It is difficult and redundant to gather the information for Emergency Response Services (ERS)
billing and Occupancy/Fire Prevention billing (Inspections, Permits, False Alarms and other miscellaneous
billings). Billing for items from your Incident or Occupancy data should be integrated so that
no additional effort is needed to glean "billable activities" from the normal everyday
activities being done by your personnel.
Using Integrated Billing with Trusted Analytics automates both ERS and Occupancy/Fire Prevention billing.
Integrated Billing automates the billing process by sensing which items are billable and then
forwarding them for billing. Occupancy bills and payments can be stored back into FireRMS to
complete the circle. Use Integrated Billing to streamline your billing processes and to
significantly increase revenue & lower costs.
