Overview

Technology for telecommunications, built around how you operate

Connectivity businesses make money one small transaction at a time. Hotspot vouchers, data bundles, agent commissions and top-ups add up to a large, fast-moving flow that is hard to track by hand. Corefort builds network, billing and connectivity platforms for ISPs and operators that turn that flow into something visible and manageable.

NetPurse, our connectivity and payment infrastructure platform, was built for this industry. It brings hotspot and data billing, automated payment collection, agent and reseller management and real-time usage analytics into one system designed around how ISPs actually operate.

Industry challenges

Where technology tends to get in the way

1

Managing agents and resellers across a distributed network

Many sellers in many places means many balances, commissions and disputes unless there is one clear record.

2

Billing and collecting reliably

Charging for connectivity, collecting payment and reconciling it against usage is manual and error-prone at scale.

3

Running through outages and connectivity gaps

For a connectivity business, an hour of downtime costs revenue and trust with agents and end users who have other options.

4

Not knowing what is actually happening on the network

Without usage visibility, it is hard to plan capacity, spot problems or understand which customers and locations drive revenue.

What we build

Systems we can build for telecommunications

Available in our product

Hotspot and data billing management

Billing for hotspot access and data, managed in one place instead of by hand.

Available in our product

Automated payment collection

Payments collected and recorded automatically, without manual follow-up.

Available in our product

Agent and reseller management

Tracking of agents and resellers, what they have sold and what they owe.

Available in our product

Real-time usage analytics

Live visibility of usage so operators can see activity and plan with real data.

Custom build

Graceful handling of outages

Local caching, queued transaction processing and clear status for agents, so an outage disrupts operations as little as possible.

Custom build

Network management and connectivity platforms

Custom tooling for ISP infrastructure and network operations beyond what the product covers.

NetPurse is designed, built and operated by Corefort. See the product page for its documented features and who it is designed for.

In practice

How this can look for your business

A hotspot operator selling through resellers

The situation

Resellers sell vouchers across many locations and the operator settles up with each of them manually.

The approach

Agent and reseller management with automated collection, so balances are visible and settlement is based on records, not memory.

A small ISP billing by spreadsheet

The situation

Customer billing is tracked in spreadsheets, and late or missed payments are found long after the fact.

The approach

Automated billing and payment collection, with usage visibility to explain what customers are being charged for.

An operator that cannot afford downtime

The situation

When connectivity drops, agents cannot process payments and confidence in the service suffers.

The approach

Operations designed to degrade gracefully, with local caching and queued transactions that catch up when the network recovers.

These are illustrative scenarios to show how we think about the problem. They are not client case studies.

Built by people who design for outages

For a connectivity business, the network is the product and the thing most likely to fail. We design billing and payment systems so they keep working through disruption instead of assuming everything is always online.

Security considerations

Connectivity and payment platforms hold customer records, balances and network access. These are the practices behind them.

We describe these as engineering practices. Corefort does not claim formal certification, audit or regulatory accreditation, and a system is never described as compliant with a standard unless that has actually been assessed.

  • Role-based access for operators, agents and resellers
  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Monitoring of the platform and its transactions
  • Backup, recovery and business-continuity planning
  • Incident-response procedures for when something goes wrong

How we work

From first conversation to a system you rely on

  1. 1

    Discover

    We look at how you sell connectivity, who your agents are and where billing and collection break down today.

  2. 2

    Architect

    We confirm what NetPurse covers as it is, and design any custom pieces around your network and payment flows.

  3. 3

    Build

    We configure and extend the platform in stages, starting with billing and collection.

  4. 4

    Deploy

    We onboard agents, launch with monitoring in place and plan the cutover from your current process.

  5. 5

    Scale

    We keep improving the platform as your network, agents and customer base grow.

Questions

Common questions about telecommunications projects

Can NetPurse manage agents and resellers?

Yes. Agent and reseller management is one of NetPurse's documented features, alongside hotspot and data billing, automated payment collection and real-time usage analytics.

What happens if our network goes down?

We design connectivity and billing systems to degrade gracefully, using approaches such as local caching and queued transactions. Exactly how that applies to your setup is confirmed in discovery.

Do you build beyond NetPurse?

Yes. Network management and connectivity platforms that go beyond the product are scoped as custom development.

How long will it take and what will it cost?

Timelines and pricing depend on scope, so neither is published for custom work. After a discovery conversation we give you a realistic timeline, and you can request a quote at any time.
