IoT / M2M Billing Platform for Communication Service Providers
An open, cloud-based, agile service and revenue control platform to monetize anything connected to the Internet.
Have you monetized the IoT market yet?
Everyone’s excited about IoT, but few have actually figured out how to make money off these services. We can give you the head start you need.
IoT is quite literally all around us and it’s definitely here to stay. And that’s good news for telcos if you already have a way to effectively monetize your IoT connectivity charges. That’s where PortaOne comes in.

What makes our PortaOne IoT billing solution unique?
Our strong point is our telecom billing background – our knowledge and skills in real-time authorization.
The majority of IoT billing platforms start with hardware in mind – let’s stick some devices together and let them work somehow, and then we’ll figure out how to enable and authorize them.
At PortaOne, our approach is a profit guarantee and our focus is billing, so we say: let’s first figure out how to monetize it and make sure that we don’t lose any money, and only then think of logistics.

Successfully running an IoT/M2M service requires creating and selling a “vertical” solution that solves a problem for a specific customer group and delivers enough value that the customer is willing to pay for.
Example: Instead of selling “IoT SIM cards for $0.99/month” you can sell “Smart Flood Monitoring for Home” for $4.99 (with a $50 rebate from the insurance company)
The Internet of Things (IoT) solutions are a major focus area for Vodafone Brazil. Thanks to PortaOne’s flexible provisioning and IoT billing platform, we are able to offer top quality M2M / IoT services to our business customers.
