Bundles

Within the Product Management of our systems, Bundles play a key part in packaging the various products and tariffs. All the billing rules and behaviours are defined here such as upgrade/downgrade paths, inclusion/exclusion of services, contract terms, charging for ceasing within contract term etc.

No matter which telecoms or energy products you have and how you want to mix them, we will have the capability and innovation you require to stay one step ahead of your competitors. From a simple mix of fixed line with mobile to the most complicated setup covering fixed line, mobile, IP, Broadband, gas and electricity we have the capability to surpass your expectations.

There are 2 principles governing our bundle setups:

Financial postings

Each element of charging such as a line rental, one off charge or calls to a particular destination is allocated to a posting type. Posting types carry your GLIDs for the financial system. All billing data is presented by posting types and products to your financial systems allowing you to report by products lines and allocate credits to the correct postings also.

Converging products

Bundles are built up from the individual chargeable elements PLUs. PLUs can be a product or an element of your product offering. The purpose of the bundles is to bring together all the PLUs, discount, and voice tariffs to package in to one product that can be sold to customers.

All the various business rules can also be defined here such as which business type the bundle will be available to:

  • Upgrade/downgrade paths
  • Inclusion/exclusion rules
  • Description on the bill
  • Cease behaviours
  • Contract terms etc
  • Recurring and setup price
  • Allow overriding or recurring or setup costs
