As a satellite communications service provider in a highly competitive market, you know the importance of charging the right amount. Get that wrong, and you can be looking at costly results.
Working out bills manually may seem attractive on the face of it. It's easy to think that you're avoiding the costs of a billing system and so saving money. In fact, this is a false economy. The reason for this is simple: human error. Wherever you leave something to be calculated manually, this risk creeps in – and the more you do it, the greater the risk. You certainly wouldn't do your company accounts with pen and paper. There's just too much chance of making an expensive mistake. Exactly the same consideration applies here. In today's market, you just can't afford to use old-fashioned manual methods.
Even so, you may be wondering whether it's worth making the change from your current setup to a system like SATbill. You may be undercharging your customers by just a small amount each time and feel it's not worth worrying about. But think about it. That's not a one-off cost. Each time you undercharge, you're losing money that you could be investing in other areas of your business. These losses can mount up after a while. Overcharges can also happen, and when your customers realise what's happening, it could hit their confidence in your service. They may even end up going to a competitor, and that can mean severe financial problems.
