MadBMS

Premise:
MadBMS was developed in-house at Madgenius.com as an answer to the lack of billing/management software available, that works well with the ISP business model.

Official Line:
"MadBMS is a full featured client/billing system designed from the ground up to cater specifically to hosting providers. The softwares is a PHP script package which uses MySQL. Notable features include automated invoicing, client search, multiple customizable packages for clients and a client viewable real time invoice."

Broader Desription:
MadBMS is aimed at making web-based business easier to manage both for the employees and the clients. Its most prominent feature is the ability for clients of the business running it, to log in themselves and see a real time invoice of their account.
Logged in clients are also able to:

View Past and Current Invoices

Generate Billing Forecasts

Edit Their Own Contact Info

View a Log of Events that have affected their account such as received payments and package renewals

Make payments of invoices using paypal

 

 
 
 

All of this is meant to help billing run smoothly for both sides. On the business side of MadBMS the invoice production is fully automated.
Once a day a script runs that:

Creates Invoices and Notifies the Client of Them

Sends Overdue Notices

Updates Packages System-Wide

 

 
 
 

Admin Level users (access level >= 4) have the ability to

Add/Edit/Delete an Account

Manually Send Invoices at Anytime

Manually Update Packages for a Client or the Whole System at Anytime

Mark Received Payments

Create/Edit/Deactivate Packages

Credit an Account

Attach Notes to Invoices on Both the Client and System-Wide Levels

Generate System Statistics

Add/Remove an Event to a Client's Log

View Past and Present Packages

View a List of All Overdue Invoices Currently Outstanding

Handle User Management

 

 
 
 

Non-admin level users (access = 3) are allowed to log in and view client account info but may not modify it directly.

Over all MadBMS is meant to be as fluid, versatile and easily customizable as possible.
