Using our global infrastructure, Araxxe can test and verify roaming situations that are impractical to assess through manual test plans.

Our End-to-End monitoring allows us to identify issues such as :

• missing transactions
• incorrectly metered transactions
• incorrectly rated transactions
• delayed or incorrect notifications etc. which traditional reconciliation tools often miss. 
   

Araxxe provides high definition billing verification, allowing operators identify and eliminate the final 2% – 3% leakage often tolerated within reconciliation systems.

We advocate for zero-error tolerance by performing ‘per transaction’ without using aggregated data. 

We believe that even “small” billing errors matter: 

• One small billing error today can become a significant error tomorrow ! 
• Ten small billing errors can have a substantial financial impact !
   

Our Worldwide Billing Error Observatory report shows that more billing errors occur whilst roaming (64%) as compared to those that occur on home networks (36%).

Our Worldwide Billing Error Observatory report shows that more billing errors occur whilst roaming (64%) as compared to those that occur on home networks (36%). 

Roaming revenues are particularly affected by Billing Error Cases with two main areas of weakness: 

• Roaming data passes do not always work as expected applying incorrect set-up and usage charges.
• Voice CDR’s are frequently “lost” in the transfer from roaming partner resulting in underbilling.

Billing errors lead to revenue loss, poor customer experience and reputational damage for telecoms providers.

Insights into Billing Errors

Billing errors lead to revenue loss, poor customer experience and reputational damage for telecoms providers.

Araxxe helps operators ensure billing accuracy through our End-to-End Billing Validation Service.  With over 19 years of experience, utilizing a global network of test call generators and telecoms resources, we have helped our customers save millions of euros in lost revenue.

Leveraging firsthand information, we developed our Billing Errors Observatory report, based upon over 9 million test events generated from 120 countries around the world.

Two significant issues stand out:

• Data, now the most critical revenue stream for operators, has the highest Billing Error Rate compared to other service types.
• Roaming, where revenues are rapidly increasing post-COVID, have a significantly higher error rate than local usage.

Watch our feed over the next 4 weeks and understand why it is crucial for mobile operators to monitor billing accuracy.

1. Episode 01: Data billing: Beware of its complexity!

Data is the primary revenue stream for most operators. Whilst many think this is simple to manage via unlimited offers and bundles, Araxxe identifies multiple issues, such as:

• Inconsistent application of bundles across different sales channels
• Delayed customer notifications
• Incorrect and misleading customer notifications
• Incorrect bundle allowance
• Incorrect renewal and usage notifications
• Incorrect allowance and renewal periods
• Incorrect application of throttling
• Incorrect pro-rating of cancelled bundles
