Invoice Forecast | Chargeback | Revenue Assurance/Cost Mgt | Wholesale Billing & Rating | Settlement
Taking a real-time feed from your or S3's Order and Inventory Management Systems, S3 can forecast future invoices based upon pending changes such as disconnects, adds, and disputes.Once the vendor invoices arrive, the forecast serves as the basis for comparison to the teramatched results.
With S3's portal-based, fully integrated solution, the forecasted invoice is at your fingertips and you can see it change as soon as you submit an order or dispute.
Outsourcers and large enterprises have a need to provide detailed accounting of who used what, for how long, and what it cost. Because S3 compiles the most comprehensive database of usage and circuit data available, allocating cost to the correct cost center is very straightforward given the correct internal rules.
And because organizations tend to change as soon as the rules are distributed, S3 provides an online management tool to update cost center information down to the user. The automation even notifies managers when apparent "new" cost centers, services, or addresses appear to prompt the rules file update.
The Chargeback solution includes pre-configured reports and customized reporting is also available.
Revenue Assurance & Cost Management
S3's unique ability to automatically compile multiple databases with TeraMatch® reconciliation software enables in-period revenue assurance and cost management. This means that billing and vendor contract rules can be automatically combined and audited with provisioning, usage, or vendor data before the bills go out or the vendor is paid.
The massive S3 data warehouse is able to store billions of lines of data--current and historical information you need to access right away for reporting and audit purposes--not in days or weeks.
And with S3's process automation capability, rules can be configured so that notifications are sent at each instance. Integration with accounting systems or invoice processing vendors is a simple process.
Call detail records and comprehensive circuit and data information are available in a variety of preconfigured reports available over the Web for authorized viewers. Or S3 will customize reports for you and have them available each month with updated information.
Lowest level data means information that you cannot generally access from vendor summary reports or internal reports is now available with a few clicks. And information is profit.
With S3's carrier background and the powerful TeraMatch® platform, rating calls by LATA, OCN, type, etc., is no problem. S3 can provide monthly, weekly, daily, or even hourly rating depending on the usage volume and client need. For example, hourly rating may be particularly important for wholesaler carriers providing services to credit risk carrier customers or for more rigorous operational planning.
Invoice presentment can be accomplished in a variety of ways to suit your needs. Customized, private label reports are pre-configured to provide the absolute premier wholesale solution to your carrier-clients. All records are stored online, which means that near-instant retrieval of historical data is available with a couple of clicks over the Web.
Today's complex business models demand a need for transaction transparency. Mobile virtual network enablers, for example, need to be able to bill and account for each content download or call made for all stakeholders involved: network operators, content providers, virtual operators, and the enablers themselves. Compiling, reconciling, and presenting all the call feeds on a near real time basis is critical for cost validation and revenue assurance.
End-user subscribers now expect to see their calls online as well as number of minutes used, remaining, and their invoice. With the proper engine driving these solutions, most anything is possible to help differentiate the MVNE's solution.
S3's vast processing power and patent-pending TeraMatch® reconcilation algorithms enable the most complex and acute settlement needs for multiple solutions and all telecom services.
