i-Account & i-Neighbour Integration Guide

i-Account & i-Neighbour Integration Guide

Introduction
i-Neighbour and i-Account are two separate applications, but the integration between these two systems enables certain debtor information such as billing and payment to be synchronised.


After you generate residents' invoices, receipts and statements in i-Account, you can upload these to i-Neighbour > E-Billing module. Residents can then login to the i-Neighbour app > E-Billing to check latest account balances and download their invoices, receipts and statements. Furthermore, if there is a subscription to payment gateway services, residents can also pay their bills through the app and the system will auto-generate receipts in i-Account.

Below is the summary table for the documents that have integration between i-Neighbour and i-Account.
