HITbills conducts auction for commodity suppliers in your area (electricity, gas, phone, Internet, TV, bank services and loans refinancing) with one-tap switch if you decide. Why money can be saved ? The secret of business is that due to global deregulation, there are plenty of cheaper providers (or cheaper banks), offering exactly the same product with lower margin. We talk about really big money (according to Forbes’s list of Top 1000 companies by revenue, commodity sector is the top – because everybody pays bills – Google ranks at #63, Facebook at #101). Average savings per household are 10-40% (depending on localization) – multiply it by 12, and imagine that you got 1000$ for extra holidays – it is what HITbills does. And there are 500+ millions households qualifying for reducing bills. Why money can be earned ? Moreover, HITbills gets commission for every switch – the money companies usually pay to their agents or for media advertising – and passes it to smartphone owner (holding %). So customer has double benefit – cheaper utilites + cashback. And, if you want to get some extra money, you can scan bills of your friends, neighbors, family– everyone saves, you earn. Millions of people use the homebills price comparison websites, but the process is too complicated for 60% of households. HITbills makes it simple - just scan bills with smartphone. How does it works ? Technically: the scanned bill goes through OCR , where anonymous usage data are being extracted: then supplier bid for the bill in real-time reverse auction: finally, the user gets savings . It consists of smartphone app + OCR system + comparison engine + affiliate network. All elements are popular, so this invention can be quickly launched to any market. Where it works ?
