INTEGRATIONS

Built for South African ISP operations

Splynx integrates natively with the platforms South African ISPs rely on: Netcash and FNB for payment collection and reconciliation, Sage, Xero, and QuickBooks for accounting, and LibreQoS, Bequant, Preseem, and Whalebone for network performance and security.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

Splynx gives ISPs more tools and better control

A closer look at where Splynx pulls ahead - provisioning, RADIUS, payments, and pricing.

Provision CPEs without the truck roll

Splynx ships with a native TR-069/ACS that auto-configures routers, ONTs, and access points remotely. Push firmware updates, change Wi-Fi credentials, and diagnose connectivity issues - all from the Splynx dashboard, no truck roll required. For fiber ISPs running GPON, Splynx handles OLT provisioning and service activation end-to-end.

Provision CPEs without the truck roll

RADIUS built in, not bolted on

Splynx embeds a native RADIUS server that handles PPPoE, IPoE, DHCP, MAC authentication, and IPv6 prefix delegation out of the box. No separate server to stand up, no middleware to maintain. Authentication, authorization, and accounting run inside the same platform as your billing and CRM, so subscriber state stays in sync automatically.

Simplify your customer's payment experience

Splynx's native Netcash integration gives your customers two frictionless ways to pay: Pay Now for instant EFT directly from the customer portal, and Debit Orders for automated monthly collection with same-day batch processing. FNB Bank Reconciliation auto-matches incoming payments to invoices - no manual allocation, no end-of-month scramble.

Payments sync automatically to Sage Business Cloud, Xero, or QuickBooks, keeping your books current without CSV exports. When a customer falls behind, Splynx's multi-stage suspension workflow redirects their connection to an HTTPS payment portal where they can settle and restore service instantly - no support ticket required.

Simplify your customer's payment experience

No edition caps, no hidden add-ons

Splynx scales linearly - per-subscriber pricing with volume discounts, all features included at every level, no caps to hit and no modules to purchase separately.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before switching from DataTill.

Does DataTill support TR-069 or GPON/FTTH provisioning?

Datatill's public documentation does not mention TR-069 auto-configuration or GPON/FTTH provisioning. If fiber deployment with remote CPE management is a requirement, confirm directly with Datatill whether this is supported. Splynx includes a native TR-069/ACS and supports GPON provisioning directly from the platform.

Is Splynx established in South Africa, or is it a foreign platform?

Splynx serves 350+ South African ISPs - including MetroFibre, Clear Access, Stenberg Telecom, and Wibernet. The platform is hosted in Teraco data centres with JINX and CINX peering for low latency across South African metros, and is POPIA-compliant. Splynx maintains a local support team in Cape Town and Johannesburg with SAST-aligned hours (09:00–23:00 weekdays) and an average first response time under 12 minutes. See the full South African ISP page.

How does DataTill's MikroTik integration compare to Splynx?

Datatill offers deeper out-of-the-box MikroTik tooling: native router scanning, automatic config backups with change detection, built-in speed tests with historical graphs, and direct hotspot profile management. Splynx manages MikroTik devices through its native RADIUS server, SNMP monitoring, and API - but MikroTik config backup and speed testing require external tooling. For MikroTik-heavy WISPs, Datatill's native integration is a genuine advantage.

Can I migrate from DataTill to Splynx?

Yes. Splynx offers free data migration as part of onboarding - the team imports your subscriber records, billing history, and network configurations. Most ISPs are fully running on Splynx within 2–4 weeks. Plan for RADIUS re-provisioning and payment gateway reconfiguration during the transition. Datatill's migration assistance terms are not publicly documented; contact their team directly.

Does Splynx offer a free trial?

Yes. Splynx offers a free 15-day trial with full feature access - no credit card required, no setup fee. You can import your subscriber data during the trial to evaluate the platform with real operational conditions. Datatill does not publicly advertise a free trial on their website.

Does DataTill have an open API for custom integrations?

DataTill's API availability is not publicly documented on their website. If you need to connect your ISP platform to external systems - accounting software, custom dashboards, automation workflows, or third-party monitoring tools - you'd need to confirm API access directly with DataTill. Splynx provides a fully documented REST API that covers billing, CRM, networking, and scheduling endpoints.
