Illustrative preview — product in active development

The problem

Small and mid-sized Kenyan ISPs, apartment Wi-Fi operators, and hotspot providers manage billing and router configuration by hand across spreadsheets and router dashboards, with no unified customer or network view.

The approach

LipaNet is a multi-tenant SaaS platform combining customer billing with direct MikroTik router integration, so a subscription change reflects in the network within seconds — not by hand.

Features

Customer management

CRUD, search, and filters across your customer base.

Internet packages

Bandwidth management

Direct control of customer bandwidth via router integration.

Multi-tenant RBAC

Six-role permission system for teams.
