Questions & Answers
Q. What is a Measured Term Contract (MTC)?
A. MTCs involve contractors applying a variety of agreed
bonuses and discounts (contract variations) to their invoices. They use
an agreed price list called a Schedule of Rates (SOR). Schedules of Rates
and more information on MTCs are available in the UK from NSRM
Q. Who uses Measured Term Contracts?
A. Increasingly Local Authorities and Housing Associations
outsource the repairs and maintenance of their buildings to private contractors
under Measured Term Contracts. Q. Can you explain exactly how this system will save us
money?
A.InvoiceRight is like any high quality tool. It does the
job better, quicker and more reliably than other systems.
You save money from:
You make money by being able to handle more business, and by being able to charge a premium for your improved service. Q. Can it help us with our tendering process?
A. Yes. You can use reports such as the Service Schedule
Report to demonstrate to clients that you have everything under control.
You could also use the schedule builder to do 'What if Analysis' - setting
various prices and then seeing what your overall revenue and profit will
be
Q. Some clients change their prices during a contract. How
does InvoiceRight cope with that?
A. If the Schedule of Rates (SOR) is changed ‘across
the board’ an ‘Indices Rise’ can be applied to the contract
terms to vary the prices accordingly. However if prices are changed unevenly
new prices can be entered into the SOR with the date the new price comes
into effect.
Q. What are Contract Variations and how does InvoiceRight
work with them?
A. Contract Variations are different types of bonus and
discount that get applied to each invoice according to the terms of the
contract. For example a contractor may be paid a 50% bonus for attending
site within four hours, but have to give a discount of 10% if the job
is low priority and can be done during the next 20 working days.
The following table shows four different types of contract variation supported by InvoiceRight:
As each invoice is processed the variations that apply are determined automatically and added/subtracted from the total. Q. We already have a system. However if we wished to upgrade to InvoiceRight would we have to retype the existing Schedule of Rates and Property Register, or could that data be transferred somehow?
A. If your existing system can export its data then definitely yes. If not, it is still quite likely that we can read its data files and extract the data from them directly. Q. How much experience do you have in software development for MTC (Measured Term Contract) administration?
A. We started 12 years ago creating systems for Southwark
Council Building Services Dept. and they and other departments have been
using our systems ever since then. For the past 5 years we've been creating
systems for MTC contractors.
There's a lot of commonality between the two sides. For example: councils want to check invoices, contractors want to print them. The process of defining and calculating invoice details is much the same in both cases. Q. How much does InvoiceRight cost?
A. Prices vary according to the number of different contracts you need to administer and the number of users who need concurrent access. They start for a two contract, two-user system. Please contact us for current pricing details. |
