Manage Seasons

When a new season starts you can create a new season to keep your billing separate from a previous period. This helps maintain separation for tax purposes. Easily see how your seasons compare.

Setup Services

Services are things that you do for your customers. This could be Plow a Driveway, Mow a Lawn, Clean a Pool, or some other seasonal oriented service. You set default prices for each service but can override them for specific customers. Services can be ‘Trip’, ‘Contract’ or ‘Hourly’ based. Additionally, you can capture material charges.

Add Customers & Set Pricing

You can quickly setup your customers within mBillRunner. Provide a name, email, phone and service/billing addresses. mBillRunner translates addresses to GPS coordinates to enable you to map customer locations. Once customer are added, you can set prices for each of the services that you provide.

Acknowledge Jobs

When you perform a service for a customer, it’s called a job. Simply pick the service you performed and enter any additional details. If you are at the customer’s job location when you acknowledge the job, mBillRunner locates the customer record based on GPS coordinates to simply the job creation process.

Run Billing

There are two types of billing mode. Contract for those customer on contract billing and standard for pay-per-job customers. You pick when you want to run billing and mBillRunner selects all jobs for the billing period and creates invoices for you. You then select each invoice and either message or email to your customer.

Add Payments

When customer pay, you can acknowledge the receipt of payment to update the customer outstanding balance.

A Service-Oriented businesses is one in which your work and revenue is primarily based on your own labor or labor from a small team of employees. These businesses typically have a defined season of operation that is less than 1 year. Seasons repeat each year but are separate from a financial basis.

You setup services with default pricing. Each season, you associate your services with customers and override the default pricing based on the size and scope of the work.

You can charge your customers in 1 of 3 ways:

• Trip Based – each time you show up to do work, you bill your customer a fixed rate.
• Contract Based – you charge your customer a fixed amount for unlimited “trips” or instances of your services for the season. 
• Hourly Based – your customer is charged an hourly bill rate multiplied by a variable number of hours that it takes for each service.

As part of service delivery, you can optionally charge for additional items:

• Materials –These are free-form, line item level charges.  An example might be a “hourly” based spring cleanup service in which you put down new mulch bedding.  Here you would add a line item called “mulch” with the cost you wish to charge the customer.
• Products – These are like materials, but they are a set of products and pricing defined upfront. An example here would be a “firewood business” in which your service is a “trip” based delivery of firewood, but you need to charge for the firewood as well.  You may have several sizes of firewood each with a different price.
