2020 R3 Release Notes

December 21, 2020

Hot on the heels of our 2020 R2 release comes R3!

We are proud and excited to announce the 2020 R3 release!

Due to overwhelming demand the decision was made to primarily focus 2020 R3 on completing Naverisk’s PSA billing automation capabilities.

(Note: Naverisk 2021 R1 will, in turn, be primarily focused RMM updates and improvements).

With the introduction of an Invoicing Report, Service Catalogue and a Recurring Service Agreement, Naverisk now offers a complete MSP billing automation platform for not only MSP services, but 3rd party products as well (such as M365, or managed AV).

MSP billing agreements now supported:

  • AYCE User
  • AYCE Device
  • Block Time
  • Term
  • Time and Materials
  • Recurring Service (new)

We have a large number of MSP partners running PSA tools integrated with Naverisk. The completion of our MSP billing automation capabilities will allow these partners to realize the cost savings and efficiencies of running a single all-in-one RMM, Service Desk and PSA platform.

Service catalogue

Addition of a master catalogue of all services supplied by your MSP business. Use these services in recurring agreements to automate billing for such. Each service will have the following attributes:

  • Service name
  • Service description
  • Type – five options: Hardware, Software, SaaS, HaaS or IT Service
  • Vendor – Customizable list of suppliers (see Settings section)
  • Buy price – cost of service (used to calculate agreement profitability)
  • Payment term – Frequency of payment to vendor (used to calculate agreement profitability).

New agreement – recurring service

Ability to automate invoicing for recurring services (e.g. fixed fee services, 3rd party services, M365 licenses, etc). Including auto calculation of profitability on a per agreement basis. Note that recurring service agreements can only be associated to one type of service.

Ticket and note billing statuses, queues & workflows

Introduction of ticket and note billing statuses and ticket billing queues. Easily review, update and approve billable time or expense notes in tickets. Tickets listed in the billing queue will automatically clear as billable notes are invoiced in Xero, QuickBooks or marked as invoiced in Naverisk.

Note billing statuses, set manually, as follows:

  1. Billable or Non-Billable
  2. Ready to Invoice or Not Ready to Invoice
  3. Invoiced or Not Invoiced

Ticket billing statuses are automatically set by note billing statuses, as follows:

  1. Non-billable – ticket only includes non-billable notes
  2. Reviewable – ticket includes billable notes which have not been set as ready to invoice
  3. Ready to invoice – ticket includes billable notes which have all been set to ready to invoice
  4. Partially invoiced – ticket includes a mix of already invoiced billable notes and billable notes marked as ready to invoice
  5. Invoiced – ticket includes billable notes which have all been invoiced

Tickets marked as non-billable, or invoiced, will not show in the new billing queue.

Invoice report

Consolidate all your client agreements into one invoice report view for export into Xero or Quickbooks, via existing integrations.
