Heksagon Interconnect Billing Process Solution
Turn complex traffic, fees, and agreements into clean, accurate, auditable invoices. Automate every billing cycle rating, aggregation, invoice creation, and settlement without spreadsheets or manual reconciliation.
Accurate Invoicing. Zero Guesswork.
Multiple traffic streams, special charging rules, recurring fees, minimum commitments, and revenue share settlements often require manual assembly across multiple systems. Missing CDRs, outdated price tables, or misaligned partner data introduce disputes and revenue leakage.
Heksagon processes 625M+ xDRs daily and supports multi-party settlements with full compliance to interconnect agreements and regulatory standards. Our Billing Process solution helps you automate the entire invoicing lifecycle, from rating and aggregation to invoice generation and settlement. With clear audit trails and built-in validation, operators can run predictable billing cycles that partners trust and finance teams rely on.
Heksagon Interconnect Billing Process Features
Heksagon gives operators a fully automated, fully auditable billing engine that transforms usage data and monetization rules into accurate invoices for every partner.
End-to-End Rating & Calculation
- Flexible Rating: Apply per-unit prices, tiered structures, peak/off-peak schedules, and volume-based models.
- Integrated Monetization: Traffic charges, recurring fees, one-time charges, and revenue-share outputs flow directly into the billing process.
- On-Demand Re-Rating: When pricing changes due to updated agreements or corrections, specific periods or destinations can be re-rated without affecting unrelated data.
- Currency & Rounding Rules: Apply partner-specific rounding and currency conversion for consistent settlements.
Aggregation, Summaries & Settlement Preparation
- Traffic Aggregation: Summarize CDRs by partner, destination, service type, or any configured dimension.
- Fee Consolidation: Combine recurring, event-based, and surcharge amounts into a transparent charge structure.
- Settlement Alignment: Prepare outputs for netting, revenue share, or directional balancing for partners who are both customers and suppliers.
- Pre-Invoice Validation: Check for missing CDRs, invalid destinations, or empty rating values before invoice creation.
Automated Invoice Generation
- Invoice Templates: Configure partner-specific layouts, tax rules, commercial structures, and invoice cycles (monthly, weekly, ad-hoc).
- Multi-Stream Billing: Generate separate invoice streams (e.g., traffic vs. recurring charges) or consolidated multi-service invoices.
- Itemized & Summary Views: Provide detailed traffic breakdowns and high-level summaries in a single document.
- Complete Audit Trails: Every invoice references its underlying usage, charges, rating logic, and configuration at time of billing.
Dispute Reduction & Financial Accuracy
- Built-In Controls: Compare expected traffic vs. billed traffic, detect missing pricing, and flag anomalies before invoices go out.
- Transparent Reference Data: Each billed item is traceable to its source CDRs, monetization rule, and settlement record.
- Partner Confidence: Clear, consistent billing reduces disputes and accelerates payment cycles.
- ERP & Finance Integration: Export invoice outputs to accounting systems in standardized formats (e.g., XML, CSV, API-based).
How Heksagon Billing Process Works
Heksagon Billing Process acts as the central engine for transforming traffic data and monetization rules into complete, validated invoices. The workflow connects Smart Mediation, Partner Management, Pricing, and Monetization into a seamless billing cycle.
From Rated Data to Clean Invoices
- Data Intake: Receives enriched and normalized traffic from Smart Mediation and pricing data from agreements.
- Rating Execution: Applies correct rates and commercial rules to all qualifying records.
- Aggregation & Grouping: Billed items are grouped by partner, service, destination, or other defined categories.
- Cycle Management: Billing cycles run automatically or on-demand, with full visibility into cycle status, progress, and exceptions.
Finalization, Delivery & Settlement
- Invoice Finalization: Freeze rated results for the billing period, ensuring consistency across reporting and settlements.
- Delivery: Export invoices as PDFs, XML, or partner-specific formats for portals, email distribution, or automated transfer.
- Settlement & Netting: For partners with two-way relationships, the system nets receivables and payables, reducing transaction overhead.
- Archival & Compliance: Historical invoices and all supporting data are kept for long-term analysis and regulatory requirements.
