Tariff Expert

What Tariff Expert does

Tariff Expert Pty Ltd is an Australian-headquartered software company that operates a web-based SaaS platform enabling Telecom and Energy Service Providers to upload client billing data, run instant tariff comparisons against their own plans, and generate professionally branded cost-comparison proposals. The platform is positioned as 100% independent and impartial, supports billing data from any Telecoms or Energy Provider globally, and is accessible 24x7x365 through a browser with no software installation required. Its product suite comprises the core Tariff Expert portal (with Cost Comparison and Expense Management functions) plus a Bill Manager add-on module for ongoing per-billing-period expense and cost-centre reporting for clients.

The underlying technology is a rules-based billing ingestion and comparison engine that normalises telecom and energy bills, applies the Service Provider's own tariffs and rate plans, and calculates savings and profit margins per tariff before outputting branded reports. The architecture is deliberately low-friction: a self-serve web portal, no installation requirement, and a contract structure (Terms of Service) under which customers agree to keep their own tariff data current. The company is registered in Australia (ABN 145 027 201), governed by New South Wales law, and maintains a UK contact channel in addition to its Australian headquarters.

The business model is a recurring monthly subscription, with customers paying a system access fee in advance on the 1st of each month and any additional usage-based charges billed in arrears within 14 days; 8% interest applies to overdue amounts, and either party can terminate on three months' written notice. Go-to-market is sales-led, targeting Telecom and Energy Service Providers as primary verticals for both new-customer acquisition (running a prospect's bill against the provider's tariffs) and customer retention (proactive account management and bill review). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and no named customers, partners, awards, or external funding are present in the available source material.
