Aware of this complexity, Matooma has designed its platform as a one-stop shop: the manager has access to all the SIM cards of his connected objects within the same interface.
IoT technology is complicated enough: imposing additional hurdles would be counterproductive, wouldn't it?

4. All operators on one bill
Let's assess the potential for management errors with a simple calculation:
- multiply the number of subscriptions by the number of operators,
- multiply the result by the number of SIM cards,
- multiply the result by the number of callers.
To avoid this, Matooma makes the manager's job as easy as possible, with a single invoice that includes billing for all subscriptions with all operators, regardless of the number of M2M SIM cards connected.
The content of these invoices is also ergonomically designed to be as easy to read and understand as possible.
