1. Tenant Billing, Submetering, and After Hours Control
TenantEye
Slide 1:
1. My name is Aaron Hansen
2. I'm the Chief Software Architect at CSI3
3. We are a new company and we develop drivers and applications for Niagara
AX platform.
4. Today I'd like to demonstrate our tenant billing and submetering
application called TenantEye
Slide 2: Features
In a nutshell Tenanteye:
1. Is a browser based application
2. You can have an unlimited number of uniquely configured suites,
meaning each suite can have a different set of meters
3. There is an extensive palette of meters.
4. There are many invoicing options
5. There is also a simple web interface that has been optimized for
smartphones
6. And it works with any Niagara AX brand.
7. In fact I know of two jobs where it is installed
on Johnson Fx40's, I think both are two between 10 and 15 suites.
So it is isn't a resource hog either.
Slide 3: Browser based
1. TenantEye is a browser based application.
2. It uses embedded workbench and for the most part is a stand alone
application,
3. HOWEVER an external link can be added to the toolbar so users can
navigate out of TenantEye if integration with other graphics is desired.
4. From the browser, property managers can
- change tenants
- add, edit and remove users
- configure meters such as names, units and rates
- and create and edit invoices
5. There are two types of tenants
- Tenant Managers
- can edit billing information
- add and edits users in their suite
- view invoices
- There are also non-managorial tenants who along with managers
can schedule overrides ** if you have schedulable meters.
Slide 4: Unlimited Number of suites
1. The application is licensed by the number of suites. There is no
limit to the number of suites other than hardware constraints.
2. This image shows the property managers view of three suites. Each of these
suites and has a variable number of different meters.
Slide 5: Extensive metering capabilities
0. We offer many metering options
1. There are meters with boolean inputs
2. others with numeric inputs
3. and even more are schedulable
4. Some meters are fixed rate, others use a Niagara Numeric schedule for
complex rate schedules.
5. And there are many combinations of these types
6. For example
- there a meter that can only be scheduled
- there is another meter that has a numeric input and it is scheduled so
you could charge for kwh consumption only during the override
- And there are two permuations of that: fixed rate and rate scheduled
7. I should add that meters are what needs to be pasted and linked up with
workbench.
8. Property managers can change tenants in suites. But if the space
is reconfigured the SI will need to come and relink the meters.
9. All the meters have a boolean output that when the meter is in a
billable state, the output is true for equipment control.
Slide 6: Invoicing Options
1. There are a variety of invoicing options
2. Invoices can be manually generated, or they can be put on an
automatic schedule and mailed to multiple recipients.
3. Property managers can customize subject and body text
4. And they can add text to the invoice, such as payment terms and misc notes
5. There are three fee lines and the description of each fee is free form
so there are really many more ways for owners to recoup operational costs
6. And finally there is also a minimum invoice option.
7. All of these configurable by the owner or property manager through the
browser.
Slide 7: Invoice
1. The invoice itself can be viewed as shown in the browser. The white
area is what gets converted to a PDF document by either ing, or
clicking the export button there on the bottom toolbar.
2. The invoice basically shows a rollup for each meter for the billing
period and currently there can be up to 16 meters on the invoice.
Believe it or not there is customer with 18 meters in one suite,
they are so happy they don't care if two aren't showing.
3. Also, with the ed invoice is a csv document containing all of the
individual charges. On the screen shown, you could scroll down to see
that table and manually export it as well.
Slide 8: Smart Phone Interface
1. There is a smart phone interface.
2. What this is, is a lightweight web interface designed for a small
screen such as a pda or mobile phone.
3. This is important since many users expect a phone-in option. However, the
cost of adding a voice feature would be high and if you're familiar
with other tbs applications you know how expensive they can be.
This is a viable alternative that allows you to offer offer a better bid
because pricing on this product is very competitive.
Slide 9: Future enhancements
1. For the future our goal is to allow invoice customization by the
the SI. We really want to show all 18 meters for that customer, ** they
uh, have many more properties...
2. We are also planning an enterprise scale version that would
allow multiple properties to be managed from a single survey and offer
more advanced invoicing features such as integration with
enterprise applications and the ability to disable delinquint accounts.
Slide 10: Conclusion
1. TenantEye, and all of our products, can be run in timed trial mode.
Entire applications can be safely built in this mode and once you know
exactly what you need, in this case the number of suites, you can order
the appropriate license from your distributor.
2. You can find the distributor in your area by visiting our website at at
3. Or sending an to where we can answer questions
and direct you to the appropriate distributor.
4. We have a training presentation for this product and are always
available to give it and help you quickly engineer your job.
5. Thank you for your time, and thanks to Tridium for this opportunity.
We hope you'll come visit our booth at the Niagara Summit for some
cool schwag and hopefully some cool new products too.
