New capacity is coming online. Is the metering ready?

What breaks now

Who this is for. Operators bringing capacity online now, or growing past what they built early. If you already built metering in-house and it works, this page is not for you.

  • Billing gets added after the capacity is live, and the first month is reconstructed by hand.
  • Provider and cloud bills arrive 30 days later.
  • A few customers use most of the compute, and the per-account data to find them is missing.
  • Every price change needs a development cycle.
  • Finance matches provider invoices against customer activity by hand at month end.
  • Margin lands different from the forecast.

What changes

  • PortaAIM meters compute, inference and hosted-model usage per customer as it happens.
  • PortaAIM applies your rate card and your margin per customer, so pricing moves without a release.
  • PortaAIM shows the spend and the margin during the month, not after it closes.
  • PortaAIM runs on the same charging engine as PortaBilling, which bills mobile operators.

How it works. A customer consumes capacity. PortaAIM records the usage against that customer and applies your rate card. The spend and your margin are visible while the month is running.
