What it is
Utilmate is a cloud utility billing and customer management service for providers of electricity, gas, hot and cold water, solar, internet and data, and shared services. Its web platform includes invoicing, payments, customer records, automated collections, accounts receivable, reporting, and exception dashboards. A customer portal lets users manage accounts, pay bills, arrange direct debits, move in or out, and view usage. Meter readers and field agents can enter readings and notes on smartphones or tablets; additional meter-read charges may apply. Listed integrations include Xero, Buildium, Ezidebit, GoCardless, Square, Stratapay, Stripe, Bing Mail, and Zendesk Support. Xero imports bank-account payments into customer records and posts sales journals. Buildium processes utility bills for consolidated resident billing. Starter, Pro, and Premium plans bill monthly with prices on request. The 60-day trial includes all features without payment information; trial data is deleted if no subscription follows.
