Service 05 · Commission & Billing Assurance System

Make commission and billing exceptions visible and explainable.

Reconcile carrier commission and billing statements against your own records — expected-versus-paid, missing activations, SPIFFs and residuals, duplicate credits, chargebacks, and vendor invoice variances.

Telecom agencies, resellers, carrier partners, MVNOs, ISPs, and MSPs whose finance or operations teams repeat manual billing or commission checks.

$10,000–$30,000One-time build · planning range

Starts with a Scoping & Data-Fit Assessment ($2,500–$5,000, credited to the build) on one statement source and one historical period.

The problem

Every statement period, finance rebuilds the same math.

Carrier statements, activation records, invoices, and payments use different identifiers. Finance reconstructs expected amounts every period and spends time resolving the same ambiguities. PD Insights turns the approved matching and calculation rules into a repeatable expected-versus-paid workflow.

Make commission and billing exceptions — unpaid activations, short-paid SPIFFs, duplicate credits — visible, explainable, and ready for dispute or review.

What you get

Five working parts, delivered as internal software.

01

Data fit findings

Examine a representative historical period, identifiers, rule coverage, and record quality before confirming the build.

02

Normalized records

Map the agreed statement and business-record formats into a traceable reconciliation dataset.

03

Matching and exact calculations

Apply approved rates, effective dates, splits, adjustments, and matching rules in software.

04

Exception review queues

Identify expected-versus-actual differences, possible duplicates, unmatched records, and items needing finance judgment.

05

Evidence and operating handoff

Export source-to-result records, review decisions, period summaries, validation examples, and a repeatable operating procedure.

How it works

Define it. Build it. Prove it.

1

Confirm data fit

Test identifiers, record completeness, effective dates, and the availability of approved financial rules.

2

Build the reconciliation

Normalize inputs, calculate expected values, and classify records for matching or review.

3

Validate a period

Reconcile against a finance-approved historical example and confirm the exception process before ongoing use.

Focused starting scope

Start narrow, then expand

Begin with a Scoping & Data-Fit Assessment ($2,500–$5,000, credited in full to the build if it is signed within 60 days of the assessment readout) using one statement source and one representative historical period. The first build then covers either commission reconciliation or billing review with the approved rules and formats.

Add statement sources, historical periods, or a second reconciliation type once the first process is accepted. Any recovery-based fee arrangement requires a separate agreement on verified amounts and measurement periods.

Investment

What moves the price

$10,000–$30,000One-time build · confirmed in a written proposal

Statement formats, periods, transaction volume, identifier quality, calculation rules, and reconciliation destinations determine the fee. Multiple carriers, billing plus commissions, or direct accounting connections expand scope.

What you provide

Inputs

Statements, invoices or activation records, approved agreements and rate schedules, effective dates, adjustment history, known exceptions, and a finance reviewer. Provide only the data required for the scoped reconciliation.

How it's accepted

Acceptance

Every imported row is accounted for as matched, excluded with a reason, or queued for review. Calculations reproduce approved examples. Exceptions retain their source evidence and a visible resolution history.

Boundaries

An exception is a finding to investigate, not confirmed recoverable revenue. Finance approves adjustments and disputes. Payment execution, accounting entries, contract interpretation, and recovery services are outside the base build. This build runs under the same controls as every PD Insights system.
