i-Account & i-Neighbour Integration Guide

Tuesday, June 22, 2021 TimeTec 0 Comments



 
Introduction
i-Neighbour and i-Account are two different systems, but all the information of these two systems is developed to synchronise. One of the crucial features for the owner/resident is the i-Neighbour e-Billing. This feature in the i-Neighbour Smart Community System aims to assist the Management and the Residents of the neighbourhood to manage their invoices or any payments. 

With e-Billing, the Management issues all the billings using i-Account and upload them into i-Neighbour for the residents/owners to view their invoices, statements and receipts. This feature enables the Management to provide invoices to the residents without snail-mailing them, and residents can likewise pay their fees through the smartphone.
Below is the summary table for the documents that have integration between i-Neighbour and i-Account.
