LogiSense Billing is a modular platform that is designed to provide maximum flexibility and scalability for customer deployments. An architectural view of the platform stack is illustrated below. These modules contain the capabilities necessary for service providers to monetize their offerings while optimizing and automating their ERP workflow. The modules are described in greater detail in the sections that follow:
Feature | Feature Benefit |
|---|---|
Administration | A web based interface that can be accessed by system administrators who will be responsible for the configuration of the product catalog and other back office business rules and templates. In addition, the interface is to be used by customer service representatives to obtain a 360 degree view of subscriber data and transactions. |
Users Management | Manage users that can login to the system and their credentials. Users can have roles associated with them with access control permissions to entities within the system. |
Account Management | Management of customer, partner or prospect accounts. LogiSense supports a hierarchical account tree with multi- level nested accounts to mirror customer account relationships. |
CRM/Salesforce | LogiSense Lead-to-Activate-to-Cash for Salesforce empowers your sales team with the tools to simplify on-boarding of new clients, promote upsell opportunities and provide E2E visibility into customer account details all without ever having to leave the Salesforce platform or interface with the company's billing department. |
Product Catalog | The product catalog is made up of packages that comprise a series of one or more services that are to be sold. A service is defined as a one time or recurring item, which relates to a piece of hardware or a service that is being marketed. One time and recurring pricing can be configured with multi- currency support. |
Pricing | Creation of one time and recurring subscription charges with different cadences. Granular usage pricing that can vary based on conditions. Full customization of pricing at the account level. Price plans can be created to set up rule based pricing with different aggregation rules. |
Multi-Currency | Expand your global footprint, by offering products and services in multiple currencies. LogiSense Billing allows you to set up subscription and usage pricing in multiple currencies, manage exchange rates and reconcile your reporting. |
Data Management/Mediation | The mediation module is responsible for setting up and managing usage feeds from the source data provider. In addition, the mediation engine performs aggregation, simplification and generally will normalize the data set from the raw feed and map the appropriate information into a data set that is to be consumed by the rating engine or other disparate systems. |
Rating and Charging | The LogiSense rating engine can rate any usage anywhere and any time. Conditional rates can be configured based on time of day and location parameters. |
Buckets and Share Plans | Buckets act as aggregators that allow you to aggregate usage across 1 or more entities. Multiple types can be aggregated including data, voice, messages and even API calls. This allows businesses the flexibility to provide free or multi-tiered usage allowances to their customers. |
Contract Management | LogiSense allows you to establish contractual relationships with your customer including the flexibility to set up fixed and variable terms along with renewal options. Contracts can be based on SIM volumes, time, usage and dollar amounts. Ramp up schedules can be established to allow the customer to meet commitment thresholds over a period of time with penalties imposed when thresholds are not met or if the contract is terminated early. Commitments on contracts handle scenarios where the customer has not met a minimum commit that they had contracted to. |
Billing | Reduce billing complexities with automated tools for effective billing including; the ability to manually and automatically schedule bill runs, creating multiple bill groups for account grouping. Support for multiple billing cycle dates. |
Invoicing | Ability to generate invoices for subsequent email to customer. Custom designs for customer invoices. |
