Accessing Database Information

How will my CSR’s access the subscriber information?

CSR’s can reach the subscriber data screen many ways, depending on what information is available: from the subscriber’s full or partial name, spouses name, address, telephone number, account number, tag number, inventory item s/n, credit card number, drivers license or other ID’s, even from a special billing name or address. If a unique match is not found, the System will display a screen, listing all subscribers, beginning with the name entered. The correct name can then be selected from the screen if in fact the person is already a subscriber.

What information about the subscriber is shown on the main subscriber inquiry screen?

The Subscriber Inquiry Screen contains information pertaining to the subscriber’s name and address, home and business phone number, charge day, last rental date, last invoice date and amount, last payment date, the current balance, monthly rental charge the Division, the Community, billing code, first date on the system, current start date, last work order and service call number and date as well as all the services the subscriber is currently receiving.

To what level does the system automate procedures?

No other SMS vendor in the world offers a system as automated as the RR System. Without any human intervention, the RR System automatically self balances every evening, the only SMS system in the world that can claim this ability. Additionally, the System will automatically process the following: End of Day, Automatic Processing of Pac’s, Posts Cash and Journal Vouchers, Charging, Invoicing, Accounting Reports, Late Charges, Scheduling of Work Orders, Automatic faxing of Work Orders, Marketing Letters and Interfacing with your General Ledger. There is no need for a dedicated computer operator to oversee our system, as the built-in automation is unsurpassed in the world. All that is required is for a back-up DVD or tape to be inserted each evening.

Will the system accommodate Automatic Number Identification?

A telephone system interface allows the use of ANI (Automatic Number Identification, Caller ID), to automatically bring the subscriber’s information to the screen on the CSR’s terminal, when the subscriber calls from their home or business number. This assumes your telephone company offers this functionality. Additional hardware is required for this feature.
