Platform
Built in-house.
Run end to end.
We engineered our routing, rating and billing tools in-house, connecting traffic measurements, commercial rates and invoice preparation.
The chain
Six stages. One connected process.
Follow a rate from its effective date to a route, a completed call, its price and the records used to reconcile an invoice. The examples below use illustrative figures.
- 01InstantRATERates in
Supplier rate sheets read from the mailbox, validated line by line, applied with their effective dates.
- 02NRSARouting
Every supplier on every prefix ranked by Total Quality Indicator, re-ranked as live traffic changes.
- 03Rate sheetsRates out
Customer rate sheets generated and sent automatically, per service and currency, every change dated.
- 04InstantCAREReal-time rating
Each call costed the moment it ends, at buy and sell rate. Credit followed both ways.
- 05BillingInvoicing & reconciliation
Invoices checked against an independent count before issue; supplier invoices reconciled.
- 06LedgerAccounting
Invoices posted, currencies converted at official rates, balances known on any day.
NRSA · Network Routeing Scheme Assignment
Quality and cost, together.
NRSA combines traffic measurements and route cost into a Total Quality Indicator per supplier and prefix. It turns the quality view into a routing order for the switch.
The NRSA page explains the measurements, six observation windows and treatment of limited samples. Here, the important connection is the chain: validated supplier rates inform routing, and completed call records support rating and reconciliation.

InstantRATE
Supplier rates. Read and checked.
Suppliers send A–Z rate sheets by email, in whatever shape they use — Excel, CSV, compressed. InstantRATE reads the mailbox, opens the file and checks every line before it reaches NRSA.
What passes becomes dated increases, decreases, additions and deletions. Validation findings are reported for review; handling depends on the file and the applicable import rules.

- Import findingsReported for review

- File layoutParsed by supplier format
- Effective datesValidated

Rate notifications
Dated rates. Clear notices.
Customer rate sheets are produced and sent automatically: one file per service, CLI and NCLI, in the customer's currency, with every code, its rate, its effective date and whether it is an increase, a decrease, an addition or a deletion. Blocked destinations are shown as blocked.
A change needs an effective date and an agreed notice period. Exceptions in preparation or delivery require review.
| Destination | Rate | Change | Effective |
|---|---|---|---|
| Destination A — Mobile | 0.0412 | Increase | Dated, in advance |
| Destination A — Fixed | 0.0098 | Decrease | Immediate |
| Destination B — Mobile | 0.1250 | Unchanged | — |
| Destination C — Proper | 0.0310 | Addition | Dated |
| Destination D — Mobile | — | Blocked | — |
InstantCARE
Every call, costed.
InstantCARE takes each call from the switch as it completes and prices it twice — at the customer's rate and at the supplier's. Running totals per customer, per supplier and per destination are current to the last call, not to last night's batch.
The rated records provide a basis for customer, supplier and destination totals, and for comparison with billing. Exceptions need investigation before the figures can be accepted.

Credit and alerts
Credit in both directions.
Credit is followed on those live totals: what each customer owes against its limit, and what is committed with each supplier. Credit limits and traffic-handling arrangements are agreed for each interconnect.
Alert rules support operational review of rate, margin and credit exceptions.
Billing, reconciliation, accounting
Rated. Reconciled. Invoiced.
Invoices are produced on the cycle agreed with each customer — weekly, fortnightly or monthly — and checked before they are issued: the rated traffic is compared with an independent count of the same calls. Comparison findings support the review of missing traffic, rates and invoice differences.
Supplier invoices go through the same comparison in the other direction; a difference becomes a dispute with the detail attached. Accounting integration and foreign-currency conversion are handled according to the applicable company and accounting rules.

What it means for you
One consistent record.
Rates you can rely on
The system that sends your rate sheet is the system that bills you.
Invoices that reconcile
Checked against an independent count before issue — or a precise explanation of why not.
Routes chosen on evidence
Ranked, and re-ranked, on measured quality and cost.
Balances on any day
Swaps and credit run on figures that are current, not reconstructed.
