HOW IT WORKS

The Cycle

Eight steps, one monthly loop. Scroll to follow one month end to end — from provider bill to closed ledger.

1
STEP 1 / 8 — INGEST

Bills

Provider bills arrive and are captured for every property — water, sewer, gas, and electric, keyed line by line. No chasing statements.

2
STEP 2 / 8 — INGEST

Reads

Submeters are read nationwide, unit by unit. Where meters aren't installed, RUBS calculations run in their place.

3
STEP 3 / 8 — INGEST

Rent Roll

Bed occupancy syncs straight from your property-management software — move-ins, move-outs, and vacants, current as of today, at 4 students per unit.

4
STEP 4 / 8 — APPROVE

Prebill

Bills, reads, and rent roll merge into one prebill. Every charge is audited against rates and regulations before anything proceeds.

5
STEP 5 / 8 — APPROVE

Generate

Resident charges are generated — one combined statement per unit, with utilities and fees on a single, transparent bill.

6
STEP 6 / 8 — DELIVER

Mail

Statements are delivered electronically first — email and e-bill with fast pay links — with paper as a fallback where needed.

7
STEP 7 / 8 — DELIVER

Post

Charges post back to your ledger automatically — Rent Manager, AppFolio, Buildium, Entrata, Yardi, and more.

8
STEP 8 / 8 — CLOSE

Close

The month closes out and billing is locked in. The next cycle starts the following month.
