Rate Decks and Usage Plans
Manage your rates and calling plans for metered or consumption based billing.
Telecom services often have complex rate plans with multiple tiers, add-ons, and discounts. Managing and accurately calculating charges based on these complex rate structures can be challenging and prone to errors.
TimelyBill offers several ways to create usage plans and apply them for call rating. Rates are grouped into rate decks* which are wrapped into a usage plan. These plans are then assigned to a service, or added to a product in the product catalog.
Usage rates can be added manually using the configuration screen. For bulk changes, you can import rate data using a spreadsheet. This option helps manage a large file of rates.

Optimize Customer Bill Presentment
*A rate deck is a table that shows a call destination and cost to complete. Oftentimes, there are two different costs to be considered, based on the locations of the caller and recipient.
