Third Party Billing®
Third Party Billing® (TPB®) simplifies the operations between local carriers and service providers who do not have a direct billing relationship with the end customer.
TPB® enables carriers to include charges in their retail invoices from service providers/carriers who are not able to reach these customers directly (Co-Billing).

Commission management
Carriers need to bill and collect for services provided to other carriers and service providers. Significant costs are incurred as a result, which are then reimbursed in the form of commissions according to the services offered. The Commission Scheme for third party billing is a tool that accurately controls and rates the billing and collection process that a company conducts in the name of other carriers. This enables carriers to charge for time invested and expenses incurred in such activities.
The Commission Scheme can be based on:
| |
Products, services, or customers |

Date ranges |

Currency |
