The Electronic Top-up solution is a distribution mechanism to replace physical prepaid top-up vouchers with virtual voucher-less airtime. The solution implements a hierarchical distribution model for distributors, sub-distributors and retailers and moves virtual airtime value between these entities in real time.The operator defines the business rules including the distribution hierarchy, pricing, discounts, and commissions. The commission structure is flexible, and all commissions are calculated automatically in real time. All transactions are secure and are verified before being committed. A transaction can be reversed at any stage prior to being committed.
Operators maintain control over the distribution network, top-up products, pricing, and margin, ensuring adequate sales coverage across their entire distributor and customer base while being shielded from direct reseller management and associated costs. Prepaid Operators can achieve savings in the areas of voucher production, warehousing, distribution, and fraud while offering an improved top-up service for their customers.
