Elite® eBillingHub: A Fully Integrated eBilling Solution

Professional services firm clients require ebilling because it helps them reduce payment processing costs and achieve greater control over outside spending on services. Each client's unique requirements create overhead for the firm's billing and IT departments. Inadequate integration with financial management applications makes automated validation and tracking of payment status difficult. Firms are faced with increased staff workloads, billing backlogs and invoicing, and payment delays that directly impact cash flow.

Elite eBillingHub provides legal and professional services firms with a Web-based ebilling solution that is predictable, dependable and efficient. eBillingHub integrates seamlessly with Elite® Billing Manager and third-party spend management vendors to manage critical aspects of the ebilling process in a much more efficient and simpler way than the manual steps most firms endure today.

Billing departments can validate, deliver and track the status of all their ebills from a single, easy-to-use Web portal. Powerful prebill validation capabilities eliminate errors before invoices are actually submitted, resulting in faster billing cycles. Custom invoice formats can be prepared and firms can easily track real-time status. By streamlining and reducing the complexity of the process, eBillingHub accelerates billing and collections resulting in improved firm cash flow, enhanced client service and lowered or deferred staffing expenses.
