Project Overview
Our client, a regional ISP with 15,000 subscribers, was struggling with manual billing processes and disconnected network management systems that couldn't scale with their growth.
The ISP was using spreadsheets for billing and a separate system for customer management, requiring manual data entry that often led to errors. Invoice generation took 5 staff members 7-10 days each month, delaying collections.
Their system couldn't automatically track bandwidth usage, apply customized packages, or generate real-time reports. This led to billing disputes, delayed payments, and inefficient resource allocation.
We developed a comprehensive ISP Billing and Management System with integrated customer management, automated invoicing, and network monitoring. The solution connected with MikroTik and other networking equipment for real-time usage tracking.
The system automated monthly billing cycles, provided self-service portals for customers, and offered detailed analytics on network performance. Staff could now process invoices in 2 days with 95% fewer errors while providing better customer visibility.
Key Challenges
The ISP faced several critical operational challenges that were impacting revenue and customer satisfaction.
Manual Billing
Error-prone spreadsheet-based invoicing requiring 15-20 hours of manual work monthly, resulting in 12-15% billing inaccuracies.
Cash Flow Delays
7-10 day invoice generation cycles causing 2-3 week payment delays and working capital shortages.
Bandwidth Monitoring
No real-time visibility into customer usage patterns leading to 25-30% revenue leakage from uncharged overages.
Customer Disputes
35% increase in support tickets due to opaque usage calculations and inconsistent billing statements.
Package Enforcement
Inability to automatically enforce bandwidth throttling when customers exceed their purchased plans.
Tax Compliance
Difficulty calculating and applying correct VAT/regulatory fees across different service tiers and locations.
Expiration Management
No automated system to handle package expirations, renewals, or grace period enforcement.
Multi-branch Coordination
Decentralized operations causing inconsistent pricing and service terms across different franchise locations.
