Try it, You'll never look back!

5,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: Our relationship with El Dorado has been a true friendship. Not just a vendor customer relationship. We honestly feel like they are part of our team, working towards our goals. They just feel like family.

Vorteile:

The ease of which it integrates our daily workflow. From billing customers to receiving payments of all kinds. We recently started our AMR program with Itron. El Dorado stepped up and had us running in minutes. The technical support during the transition was above reproach.

Nachteile:

As a user for over 10 years now, we really don't miss much. Anytime we have found something we think we might like, one call and it's usually implemented very shortly. It's almost like having your own IT department!

Water utility software

Kommentare: A few learning curves, support assisted with walkthrough and troubleshooting set up. Very professional from sales to install and building accounts.

Vorteile:

Very excellent customer service and sales. The software has learning curves, as with all software. Has all modern features, billing, water meter recording, link with tablet nice feature.

Nachteile:

Tablet app should have an auto-transfer feature vs transferring the file.

Hi Michael - Thanks for your feedback. We are expanding the feature / functionality of our EasyReader mobile add and will be enhancing it to add a auto file transfer function, picture taking, GPS mapping and driving directions to the service address. Our sales team will reach out to review it with you.

Poor software developers

1,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: I would say as soon as we can we are leaving the software. They are cost-effective vs. the competition - but you get what you pay for and their programming team is lacking. There also fees every time you turn around for things that should be pretty standard.

Vorteile:

The system, at its most basic, is simple for users. However, when an admin asks for updates they are in over their head. They make a lot of assumptions that create problems. Actually, the best part of this software is the payment processing partner - Invoice Cloud is great.

Nachteile:

Be very clear about your database assumptions. Again they will make recommendations that could cause downstream problems. Also, you want to make certain the features are functional. We bought based on features that have not yet been released and they have no date for release. Their reporting is limited. They represent it is really user-friendly - you will find if you know data it is highly restrictive. Also their cloud-based solution is not cloud-based it downloads information to hard drives and restricts features for more than one users - again an example of poor development.

Sara, we always appreciate customer feedback and as long as your a customer we will support you.

Utility Billing Software that is easy to use at a very reasonable price

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: One of the features of this newer version, allows us to print a bill for people that have a credit balance. That was not possible before, and we have several customers who now pay a large amount on their account once or twice a year, and they can receive a bill each month showing how much of the credit was used and how much they have left. The customers love it! There are other features they have added which make this software a real bargain! Our experience has been awesome.

Vorteile:

What initially attracted me to the software in 2007 was the price. We are a very small Village and could not afford software costing thousands of dollars. Once the features were explained and how to use them, the learning curve was very easy to accomplish.

Nachteile:

I feel that the Help Manual for the software could use a LOT of work. I had to figure out myself how to use the newest version before I could show my co-worker how to use it. I typed out instructions for her, including each specific step, until she was able to master using it without my instructions in hand.

Antwort von Creative Technologies

vor 2 Jahren

Thank you, Fran for the review. Our goal is to provide an easy-to-use software application that is affordable for small to mid-size utility billers. We seem to have hit the mark with your needs. Also, regarding the help manual we are constantly updating it and have added many new use documents with pictures included to make it more functional. We are even doing video recordings, so all aspects of the system are documented. Please let us know how we can help.

Kommentare: Now that I am familiar with the system I can run the program well. However, as an administrator, if anything were to happen we would have to pay to get a new person trained. There are other billing systems out there that do not require constant upgrades to keep the system at peek performance. I have to pay for that privilege and pay for upgrades as well as support.

Vorteile:

The options, however If I want to use them I have to upgrade after paying thousands to begin with.

Nachteile:

That I have to pay an annual fee for help. That I had no training when I first began, I have to pay extra for some of the features that were believed to be included.

Gwen we appreciate your feedback and comments. I am sure you can understand the world of technology is constantly evolving and we do everything possible to keep our software up to date with the latest security patches and feature updates. We try everything we can do to keep our cost low and competitive. Unfortunately, we have to pass on the costs for our support staff, product enhancements and security updates to our customers. The benefit is you have a system that is supported with a first class team of professionals, you have a reliable, easy to use and fully functional billing system. We will certainly be glad to train you and your staff on the operation of the software so you can rest assure we are here to help. I will have someone from our customer service team reach out to you.

Streamlined Utility Billing

5,0 vor 3 Jahren

Kommentare: From 1st contact with Peggy to the customer service help I get from [SENSITIVE CONTENT] I couldn't be happier. Everyone I dealt with at the company has been efficient, timely and very helpful.

Vorteile:

We were reading the meters, recording by hand in a notebook, calculating different tiers and charges by hand each month for 162 homes. The process took 2.5 days. With El Dorado Utility Billing we now accomplish the process in less than one day. From reading the meters, entering into a hand-held device, transferring from device to computer, billing and creating invoices. Used to dread the electric billing cycle, now it is just another day.

Nachteile:

There really isn't anything I don't like about the software or the company. They took the time to customize the software to fit our situation and have always been quick to respond when I needed assistance.

My experience with the software has been good; however I would love to see some improvements.

4,0 vor 7 Jahren

Vorteile:

The system pretty much does what we need it to do , but would like to see some new enhancements. The software is ok.

Nachteile:

1) Currently changes that are made to a profile is not logged; I would like a log of some kind that would tell me who made a change to a particular field in the system for a particular customer profile. 2) I would love to see misc. adjustment post that can be issued to specific lines items; currently for example let's say I want to give a customer a credit to water or Sewer which is in fields A or B the system won't allow; credit that customers can actually see. 3) We would love for customers to see both Full statements along with shut/past due notices on invoice cloud or mirror the statement in IC format with info and lines on El Dorado statements. 4) Or at least add the notes that we add to the statement; We would like it to mirror the fields that appear on the paper statement. If these changes are not coming soon; I would like to get pricing on implementing them or if they are implemented and we are not aware; if someone could let me know.

Go for the full gammit

5,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: Human error is the #1 problem in utility billing. Whether it be from the meter reader or the data entry person mistakes happen; By utilizing Easy Reader and allowing it to interface with v10 those errors are almost completely gone.

Vorteile:

The reporting of v10 is so much better than v9. The ability to communicate with add on software is great. Having a portal where employees can make payments online is a great way to adjust to the COVID curve. By utilizing the portal, I am able to save $500 monthly in credit card fees as the customer now pays the convenience fee.

Nachteile:

I would like to scroll through account manager.

Kommentare: See the above comments I made I think that pretty well sums it all up. Overall it's a good system!

Vorteile:

Payroll I use every 2 weeks and its very user friendly I've never had any trouble entering the data with the ease of the time frame needed and accuracy.

Nachteile:

The manual ugh! To me its very hard to understand. It leaves out the important steps that have to be taken to complete the task. It's vague to the details that your supposed to understand. I had 1 month of training on El Dorado before being left to do all the duties involved in my daily job. I found it easier to make my own manual with the steps I took to complete the task. I'm still making some revisions to my notes so that when and if I'm not elected to this position in April of this year, the person coming in will at least have my manual to follow so it should be easier for them from the start.

Customer Review

4,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: Overall my experience with El Dorado has been positive. Exceptional Customer support is greatly appreciated!

Vorteile:

The features that are most impactful are the billing components and how they integrate with our Meter software. Accurate information is now provided to our Customers and no more manual calculation of water usage is necessary. The cost factor for our small Water District was compelling. Customer service is outstanding, professional and responses are timely.

Nachteile:

EDS does not integrate well with a Mac platform, so it requires a PC to use it. It is not a cloud-based platform so installation of the software must be onto a dedicated computer. Statement templates are not easily editable without contacting support.

Antwort von Creative Technologies

vor 2 Jahren

Thank you for your positive feedback Elizabeth. As you mention El Dorado is a highly reliable billing system, the support staff is committed to our customers success. As for supporting the Mac we are releasing a browser based version that will support Mac in the next 60 days.

Good software at a good price

4,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: After installation was completed everything has been running well. I felt like some charges weren't discussed before the purchase, specifically regarding online pay. Granted, I didn't ask these questions until after the purchase but it would have been better to be presented with this information before purchase. Overall the cost is great, we halved our annual support services costs and it enables us to do ACH payments without any charge from El Dorado.

Vorteile:

The cost was much lower than our current software and lower than other options we were looking at.

Nachteile:

Customer service with setting it up was difficult. Our small town has one employee and works mornings only four days a week. The time zone difference between central and pacific left only a short time frame to troubleshoot issues with installation. It seems like the only had one person dedicated to setting it up so if she was busy we had to wait.

Jim - Thanks for the feedback we certainly try to give the best value for the money and it seems like you shopped around and found our pricing model to be spot on. I am glad your taking advantage of our online customer portal to process ACH and CC payments. We find this is a #1 driver of new technology upgrades.

Vorteile:

FAst.Alot of options for customer classification. A good glossary. I like the customer search feature. Rate table calculator.

Nachteile:

I miss the build your own report that the old version had. There is alot of options that most small utilities will never use. If the program could be bought like a shopping cart and add the options you want and have a price on each feature.. now that would awesome. The HP hand held could have a little better support. Program needs a "no charge" option for accounts that are not billed.
