Understanding Your Invoice-Classic Encompass

The J. J. Keller® Encompass® Suite is billed on a monthly basis.  There are two methods of being billed:

1. By Invoice where a bill is sent and then paid by a given due date.

2. Auto-pay with a Credit Card which is entered in Encompass.

  

 

The bill is determined by the data that is housed in Encompass along with any other services provided.  On approximately the same day each month (based on when your company began service), a 'snapshot' will be taken of the data in your Encompass® account to determine the amounts for each line item that applies. Monthly billing starts 30 days after the start of your contract.

 

The image to the right depicts an example of a bill.

3. Invoice Total

 

 

Address:  There are two addresses listed towards the top of the bill: Bill to and Ship to address.  The Ship To address is the location in which the services are used. The Bill To address is the location that pays the bill.  For companies that operate out of a single location, these addresses are likely going to be the same.  For larger companies that have drivers operating out of multiple locations, these addresses may differ.

 

Line Items:  The Encompass bill is broken down into 3 basic items: Employees, Units, and Ad-Hoc Services. 

Employees: Employees are billed based on their driver profile.  There are 5 separate driver profiles, however, both of the premium profiles are billed at the same rate, so there are a maximum of 4 line items for drivers: Essential Driver, Advanced Driver, Premium Driver, and Platinum Driver.  The driver fee includes monthly hardware fees if using dash cams or ELDs.  Additionally, there is no line item for Applicants or Terminated Employees.

 

Drivers that have an inactive date are also billed. To view all billable drivers, when viewing 'All Active Employees' in the Employees tab, change the view drop-down to 'All Employees' and click 'Go'.

 

Units: Simply put, if a unit is added in Encompass, you will be billed for it.  Powered Units (vehicles) and Towed Units (trailers) are separate line items; however, they are billed at the same rate. There is no line item for disposed units.

 

Ad-Hoc: These ad-hoc items would include additional services purchased that are offered in conjunction with Encompass® Services.  These could include but are not limited to:

• Billable Items	Description	When Billed
  Implementation Training	Webinars or Guided training by one of our Implementation Associates	Can be at time of sign-up or after training has been completed
  Hardware	Hardware fees could include ELD, Tablet, DashCam, Vehicle Tracker, Harnesses, Mounts, Accessories.	At time of order
  Compliance Tablet	Monthly Data Plan per device	Monthly
  ALK Co-Pilot License	Monthly License for mapping add on feature.	Monthly
  Third-Party Administrators	TPA Consortium for Drug & Alcohol Testing	Monthly
  PSP Services	Background Check service	Monthly based on reports ran
  Vehicle Tracking	Monthly Data Plan per device	Monthly
  Video Service	Video plan service levels with monthly data plan	Monthly

 

Invoice Total:  The quantity of each item billed, multiplied by it's unit net price provides each line item's total price.  Combining each of those line item costs together and adding any applicable taxes (based on the ship-to address) results in the bill's final total.
