MVNO, MVNE & telecom billing platform —
built for convergent billing.

Voice, broadband, TV and everything you bundle around them — one subscriber, one wallet, one bill, alongside the online charging system (OCS) you already run.

The subscriber retention challenge

Telecom churn costs millions — and it's getting harder to stop.

MVNOs and telcos that win on retention do it through loyalty, personalisation, and billing flexibility. The operators losing ground rely on price alone.

20–50%

annual churn across telecom operators — one of the highest of any subscription industry¹

6–7×

more expensive to acquire a new subscriber than to retain an existing one¹

$50B+

projected global MVNO revenue by 2030 — growing at 8.8% CAGR as operators move beyond basic connectivity¹

1.5×

higher churn for MVNOs vs MNOs in mature markets — driven by lack of loyalty programmes and sticky bundles¹
