THE CHALLENGE

Wholesale Run on Email and Spreadsheets

Telin’s wholesale business ran the way most Tier-1 carriers still do: bilateral negotiations, manual rate sheets and weeks-long interconnects. The team spent more time on operations than on strategy, and growth was capped by how many deals people could handle.

4-8 weeks per interconnect

Every new carrier meant paperwork, technical testing and SBC configuration before a single call could flow.

Rates by email

Rate comparisons meant sending spreadsheets back and forth, so prices were out of date the moment they landed.

Manual reconciliation

Billing depended on matching CDRs by hand, which left room for disputes at every month end.

Growth by trade show

New partners came from events and cold outreach, and every buyer question needed a person to answer it.

The goal: move from a manual, relationship-driven model to a digital, marketplace-driven one, with a fully branded exchange that runs 24/7 with minimal human intervention.

THE SOLUTION

A Branded Exchange, Built on tcxcONE

Telin chose TCXC to power NeuTRAFIX. Unlike SaaS-only platforms, tcxcONE is a complete white-label wholesale exchange with full source code access, so Telin can customize and extend it without depending on a vendor.

Carrier-grade SBC

Automated SIP and SMPP interconnect provisioning via Elastic SIP Trunking, cutting setup from weeks to minutes.

Real-time billing

Per-second voice billing, per-message SMS charging and automated CDR reconciliation, so manual disputes disappear.

Self-service portal

Buyers search rates, compare carriers, interconnect and manage traffic without waiting for anyone to approve it.

Programmable APIs

A full REST API for the marketplace, interconnect and billing, plus the MCP Server for AI-powered operations.
