From the innovators of Convergent Billing, OCIUS introduces UtilitiesPLUS, the first convergent management solution for ALL your property utility expenses. UtilitiesPLUS Expense Manager is the most comprehensive solution available for the efficient management of your property utility expenses. UtilitiesPLUS fully integrates all processing related
to your site’s utility expense including cost capture, audit, consolidation, recovery, reporting and payment.
Streamlined & Simplified Payment.
The UtilitiesPLUS Convergent Expense Management allows you to
pay all your utilities, including electric, gas, water, and telephone from one consolidated, payables program. Recurring expenses are
monitored through our program to ensure accurate usage and cost reporting. The UtilitiesPLUS automated expense payables system receives each utility bill, audits the charges and processes each for payment. Billing errors, late fees, double payments and labor costs
to pay individual utility bills are all eliminated.
Regain Lost Costs.
UtilitiesPLUS can help recover the vacant unit energy costs typically
lost during new resident transfers. With our Vacant Unit Cost Recovery and “Charge-IT” program, charges that should be paid by new
residents are bundled with rent payment to assure high collections.
Sophisticated Reporting.
Readily assess utility usage and cost for improved forecasting
and budget planning with over 100 user definable reports. Our
sophisticated online, real-time reporting and analysis tools help you anticipate trends. Our robust reporting functionality offers search capabilities, including on-line access to scanned images of bills and invoices; and comparative analysis between properties and portfolios.
Professional Services.
As a UtilitiesPLUS client, we provide professional Energy Consultation and Expense Reduction services. Each utility bill is reviewed for
accuracy and scrutinized to identify overcharges or unnecessary
charges. Our rate and tariff review adds an additional “watch dog”
service ensuring you are receiving the best rate available from your
utility supplier. Analysis of current energy use patterns and
expenditures allow the most cost-effective procurement and site management practices.
