AMCS Utility Billing vs Voltio

AMCS Utility Billing is a cloud-based contract and billing solution for utilities. Its billing engine rates and bills millions of records each day, and staff can use customer information management to view a complete account. The system accepts meter readings in varied formats and applies customer contract specifications, with support for multiple tariffs and time intervals. It produces customised invoices for email delivery or mailing through a vetted print house. A branded customer portal lets people view statements, pay online, and submit service requests. Payment methods also include phone, autopay, and mail, with integration to popular payment processors. AMCS describes the product for electricity, water, gas, air conditioning, and telecommunications utilities. For Australia, the solution is AEMO Certified, automates communications with the electricity market hub, and imports NEM12 and NEM13 data. It is delivered as cloud SaaS; AMCS says cloud delivery lets personnel work away from the office and avoids downtime for upgrades.
