Your ISP does not stop when you leave the office. Customers expire at midnight. Payments land during lunch. A router goes quiet on a Sunday. Iterative Billing puts the whole business in your pocket, so the moment something needs you, you are already there. Money finds you, not the other way round Watch revenue arrive as it happens, split by every service you sell. Send an M-Pesa prompt to a customer while you are standing in front of them, and see it land before you shake hands. No office, no laptop, no waiting until evening to know how the day went. Keep customers before you lose them Know who expires this week before they do. A few taps renews them, extends them a grace period, or tops up their account. The customer who would have quietly walked to your competitor stays yours, because you reached them first. Run on numbers, not on gut feeling Which service actually earns? Where did the money go this month? What is sitting in stock, and what walked out to a job? The answers live in your pocket, drawn from the same books your accountant sees. Your business, protected like a bank app Lock the app behind your fingerprint or Face ID. A shared phone stops being a risk, and a lost one stops being a crisis. Payments run through M-Pesa itself, so your customers pay the way they already trust. Grow without growing the office From the first hotspot voucher to thousands of PPPoE subscribers, the app is the same. Add staff with exactly the access they need, and keep the parts of the business that are yours alone, yours alone. Built for internet service providers in Kenya, by people who know what 11pm on expiry night feels like. Iterative Billing is the operator app for ISPs on the Iterative Billing platform.
