Flexible Ad Agency Software with Online Client Billing!

All ad agencies, pr agencies, creative agencies and other advertising organizations know the frustrations with billing your clients.  The paper trail can be lost, abused, and destroyed.  It makes everybody frustrated, especially your clients!

At The Advantage Software Company we have developed an Online Billing Solution within our software programs that can virtually eliminate costly and embarrassing mistakes and hassles when it comes to correctly billing your clients. 

We simply call this robust software feature, Client Billing.

Streamline the billing process and get a handle on income while you deliver custom invoice formats and statements to your clients electronically. Start with Online Billing Approval where project details are viewed and billing instructions are issued electronically!

The Billing Command Center provides a unique, single-source interface for viewing, analyzing, selecting, processing and delivering client billing. The entire billling process including reconcilation and job closing is streamlined and consolidated through this application.

Client Billing Key Features from our Advantage Software include:
  • Online Billing Approvals are a great alternative to the traditional paper trail created with production billing. Account executives play a larger role in the billing process by communicating with billers online as the first step in the billing process.
  • Billing Reports are available in dozens of formats where both production and media details may be analyzed in-depth before adjustments are made and invoices are processed. This same information is available in Online Billing Approvals!
  • Adjustments and Transfers are used to view Online Billing Approval details and make appropriate adjustments before billing is processed. These tools allow adjustments to client billing while maintaining job costs and a complete audit trail of transactions.
  • Easily transfer job time across companies, and hard costs across offices.
  • Advance Billing includes multiple income recognition and reconciliation options to completely automate that process and give complete control over the results. Job forecasts play a role in helping you determine percent complete and that monthly reconciliation figure.
  • Media is advance billed by default but may be post billed as an alternative. Media accrual and reconciliation is automatic! You'll be able to provide your clients with information about media purchases compared to actuals with variances.
  • Invoicing is as flexible as you can imagine with our standard and custom invoice options; provide the formats your clients demand without re-typing or manipulating them manually. View draft invoices first, then automatically email them in PDF format.
  • Statements of open receivables may be generated automatically and emailed to your clients with a single click.
