Telecom billing automation
Turn connected service data into controlled billing
Trunkstar connects the terms agreed during quoting and ordering with the services that are delivered and invoiced. Providers can automate multi-entity recurring and one-time billing, approvals, credits, commissions, and bookkeeping handover without rebuilding the commercial context in a separate workflow.
The billing challenge
Billing should not require rebuilding what was sold
Connectivity billing can combine recurring charges, one-time charges, credits, contract changes, multiple services, and different commercial relationships. When the billing team receives that information through spreadsheets or handovers, it must first determine what was agreed and what is active.
Trunkstar keeps the customer, quote, order, service, price, and contract context connected so billable information can progress from the lifecycle record instead of being entered again.
Billing workflow
Move from commercial terms to bookkeeping-ready output
Prepare invoices for approval
Generate recurring invoice drafts ahead of issue so authorized users can review, approve, and release them.
Automate every charge type
Handle recurring charges, one-time charges, installments, credits, and credit invoices from the connected lifecycle.
Connect bookkeeping
Integrate billing output with the provider's bookkeeping system while keeping the telecom lifecycle in Trunkstar.
Service changes
Keep billing aligned with the live service lifecycle
An active connectivity service can be upgraded, downgraded, renewed, migrated, or cancelled. Those changes can affect the commercial record and the billing that follows.
Keeping service and billing context together gives finance and operations a shared view of the change, its timing, its agreed terms, and any related buyout calculation or credit.
- Recurring service charges
- One-time product, delivery, and service charges
- Credits and credit invoices
- Commercial changes linked to active services
- Financial handover to bookkeeping systems
Channel commissions
Calculate and pay agent and reseller commissions
Agent and reseller environments can carry the commercial relationships needed for commission calculation. Trunkstar can calculate commission automatically from the relevant business context rather than maintaining a separate channel spreadsheet.
Commission payout can be handled through credit invoices, keeping the partner, customer, order, service, and payout relationship traceable inside the operating model.
Financial control
Give finance control without adding month-end reconstruction
Separate permissions control who can view, manage, and approve invoices. Bulk approval, payment-status updates, finance dashboards, and reporting help teams handle routine work efficiently while every change remains attributable.
Invoice recipients, outbound email history, credits, and the underlying service context remain visible. An API integration can keep the bookkeeping system synchronized while Trunkstar manages the telecom-specific logic behind each invoice.
