Automated Telecom Billing Solutions

Billing is a very central part of telecommunications and of any fiber broadband network. Automated billing is key; cuts costs, ensures revenue, and saves time. COS Business Engine supports all possible business models no matter if you are an Internet Provider billing your subscribers directly or if you are an Open Access Network Operator who charges wholesale fees on a monthly basis.

In the latter case, COS Business Engine aggregates a billing report for every ISP on your network on a monthly basis, available on the COS Business Engine admin interface.

There are variations where the Operator is also billing the end customer, or where the Operator is billing the customer for all services on behalf of the ISPs. COS Business Engine facilitates and automates all these billing models, as well as the traditional single-provider business model.

Automated billing is desirable because it

  • helps monitor your customer’s payments and to detect “bad payers”.
  • eliminates typical risks associated with manual billing, such as data entry errors 
  • creates a great customer experience
  • cuts costs
  • ensures revenue
  • saves time and manpower

Networking Management System

Managing, planning and running your network has never been easier! COS Business Engine offers many features and allows you to stay on top of your network and its performance easily and at all times with tailored diagnostic data. There are two standard roles available:

Admin profile: Take control! Effortlessly allows you to update service assortment, prices, and terms.

Support profile: Gain access to a limited subset of data network diagnostics and information on how services are performing on the network.

Effortlessly Handle Network Outages

Additionally, our latest update in COS Business Engine makes it easier to manage and communicate network outages. If a network element such as an OLT goes down you can create a disruption for that OLT and publish it on the marketplace; either visible for all subscribers or only those who are actually affected. 

Say goodbye to chaos during network disruptions! Our latest update simplifies the process:

Instant Updates: Experience swift communication during outages. Using this function not only keeps your subscribers informed but also reduces the number of tickets that are created and reduces the workload for your support staff.

Prioritizing Information: If a subscriber calls in, the support staff immediately sees that they are affected by an ongoing disruption, and they are therefore able to provide the customer with accurate information right away.

Integration Benefits: If your NOC has monitors and automatically detects outages, our new Network Operations API can push that disruption into the Business Engine.

This disruption is visible to all system users, and they can choose to approve or edit the disruption message and publish it on the marketplace.

Exploring the Efficiency of Fiber Networks: A Comprehensive Look, at COSs Network Monitoring Tool.

How our software solutions can offer planning, building, monitoring and managing fiber networks. And how COS can help optimize performance and efficiency at different stages of the network lifecycle.

If you’re using automated provisioning via one of our partners, our provisioning dashboard gives you an overview of the status of the services on your network.

The integration with COS Business Engine keeps track of your network and the services that have been provisioned, should be provisioned, or should be canceled but haven’t been terminated yet.

For example, the dashboard lets you know quickly how many services are activated even though they are missing a contract or how many services are still active even though the service has been canceled.

Improving ISP Marketing: Simplifying Options and Increasing Digital Effectiveness

ISP Marketing prominently, illustrating the core focus of the article on digital innovations for internet service providers.

The key to efficient network operations is self-service, and in order to make marketing to your subscribers as easy as possible for you as an ISP, COS Business Engine has an integrated online marketplace.

This marketplace can be tailored, (visually) adapted, and branded and enables customers to choose what they want when they want and no matter where they are – around the clock!

The filter function makes it easy to choose between different services (e.g. internet, phone, tv) and to compare offers from different providers. At a glance, the customer sees which providers offer the best price to what conditions.

Once they have made their choice, neither the operator nor the service provider needs to take any further action, thanks to the zero-touch service provisioning functionality of COS Business Engine:  services are provisioned automatically and ready to be used at the customer’s address within minutes.

The online marketplace can essentially complete the tasks of an entire call center while eliminating human error.
