Here are just a few ways to AVOID UTILITY LATE FEES
and REDUCE your overall UTILITY EXPENSE.

SHRINK BILL PROCESSING
TIME TO 1.5 DAYS
With utility companies shortening the
payment cycle, processing invoices
fast enough to beat the clock and
avoid late fees is difficult. With a
proven, automated system, along
with proactive research on missing
invoices, RealPage processes bills in
around 1.5 days, reducing late fees
and shuts-offs.

GET THE DATA YOU
DON’T HAVE TIME TO FIND
No more spending hours searching
for last year’s utility invoices. RealPage
captures 100% of all the key data
presented on every utility bill so you
can easily access and review your
invoices from one location, 24/7.

REDUCE HANDLING TIME AND THE
HANDS THAT TOUCH YOUR BILLS
Whether your invoice payment process
starts with a property manager or is
centralized for review, the time spent
reviewing, coding, approving and paying
utility bills averages 5-11 days* and 76%
of that time is consumed by transactional
processing. An automated process will
image each invoice, extract 100% of the
relevant data, and code the charges
quicker and more accurately than
manual processing.

GET DEEPER INSIGHT INTO
YOUR UTILITY SPENDING
RealPage’s detailed tracking of utility
usage allows you to analyze meter
to meter, property to property and
even compare meter usage by
defined groups you set. This cost
and consumption intelligence can
reveal areas where you can make
your properties’ utilities more
efficient and save money.

FAST AND EASY UTILITY
THEFT RECOVERY
Utility theft happens, whether it’s
intentional or not, and the identification
of residents who failed to open or
maintain a utility account in their
names is automated with RealPage.
Every vacant unit utility invoice is
automatically checked against your
property’s rent roll—daily—to ensure
lease dates and utility service dates
match up. This allows us to identify
offending residents faster and charge
them for the utilities they used while
the bill was still in the property’s name.
