How does Powercode help for IP ?
I thought, its only the billing manager.
Powercode runs the DHCP server, your invoicing, customer payments, client portal, limits your customers to their plan speeds, counts the data, runs your ticketing system, monitors customer radios and signal levels, and everything else. Its the complete software solution to running an ISP. All this stuff you need - and so rather than using a bunch of different opensource or "cheap" systems that are not integrated.
Once you get to about 250 customers, different back end systems become difficult to manage. Eg. you need to set up an account for your customer in your radius server, ticketing system, dhcp or ip reservation, radio monitoring system etc. Its much easier to use a single system that is designed to do it all.
And if after 12 months you expect to have 2000 customers, then you would be switching to powercode approx 2 months in. So you might as well start with powercode from day 1
