Utilities are the third LARGEST EXPENSE for a

PROPERTY after salaries and taxes, and LATE FEES can

be a huge CONTRIBUTOR. But they don’t have to be.

Here are just a few ways to AVOID UTILITY LATE FEES

and REDUCE your overall UTILITY EXPENSE.

SHRINK BILL PROCESSING TIME TO 1.5 DAYSWith utility companies shortening the

payment cycle, processing invoices

fast enough to beat the clock and

avoid late fees is di�cult. 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-o�s.

GET THE DATA YOU DON’T HAVE TIME TO FINDNo 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 BILLSWhether 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 SPENDINGRealPage’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

e�cient and save money.

FAST AND EASY UTILITY THEFT RECOVERYUtility 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

o�ending residents faster and charge

them for the utilities they used while

the bill was still in the property’s name.
