Broadband Billing — Zero Manual Work

Reviewed by the NowaCRM ISP operations team Last updated: May 18, 2026

Quick answer

Manual billing is the biggest bottleneck for growing ISPs. Every hour your team spends generating invoices, chasing payments, and activating subscribers is an hour not spent acquiring new customers. NowaCRM automates your entire broadband billing pipeline — invoice generation, payment collection, service activation, renewal reminders, and expiry handling — with zero manual intervention.

01

Automated Invoice Generation

NowaCRM's billing engine runs scheduled cycles based on each subscriber's billing date. Invoices are auto-generated with the correct plan amount, taxes (GST), proration for mid-cycle changes, and any add-on charges. Each invoice gets a unique sequential number, PDF rendering, and is immediately available on the subscriber portal. You can configure auto-email delivery so subscribers receive their invoice the moment it's generated.

02

Webhook-Driven Payment Processing

When a subscriber pays via Razorpay, PhonePe, or UPI, the payment gateway sends a webhook to NowaCRM. The system verifies the payment signature, matches it to the open invoice, marks it as paid, and triggers service activation — all within seconds. No human touches the process. For failed payments, automatic retry notifications are sent to the subscriber.

03

Automatic Service Activation & Renewal

Paid invoice? Subscriber activated. NowaCRM pushes a RADIUS Change of Authorization (CoA) to the subscriber's NAS device, upgrading their session to the correct bandwidth. For renewals, the system checks plan validity, generates the renewal invoice, and upon payment, extends the service period. Prepaid subscribers whose validity expires are automatically suspended with a grace period option.

04

Smart Renewal Reminders

NowaCRM sends automated reminders before plan expiry — typically at 7 days, 3 days, and 1 day before. Reminders can be sent via SMS, email, or push notification. Each reminder includes a payment link for one-click renewal. After expiry, follow-up reminders encourage re-activation. All reminder schedules are configurable per ISP.

05

Billing Reports & Revenue Analytics

Track your ISP's financial health with automated billing reports. Daily collection summaries, monthly revenue breakdowns, outstanding invoice aging, payment method distribution, and partner-wise collection reports — all generated automatically. Export to Excel or view in the dashboard. Scheduled reports can be emailed to management daily or weekly.
