- Current Software
- Timely Payment Plans
- The Reduction of Handling Costs
- Customer Convenience
- The Re-Presentation of NSF Returns Automatically
- Cost Effectiveness and Unmatched ROI
Current Software
With EPP's integrated approach to payment processing, information is updated within current accounting software as soon as the payment clears. This automation eliminates the need for duplicate data entry or time-intensive software training. Utility companies already have all the tools they need to succeed.
Timely Payment Plans
Utility companies that implement EPP payment solutions receive guaranteed funds on time every time without waiting for cleared checks or delayed recievables management. EPP payment solutions allow customers to enroll in the automatic payment option, which simplifies customer bill payment while enabling utility companies to minimize late payments.
Reduce Handling Costs and Losses
Other costs related to billing and recievables are incurred by utility companies, including remittance processing, lockbox fees, insufficient funds charges, billing and statement mailing costs, and collection agency fees. EPP's integrated payment solutions eliminate many of the hidden costs associated with billing. Recurring payments also minimize losses associated with NSF checks or late payments. Encouraging customers to enroll in the automatic payment option ensures that utility companies will be paid on time every month.
Customer Convenience
EPP solutions provide customers with the convenience and security of automatic bill payment through credit card or ACH (electronic check) transactions. Customers no longer worry about tracking bill payment due dates, writing checks, and mailing statements.
Automatic Re-Presentment
Re-Present NSF and returned items as many as two times automatically. If your business experiences significant volume of returned consumer checks and is interested in collecting NSF checks in-house electronically, then EPP provides the optimal software solution.
EPP Solutions Drive Cost Savings and Efficiencies
The benefits of EPP Payment solutions are realized immediately upon implementation. With a high level of automation, EPP solutions pave the way for a paperless billing and accounts-receivable system while returning precious time to focus on your business.
