Property billing goes far beyond sending a monthly invoice. Meter readings, shared costs, mid period changes, deposits and debt collection all run at the same time across many units. SkyBill has put together nine questions companies should ask before choosing a billing tool for Microsoft Dynamics 365.
The nine questions
Can it allocate shared costs among tenants with configurable rules?
Can it model multi-property and multi-owner structures?
Can every invoice be traced back to readings, tariffs and allocation rules?
Does it support billing on behalf of landlords?
How does it handle move-ins, move-outs and deposits?
Can payment reminders and debt collection be automated?
Can several services be combined on one invoice, or split when needed?
How does it connect with financial accounting and other ERPs?
Can service requests and maintenance issues be handled in the same system?
How SkyBill answers them
SkyBill is a native Business Central extension, so billing and accounting share one system with general ledger, receivables, tax, bank reconciliation and audit logs built in. Validation runs before invoices are issued, and bills can go out by post, email, SMS or through the tenant portal.
The tariff engine handles changes that overlap in the same billing period, such as a new tenant, a meter replacement and a tariff update, across tens of thousands of units. For organisations running SAP or Oracle, SkyBill connects through APIs and web services, and it also supports smart meter gateways, bank gateways, direct debit and third party debt collection.
Frequently asked questions
What should I look for in a property billing tool for Dynamics 365?
Flexible cost allocation, support for complex ownership, traceable invoices, move-in and move-out handling, automated collections, flexible invoice grouping, financial integration and service request management.
Does SkyBill work with ERPs other than Business Central?
Yes. It can integrate with SAP, Oracle and other enterprise ERPs through APIs and web services.
