Charging Platform

A dynamic cloud-based charging solution for a complex tariff landscape

The charging landscape for enterprises is increasingly complex, requiring a responsive charging platform which can meet changing customer demands. That includes meeting expectations of multi-level or bespoke tariff offers, creating a dynamic and rapidly evolving ecosystem for providers. Enterprises are increasingly looking to offer flexible pricing solutions as part of an adaptive charging and payment system.

Neural Technologies’ Optimus Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) is a cloud-native charging, analytics, and revenue assurance bundle. The platform can handle any level of complexity in charging solutions to provide both maximum flexibility and profitability to customers within a multi-level tariffed ecosystem.

Neural Technologies’ machine learning solution combines three key pillars of operations through self-learning, unconstrained anomaly detection, and advanced risk prediction techniques.

This self-learning ML solution employs autonomous retraining to continually update and refine predictive modeling. It delivers automatically optimized cluster identification, clearly identifies and explains structural information through key descriptive factors, and provides confidence-based mapping of new data to clusters with clear reasoning.

This is a system which is designed for any enterprise requiring dynamic pricing solutions for the modern operating environment. It provides a powerful platform for key use cases such as smart metering for utilities, IoT rating, revenue assurance, and billing reconciliation.

Charging with experience

Neural Technologies’ CaaS platform is built on decades of charging experience, deploying industry-leading solutions to enterprises around the world. It leverages the power of the Optimus Platform, with a successful history of unlocking the value of enterprise data to enhance customer service and reduce revenue leakage. Partnership with Microsoft Azure’s world-beating cloud platform ensures a safe, reliable, accessible, and secure payment system solution for providers.

The Optimus CaaS solution is uniquely designed to meet the needs of the most complex pricing models and dynamic tariff landscape. It has seen widespread adoption in key industries such as telecoms and utilities. The dynamic pricing model enables flexible solutions for time-of-day, day-of-week, peak hours, discounting scenarios, geo-zoning, and other key tariff structures. It is designed to support standard subscription models, while also providing a scalable and user-friendly growth solution in more complex or multi-tiered tariff structures.

Combined credit solutions

The Optimus CaaS solution can be further enhanced through integration of Neural Technologies’ unique built-in credit worthiness/scoring module known as Optimus Liquid Credit.

This AI/ML-driven component can identify and monitor “bad” or “risky” customers as they are on-boarded and also during the application process. This is an important element of the Know Your Customer (KYC) strategy to reduce operational risk and mitigate revenue losses through fraud. Leveraging Neural Technologies’ advanced Revenue Assurance product portfolio provides further assurance to customers, providing risk mitigation of revenue streams to ensure accuracy and safety

Neural Technologies’ Optimus Platform is built on over 30 years of experience delivering market-leading solutions that reduce operational risk and deliver valuable return on investment for customers around the world.
