Itineris Completes Integration of the ONLINE Utility Exchange
Atlanta, GA – Itineris announced today the successful integration of UMAX, our modern, highly configurable CIS & CRM solution, to the ONLINE Utility Exchange, a premier bad-debt elimination tool. This integration was developed in conjunction with Lansing Board of Water and Light (BWL) and will allow UMAX users to eliminate bad debt during the application process.
Through its partnership with ONLINE, Itineris now offers an integrated real-time credit risk assessment and Red Flag compliance tool to their users. The ONLINE Utility Exchange will utilize application data entered in UMAX to verify the applicant’s identity, return an accurate deposit amount according to the Utility’s policies, and highlight unpaid utility bills and disconnects from ONLINE’s unique national Utility Exchange database and other national sources.
Data export capabilities within UMAX will allow customers to send payment information to ONLINE automatically, helping to track customers who do not pay their bills from utility to utility through ONLINE’s national Utility Exchange database. Benefits of this enhancement include timeliness of reporting and secure data transmission.
