Cross-Border Billing

Overview

Cross-border billing is how a fleet that sits in many countries still produces a bill finance can close. ICMP charges by country, rolls usage into one invoice, settles in more than one currency, and bills from actual usage. Coverage is 200+ countries and regions, with 500+ enterprise customers and more than 10 million connected devices.

Charges by country, traced to the record

Splits the bill by country or region, operator, and data plan, down to the call-detail record, so a multi-country business can allocate cost and reconcile it.

One invoice, one billing cycle

Combines usage from several countries into a single invoice and a single billing cycle. Invoices can be issued electronically, and reconciliation can run in more than one currency.

Settle in the currency the books use

Bills in the local currency, settles in one chosen currency, and can collect in more than one currency, which cuts both FX exposure and the cost of moving the money.

What the billing team has to be able to show

Finance needs one billing view worldwide, rates that can differ by operator and plan, data handling inside GDPR and local storage rules, and a reconciliation an auditor can follow. ICMP provides that dashboard, billing and usage reports, invoice management, multi-currency collection, and reconciliation, and it scales with the number of countries on the invoice.

How the invoice stays auditable

Billing runs on a microservices architecture, with a SLA of 99.9% and technical support around the clock. TLS protects the records in transit, IAM and RBAC limit who can change a rate, and the audit trail keeps the change.

Cross-border billing in one service, so invoices are not assembled from several platforms by hand
A REST API for ERP and finance systems, plus an export of the billing data
Billing history and usage detail an auditor can reopen
A named customer-success manager for rating rules and the finance handoff

Who closes the bill this way

Multi-country groups When devices are in 200+ countries, split the charge by country and still issue one invoice, so group cost allocation and subsidiary settlement use the same numbers.

Channel distribution / resellers Bill a multi-level channel from one process, split invoices by customer or region, and carry reseller settlement, commission, and the invoice itself.

Reconciliation and tax review Attribute usage at CDR level, reconcile in more than one currency, and produce the report a financial audit or a cross-border tax filing expects.

From rating rules to the first closed period

Projects usually run requirements review → solution design → a proof of concept → scaled deployment → ongoing tuning. SimtoLink configures the rating rules, adapts the invoice template, provides a POC environment, and helps connect the finance system.
