PropertyBoss integrates with AMS Billing, an Inhabit solution that provides utility billing and expense recovery services for property management organizations. 


What Is AMS Utility Billing?

AMS helps property management organizations manage utility billing and recover utility expenses. Available AMS services and capabilities include:

  • Utility billing
  • Utility expense recovery
  • Invoice processing
  • Vacant unit cost recovery
  • Usage based billing
  • Smart metering solutions

AMS services can be tailored to each customer’s needs.


How Does AMS Work With PropertyBoss?

AMS integrates with PropertyBoss to support data synchronization and utility billing workflows. Through the integration, AMS posts utility charges directly into PropertyBoss.  


AMS  Billing vs. PropertyBoss Utility Billing

AMS Billing and PropertyBoss Utility Billing are separate solutions. AMS Billing is an Inhabit solution that integrates with PropertyBoss.


PropertyBoss also offers its own functionality for manually managing utility meters and related utility billing information. That functionality is separate from the AMS integration.


If you contact PropertyBoss Client Care with a utility billing question, let us know that you use AMS Billing so we can better understand which solution your question relates to.
