MVNOs wait months for BSS deployment before generating first revenue. Pre-configured systems sit idle during lengthy integration cycles. Alepo’s BSS Now cuts launch time from quarters to one week for small operators.
The Launch Delay
Traditional BSS deployment requires months of infrastructure setup before configuration even begins. Teams procure hardware, install software, configure networks, and integrate systems sequentially. Each phase blocks the next, extending timelines while operational costs accumulate without revenue generation.
Small MVNOs and digital providers lack resources for extended BSS deployment cycles. By the time systems go live, market windows have closed and capital reserves have depleted. The delay between investment and revenue generation threatens business viability before the first subscriber activates service.
Operators face additional complexity when legacy BSS platforms require custom development for basic features. Simple changes like adding rate plans or modifying billing cycles trigger change requests that stretch weeks into months. The rigidity of traditional systems compounds deployment delays with ongoing operational friction.
One-Week SaaS Launch
Alepo’s BSS Now delivers pre-provisioned SaaS environments where MVNOs go live in five business days for standard deployments. The cloud-based BSS platform eliminates hardware procurement and infrastructure installation entirely, removing months from traditional timelines.
Day one validates configuration templates and confirms rate plan structures with customer teams. Day two configures up to five plans with pricing structures, validity periods, and service bundles already tested in the platform. Day three applies branding to invoices and self-care portals using customer logos and color schemes without custom development.
Day four integrates payment gateways, email notifications, and SMS using standard connectors that work out of the box. Pre-built integrations support major payment processors and messaging platforms without custom API development. Day five tests end-to-end subscriber flows from registration through billing and trains operator staff on system usage.
The platform handles single customer types with mobile voice, SMS, and data services on monthly billing cycles. Real-time charging and rating engines process usage immediately, enabling accurate billing without manual reconciliation. Automated provisioning creates subscriber accounts instantly when payments clear, eliminating manual workflows that slow activation.
No hardware procurement, no infrastructure installation delays, no sequential bottlenecks that extend timelines. Operators deploy SaaS BSS with predictable costs and immediate time-to-revenue acceleration.
Business Impact
- Time-to-revenue drops from months to one week for small MVNOs launching with standard configurations
- CAPEX elimination through cloud deployment removes upfront infrastructure investment and hardware refresh cycles
- OPEX reduction of 40% through automated provisioning, real-time rating, and elimination of manual billing reconciliation
- Revenue acceleration as operators monetize subscribers within days of launch instead of waiting quarters for system readiness
- Market responsiveness improves when operators can launch new services or adjust pricing without change request delays
Frequently Asked Questions
What is BSS Now? BSS Now is Alepo’s pre-configured SaaS BSS platform that enables MVNOs to launch in one week instead of months. It includes charging, rating, billing, and self-care modules with standard integrations ready out of the box for immediate deployment.
How does one-week BSS deployment work? Alepo validates configurations on day one, sets up rate plans on day two, applies branding on day three, integrates payment gateways on day four, and completes testing on day five. Pre-provisioned cloud infrastructure eliminates hardware procurement and installation delays entirely.
Can BSS Now support multiple customer types? Initial deployment supports single customer types with voice, SMS, and data services on monthly billing cycles. Multi-segment support, prepaid and postpaid hybrid models, and custom billing cycles can be added as operators scale beyond launch requirements.
What reduces OPEX by 40% with SaaS BSS? Automated provisioning eliminates manual subscriber onboarding work, real-time rating removes billing reconciliation overhead, and cloud infrastructure removes maintenance staff requirements compared to on-premise BSS systems. Operators pay only for active subscribers instead of fixed infrastructure costs.
Does rapid deployment sacrifice customization? BSS Now balances speed with flexibility through pre-configured templates that cover 80% of MVNO requirements. Standard configurations launch in one week, while operators can add custom rating rules, specialized integrations, or unique workflows after going live and generating revenue.
