over ten years. BUBS is designed to fully comply with all New Jersey municipal, utility or authority utility billing and accounting requirements. BUBS is designed to be utilized by both small and large New Jersey municipalities in a single user mode as well as in a true multi-user mode which permits multiple operators to utilize virtually all of the aspects of BUBS at the same time.

BUBS is an up-to-date, comprehensive software package. It was developed with operational simplicity in mind. We have designed BUBS to permit local government professionals with almost no computer experience to take full advantage of all of its capability and wide selection of features. The following are some of the key features of BUBS.

BUBS is unique among utility billing systems due to its inherent flexibility. It is designed to readily adapt to the specific billing services, user classes and rate structure of the individual municipality, utility or authority. BUBS is also designed to facilitate the changing requirements of the user by allowing changes to the billing and service structure as needed. Therefore, the BUBS user is not forced to accept a predefined rigid utility billing format.

BUBS is designed to meet the need of both small and large organizations. Due to its flexibility, it is also ideally suited to use where growth is a consideration.

BUBS can easily be interfaced with REMOTE AND ELECTRONIC METER READING Systems, ON-LINE CASH RECEIPTING (MRCS) as well as BAR CODING systems.

BUBS incorporates user definable services, rates, classes, penalty structures, grace periods and billing cycles.

BUBS includes complete audit trail listings of all financial postings, service changes, as well as owner/consumer information.
