DURABILL

DURABILL is St Clements’ DUoS billing system designed for operation within the GB Electricity market.

The system incorporates an accurate and reliable charges calculation engine with an electronic invoice generator which is compliant with all of the GB industry requirements

In addition the system includes a full-strength file handling and data management sub-system compliant with the current industry standard Data Transfer Catalogue and future Data Integration Platform.

The system is suitable for both Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) and Independent Distribution Network Operators (IDNOs) and is equally at home producing 1 or 20,000 bills.

At its heart is a file handling management system that allows complete control over incoming data flows. The product also includes a sophisticated queue manager (allowing maximum performance to be maintained whatever the load on the system) and a fully automated audit trail.
