Billing & Rating

Our total branding capability extends to billing, where Distributors and Resellers can produce multiple invoice and report templates for use within the single bill run process. Not only can custom tariff tables be used but the branding of the invoice will reflect that of the partner. For Distributors this overcomes a significant hurdle in offering true white labelling for their channel. Importantly this will also reflect the different package and service creation at each Distributor and Reseller level.

SaaS based models are here to stay so the channel needs to embrace this and understand how total 100% automation is the way to simplify their whole billing process. The idea of setting time aside to do bill runs is obsolete. Resellers need bills emailed out with detailed reporting and analytics online for the customer. This not only saves time but ensures 100% billing accuracy.

The importance of single entry is not only time efficiency but precision. By integrating service provisioning with billing we ensure 100% accuracy, not just of the customer bill but in ensuring that you are billing for all services you are reselling. The billing engine itself invoices for the 1st of the month, or whichever date is required, and is totally automated. Uboss emails the PDF invoices and invoice reports to customers. This puts you on the front foot and changes billing from being a reactive “after the event” admin exercise.

Uboss allows billing not just of the resellers own or ancillary third party SDR services, but automated CDR import and billing with our FTP Puller. This allows CDR’s to be imported as often as the third party platform makes them available and provides billing automation for partners that are routing their minutes through a third party carrier.

The big trend in UC is mashups between different applications and platforms. So the question is not so much “Can I bill SaaS now” but “What is SaaS going to look like in future and will I have the capability to bill then?”. That is the real power of Uboss, as a totally open/API driven platform it absolutely addresses the complex cloud billing scenarios of tomorrow.

Uboss billing will rate any mix of SDR and CDR rated and itemized tariffs. Significantly for the channel, this also includes mobile billing allowing the partner to offer a mobile solution “in skin” rather than with a separate customer bill. Consolidating all users spend, across packages and services, bundled and rateable VoIP minutes and mobile minutes within a single invoice summary provides the bill clarity customers are demanding.

A significant industry barrier in the adoption of all hosted services is trying to present multi-vendor solutions as one product to the customer. Unified Billing from Uboss is a major step in positioning a single solution to your customers.
