It does the PM stuff...it's just a learned method on their system.  I'm
actually very happy with the initials of this product, it texts the
customers when the installer/tech is on the way, it tells them who to
expect with a picture.  They are able to communicate and see where the tech
is and how long it will take him to get there... While not a billing
solution/system at all by any means, it has some nice features.

Regards,
Chuck
