Welcome to SmartBill Solution
Smart solutions. Seamless billing.
Your customers pay by M-Pesa. Your routers open by themselves. SmartBill runs the whole loop for a WiFi business — the captive portal, the payment, the voucher, and the MikroTik configuration behind it. No spreadsheets, and nobody sitting up at night switching people on.
See it work
This is the real sequence, at real speed — the portal your customer sees on the left, and what SmartBill says to your MikroTik on the right. Pick a package.
Choose how long you'd like to be online.
All in one place
Invoicing, payments, subscribers, reporting and the network itself — one system, one login, one set of books. Nothing to reconcile between tools at the end of the month.
Every subscription raises its own invoice the moment it is created — numbered, dated, and tied to the package that produced it. Nobody types one.
Every M-Pesa transaction is matched to the subscriber and the subscription it paid for. You can answer "did this person pay?" from the dashboard, not from an SMS inbox.
Who is connected, on which router, on what package, with how many devices, and when their time runs out. Block a handset and it leaves the network, not just the record.
Revenue by package, by router and by site. Data used per subscriber. Failed connection attempts and the reason for each. The numbers come from the same rows that granted the access.
Runs on your own server or ours, reached over encrypted tunnels to routers that sit behind CGNAT. Backed up nightly, before any change is applied.
What it does
Most small providers lose money in the gap — a subscriber pays and waits for someone to notice, or their time runs out and nobody switches them off. SmartBill closes that gap and keeps it closed.
A customer picks a package on your portal and enters their number. The M-Pesa prompt reaches their phone, and the moment it clears, their access opens and their code is issued. Every transaction is reconciled against the subscription that paid for it — so an abandoned prompt never quietly becomes free internet.
SmartBill speaks RouterOS directly. It creates the hotspot user or the PPPoE secret, applies the speed profile the package was sold at, and writes the expiry onto the router itself — so time runs out on the hardware, not just in the database. If a router is briefly unreachable it retries, and tells you if it still can't.
Packages carry a device allowance, and it is counted against who is actually online rather than every phone that ever connected. A customer who changes handset isn't locked out; a code being passed around a room is. Devices can be blocked outright, and a blocked handset is disconnected, not just recorded.
Live sessions, data used, revenue by package, which router each subscriber is on, and every device that failed to connect and why. Routers are polled continuously — when one drops, subscribers move to another and the move is recorded rather than discovered later from complaints.
How it works
Your branded portal opens on their phone, showing your packages at your prices. Each site can carry its own name and look.
The M-Pesa prompt arrives on the number they entered. Nothing is granted until the payment actually confirms.
The account is created on the hardware with the right speed profile and the right expiry, and the customer receives their code.
When the package expires the session ends and the account is removed — on the router, not merely in a report. Renewing puts them straight back on.
On the network right now
Every session on your dashboard is somebody in the middle of something. SmartBill's job is that none of them waits on you to be switched on.
Buys small and buys often. The whole transaction has to work on the first tap, because there is nobody at the desk to ask.
Sells to whoever walks in. A package good for three devices has to mean three — not one, and not the whole street.
Everyone behind one router, sharing the speed that was bought. Expiry has to cut the line at the hardware, or the month never ends.
Who it's for
Selling hours, days and weeks of WiFi at a shopping centre, a hostel, an estate or a trading centre. Vouchers, device limits and automatic cut-off included.
PPPoE subscribers on monthly packages, each household sharing one session across their own devices, with the speed you sold enforced at the router.
More than one tower, more than one router, and a need for a single dashboard, one set of books, and subscribers who move between sites without losing access.
