Revolutionary Java Based - Plus Web Data Sharing Billing & Revenue Management Software Print E-mail
Written by Fineline Services, Inc.   
Thursday, 13 March 2008

Unparalleled in the industry; Fineline Services announces the next generation software that is Intuitive, economically affordable, easy to use, easy to access and powerful...

Excelsior, MN March, 2008 - Fineline Services, Inc. – “No longer do you have to manipulate old invoices, use Excel or edit database files to invoice your customers for support fees, maintenance fees or other timed billings. The cutting edge management solution is finally here for software developers, Vars, and software marketers”, says Dennis Davis, President of Fineline. Support Fee Management provides features that, records renewal dates, tracks attrition rates, evaluates revenue, creates reports and invoices monthly, quarterly, etc.
 
"After years of selling software to the small Cities, Towns and Villages for their billing needs, we realized that in using standard accounting programs for billing support fees to our clients just did not work very well. We would have to manipulate old invoices and merge excel files to manage the growing number of clients and support fee structure. This would take hours in some billing periods just to gather the information.   We found it especially difficult to adjust additional fees to the customer’s current payment schedule.  If a customer purchased additional modules and need to have the support prorate to the normally scheduled support date, it could be very complicated. Many times support fee revenue was lost or not scheduled for renewal in the typical accounting system", said Davis. 

Davis goes on to say, "In Creating “Support Fee Management” software, we wanted to take the drudgery, frustration and mistakes out of support invoicing, tracking, and management.  We wanted real world reports that doesn’t create more questions but give you answers.  The program provides reports that you could not find in other financial packages.  The real benefit is in the renewal invoices, proration of fees and automatic scheduling of renewals and being able to forecast income and revenues".

Financial
Support Fee Management Software (SFMS) will let you know who is paying support and who is not and why not! Each month SFMS will generate renewal fee invoices for your approval for printing or emailing. SFMS will enable you to know the financial position of your company at any time period or future time period in less than a minute.

Reports
Support Fee Management from Fineline Services, Inc. has reports not found in other software packages, attrition report, unearned revenues, fee comparisons, lost business report and many more.  These are the reports that you would spend an extensive amount of time exporting, importing and manipulating data; where in Support Fee Management you can have your report in 30 seconds. Reports are real-time and provide detailed data to help evaluate and forecast trends and revenues. Reports are PDF format and can be printed, saved and emailed. Report criteria can be saved for future report comparisons.

Forecast/ Evaluation
FinelineServices says; "The forecasting / evaluation of your business is essential. Using the “What If?” scenario you can forecast the effect on your renewal income over a given period of time, even if there is a down turn in sales. SFMS can answer the question “If sales are +/- 6% over the next 5 years and we increase the maintenance fees by 8%, what will the effect for the company financially?”  We provide the tools to know when there is a problem or trend that will affect your business. With Support Fee Management you can track your objectives in revenues and control your fees for support or other services. It is much better to know if there is a crisis and quickly solve the problem, than find out too late".

Interface
Support Fee Management will import data from Excel or delimited files for quick installation and setup. SFMS will export files to interface with accounting systems like QuickBooks or other Software.  Support Fee Management software can also be a stand alone product that has remarkable built in capabilities for many financial reports like Aged Balances and more.
