Connect, bill, and grow.

Centipid works as one loop. Routers and subscribers come online. Each connection is invoiced against the package it pays for. Campaigns then bring in the next customer.

FIG 0.1

Connect

You add your routers once. Then every customer goes online on PPPoE or Hotspot. RADIUS applies each package's speed and expiry, so network access follows the account.

FIG 0.2

Earn

Each customer is billed on their plan. Their payments reconcile to their account. A confirmed payment renews the subscriber and reconnects them automatically.

FIG 0.3

Expand

SMS and WhatsApp campaigns and captive portal promotions help you grow your customer base. Your billing data picks out which subscribers to reach.
