How to Choose an ISP Billing System in Kenya
Evaluate payment confirmation, router compatibility, billing definitions, migration and support with a practical pilot checklist.
Test the workflows that pay your bills
List the access types and payment methods your subscribers actually use. Verify merchant requirements and callback/reconciliation behavior. Test a failed payment and a delayed confirmation as well as the successful path.
Check compatibility at device level
Ask about the actual model, firmware, Controller arrangement and topology. A vendor logo is not a complete compatibility matrix. Use a pilot device rather than assuming every product from a manufacturer behaves identically.
Compare the whole billing policy
Clarify what counts as an active account, included allowances, hotspot commission or tiers, installation charges and any first-month payment. Review trial conditions and gateway charges separately. Avoid comparing only the headline unit price.
Evaluate migration and support
Check import fields, credential handling, expiry mapping and rollback. Read the public documentation and ask concrete deployment questions. Treat customer totals, rankings or uptime promises as claims requiring evidence.
