What Datagate does
Datagate Innovation is a cloud-based telecom billing platform built specifically for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Telecom Providers. Founded in 2017 in Auckland, New Zealand, the company operates as a subsidiary of NZX-listed Enprise Group and now runs six offices across the US, Canada, UK, UAE, Australia, and New Zealand. The platform is built on Microsoft Azure and is designed as a "neutral financial system of record" that plugs into — rather than replaces — the existing PSA (ConnectWise Manage, Datto Autotask, HaloPSA, Kaseya BMS), accounting (QuickBooks Online/Desktop, Xero), telecom tax (CCH SureTax, Avalara, CSI, CereTax), and payment (Stripe, Authorize.net, ConnectBooster, Alternative Payments) ecosystems MSPs already use.
The core product surface centers on a Usage Rating Engine that ingests Call Detail Records (CDRs) from carriers and PBX systems via API or SFTP, a White-Labeled End Customer Portal that lets MSPs bill under their own brand, and an automated Tax Calculation Engine handling multi-jurisdiction US and Canadian telecom taxes and surcharges. Datagate also offers bundled offerings (e.g., a QuickBooks Bundle combining billing and accounting), and a recently formalized Partner Program with Referral, Implementation, and Reseller tracks launched at ITEXPO 2026.
Datagate monetizes primarily through SaaS subscription billing to MSPs and telecom providers on a monthly cadence, supplemented by usage-based fees tied to the volume of telecom usage rated and billed through the platform. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company serves hundreds of MSPs and telecom providers globally, with named customers spanning wholesale carriers (SkySwitch, AT&T Partner Exchange), $50M-scale unified communications providers (Connect NZ), and SMB/mid-market MSPs and VoIP resellers across the US, UK, ANZ, and Canada. The company employs 251–500 people and is led by CEO Mark Loveys, with Dr. Jens Neiser (Neiser Capital) as Chairman and Malcolm McDonald as Non-Executive Director.
