Revenue Assurance and Fraud Detection for Operators
Usage reconciled against what was rated and billed, and the patterns that indicate bypass, subscription and interconnect fraud surfaced while they are still running.
Typical outcomes for this kind of engagement. Results depend on your data and starting point.
Revenue leaks quietly between the network and the invoice: usage that is carried but never rated, rated but never billed, or billed at the wrong tariff. Fraud compounds it — bypass terminations that avoid interconnect charges, subscriptions taken with no intention to pay, traffic pumped to inflate settlement. Each is investigated separately, after the month has closed and the money has gone.
- Usage carried but never rated, or rated but never billed
- Leakage estimated after month end rather than measured as it happens
- Bypass terminations avoiding interconnect charges undetected
- Subscription fraud identified only once the debt is written off
- Assurance and fraud investigated separately from the same data
CloudGate reconciles usage end to end — switch to mediation to rating to billing — so leakage is measured rather than estimated, and the point in the chain where records are lost is identified. Fraud patterns are scored on live traffic against subscriber and route behaviour, so a bypass gateway or a pumping pattern is flagged while it is still operating rather than at the next settlement.
- End-to-end reconciliation from switch through mediation, rating and billing
- The point in the chain where records are lost identified, not just the gap
- Bypass and traffic-pumping patterns scored on live traffic
- Subscription fraud scored at activation from behaviour and application data
- Cases raised with the evidence and the exposure attached
- Assurance and fraud worked from one model rather than two extracts
