System-R Air-time Billing System
Satellite communications are fast moving and highly complex. Billing systems therefore need to cope with an enormous range of air-time arrangements, including both rental and customer-owned equipment.
Symbiosys Business Solutions has designed and developed System-R, an air-time billing system, in conjunction with 7E Communications that enables organisations to track entire service cycles, from customer order to service provision and invoice payment.
System-R can significantly reduce the billing cycle from weeks to days, reducing running costs and rental administration and improving cash flow. It allows you to monitor your in-bound call costs by service, destination, call origin and service provider and manage your tariffs and margins proactively.
Key features of the product include:
- Easy tariff management: overlay tariffs to create customer-specific rates for each service and call termination
- Margin management and low-margin alerting
- Pricing alerts

- Consolidate multiple terminals to a single customer invoice
- Contract and Advance Pay tariffs supported
- Time-, data- and event-based calls handled

- Covers all Inmarsat B, Fleet, mini-M and M4 services
- Handles all subscription and activation charges
- Handles add-on extra-cost services, such as IP address charging
- Supports minimum call duration, call volume and call cost
- Sophisticated call volume discounting and ‘bundles’ supported
- Ablate non-call charges based on call volumes
- Flexible billing cycle: bill your services at the frequency you wish
