Project Summary
Our project aims to solve a major problem that many college students and long-term roommates face on a weekly or monthly basis–why does paying the utility, cable and other service bills always have to be the responsibility of one person? Our project solves this issue by allowing users to load bills from any service provider into an easy-to-use interface, send split requests to roommates, friends or colleagues, and pay the bill together, on-time, every time. The app is also great for anyone looking to keep track of and schedule bills–so nothing goes unpaid. Simply link the utility account (cable, electric, gas, etc.) to the app and receive automatic updates and reminders of when bills are approaching and when they’re due. You can even choose to pay them automatically and receive a receipt notification directly on your smartphone.
Project Objectives

Application should integrate with phone calendar to allow user to schedule bill payments and be notified of upcoming payments due
Application should be able to scan receipts, glean relevant information, and integrate information into the bill-splitter
Application should be able to notify other users of split bills, how much is owed, when it is due
Application should interface directly with major billing companies (PECO, Comcast, etc.)
Users should be able to make payments directly through the app, and companies can charge late fees/overages through the app
