INTEGRATIONS

Built for South African ISP operations

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

Explore Splynx capabilities

A closer look at what South African ISPs use in Splynx every day.

Provision CPEs without the truck roll

With the TR-069 ACS add-on, Splynx provisions a new router on its first connection, upgrades firmware on selected devices in one action, and lets subscribers reboot their own router from the portal. Fibre ISPs running Huawei OLTs can manage ONTs with the Huawei GPON add-on.

RADIUS that works with your equipment

FreeRADIUS ships bundled and pre-configured with Splynx: PPPoE, IPoE, MAC authentication and IPv6 delegation work with RADIUS-compatible hardware from any vendor. When an invoice goes unpaid, the customer can be blocked automatically and redirected to a page where they can pay.

Payments South African customers already use

Splynx integrates with Netcash for Pay Now and debit orders and with FNB bank reconciliation, which matches incoming payments to invoices, and syncs with Sage, Xero and QuickBooks. When a customer falls behind, they can be blocked automatically and redirected to a page where they can pay.

Pricing you can check before you call

Splynx publishes its prices: $255 per month for up to 400 active subscribers, including hosting, updates, technical support and every feature. The license grows in steps of 100 subscribers, and paying yearly takes 10% off the license. Estimate your cost in the pricing calculator.

MIGRATION MADE EASY

Launch in weeks, not months

We help you move your tariff plans, customers and services, with deployment and migration assistance included in the license. For a South African ISP a full deployment typically takes about 4 weeks, with 1:1 engineer-led sessions on weekdays between 09:00 and 23:00 SAST.

“We were not satisfied with the billing section of Datatill and needed a better alternative, Splynx with local payment gateway integrations solved this problem for us.” →

“We sure would have had a hard time getting to everything if we stayed where we were, so comparing tasks back then and now we would definitely spend at least a week just to do invoicing.” →

“It has enabled us to ditch 3 separate platforms: Clickatell SMS Portal, Freshdesk Support Portal, and Sagepay Debit order Portal.” →

“We needed PPPOE and billing on one platform, block customers automatically when no payment is received.” →

“Originally month end used to take us up to 3 days or more to complete. With Splynx we are able to process month end in about 1 hour.” →

“Splynx definitely improved our financial side of the company and billing. Because normally on the 25th I myself personally had to send out the invoices manually, but now it's just a button click away.” →
