Local Service Providers (LSPs) , which include Competitve Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) and Voice Over IP (VoIP) providers, have an uphill battle against the Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs).

A LSP needs to differentiate itself with competitive products and services.  They need quick and error free order processing.  They must offer a variety of products at competitive rates.  They need to produce a single convergent bill.  Lastly, they must provide superior customer service.

Cadebill provides a flexible architecture and powerful rating engine with which a LSP can build their support systems.

The Cadebill base system performs customer billing for a variety of products and services.  Billing can be set for prescheduled intervals, such monthly, to accurately invoice a customer in a timely manner.  The functionality provided includes the ability to pro-rate charges, accurately calculate taxes, and separate regulatory and non-regulatory items.  

The Inventory Control module provides the ability to charge ad-hoc service charges, such as setup charges, and the ability to bill material charges.  This provides a unified system to track all one time charges to a customer.

Cadebill's convergent billing capability allows a LSP to offer long distance services; dial-up; broadband connections, such as xDSL; cable; video-on-demand; and present them in a single bill.

Electronic Bill Presentation and Payment (EBPP), using Web-Cadebill and e-Cadebill modules provides a pleasant experience for customers and increase their overall satisfaction.

Local Service Provisioning facilitates Pre-Order and Firm-Order functions between a CLEC or VoIP provider and an ILEC.  This supports the goal of quick and error free order processing.  The module is offered in either a License or Service Provider model and can be utilized in conjunction with the Cadebill base system or integrated with your own billing system.

Overall, a LSP stands to benefit from comprehensive solutions provided by Cadebill in managing the entire business operations, providing an enhanced overall value, and a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).
