Billing & Accounting Management for Tolling
ETAN is changing the game when it comes to back office support for the tolling industry, and the name of the game is FASTLane–the Financial Accountability System for Tolling. FASTLane fills in the gaps left by legacy enterprise software offerings and piecemeal subcontracting solutions, to create the industry’s first end-to-end tolling solution.
Once a vehicle crosses the gantry, FASTLane follows that toll until payment is secured. If a transponder account has failed to replenish, or if the vehicle is not associated with an existing payment account, an invoice is sent notifying the driver that customer service is available by phone or online, and that easy payment options are available. In the event that the bill is not paid, collections efforts commence.
Every business process and every support service has been engineered for accuracy, efficiency and customer experience excellence. From messaging that is optimized to increase payments, to third-party violation collections that achieve optimal results, FASTLane offers a seamless, service-focused, billing program that removes the administrative complexity and expense of managing unpaid toll transactions.
Win-Win Solutions
ETAN’s advanced billing strategies are designed to expedite the payment process for the both the customer and for the toll authority. We ensure that all billing language and consumer-facing information is optimized for clarity and ease-of-use. Robust self-service options are offered from both the IVR and website, and live-agent availability extends into evening and weekends for customer convenience.
