Outstaffing beats direct hiring for pay-per-view billing automation
Skip the six-month recruitment marathon and tap into an on-demand bench of senior Python engineers who have already built consumption-based invoicing for OTT, SaaS and telecom giants. You pay only for productive hours; we shoulder payroll, equipment, retention, and continuous upskilling. Contracts stay flexible—scale the squad up for a product launch, ramp down after peak traffic.
Quality stays uncompromised: every developer passes multistage vetting, live coding, and domain interviews. Your intellectual property is shielded by NDAs and segregated infrastructure. With an assigned success manager and overlapping time-zones, onboarding completes in days, letting your core team focus on roadmap instead of hiring paperwork.
What Technical Leaders Say
Our OTT platform needed real-time invoices. Smartbrain’s Python squad wired a usage-based pricing engine into our microservices in two weeks, lifting billing accuracy to 99.8 % and boosting developer velocity 30 %. The embedded engineers felt like part of our team from day one.
Carla Mitchell
CTO
MediaStream Networks
Smartbrain supplied two senior Python devs who refactored our event-driven billing pipeline. Deployment cut invoice cycle time by 65 % and freed in-house staff for roadmap work. Vetting was rigorous; onboarding finished in 48 h—unheard-of in telecom.
Victor Hayes
Engineering Director
BlueWave Telecom
We monetize shoppable video ads. Their Python experts automated consumption metrics, syncing with Stripe and NetSuite. Revenue leakage dropped by ₵0.00 per view, and finance closed books two days faster. Flexible month-to-month deal kept CFO happy.
Jessica Lee
VP Product
ShopStream Inc.
Smartbrain’s augmented team rebuilt our pay-as-you-go invoicing microservice in Python & FastAPI. Error rate fell from 3 % to under 0.2 %. Their grasp of compliance and encryption saved weeks of audits.
Andrew Collins
Head of Platform
LedgerFlow Finance
High-frequency bidding overloaded our old metering logic. Two Smartbrain engineers introduced async Python workers and Redis. Throughput jumped 4×, latency sliced 38 %. We kept them for another sprint without paperwork drama.

Industries We Serve
OTT & Streaming
Python-powered pay per view billing automation keeps live and VOD platforms profitable. Developers instrument playback events, build usage aggregation microservices, integrate DRM triggers, and push real-time invoices to Stripe or Recurly—handling millions of viewers without dropped data.
Online Publishing
Metered-paywall newsrooms rely on Python augmentation to track article views, convert usage into micropayments, and synchronize entitlement across web & mobile. Automated billing unlocks new revenue streams while editors focus on content, not code.
Cloud SaaS
SaaS vendors adopt consumption-based monetization. Augmented Python devs parse API calls, pump metrics into Prometheus, and trigger invoice generation via usage-based pricing engines, ensuring accurate, scalable pay per view billing automation.
Telecom
From call detail records to video add-ons, telcos need low-latency Python pipelines that batch terabytes of events into billable units. Outstaffed specialists optimize Kafka streams, guarantee 5-nines accuracy, and comply with carrier-grade SLAs.
IoT & Telematics
Sensors emit billions of packets. Augmented Python engineers transform raw telemetry into PPV charges, leveraging MQTT, Edge Lambda, and secure tokenization, driving predictable revenue for fleet and smart-city operators.
FinTech & Banking
Banks rolling out pay per use APIs turn to Python devs for cryptography-safe event aggregation, anti-fraud logic, and SOX-ready invoicing reports—all delivered under stringent governance.
eLearning Platforms
Course providers monetise by lesson view. Python augmentation enables granular tracking, adaptive pricing tiers, and automatic invoicing, freeing educators from back-office complexities.
Sports Betting
Live odds streams translate to micro-transactions per view. Our developers craft resilient Python services that meter user sessions, enforce jurisdiction rules, and settle payments in near-real-time.
AdTech
Impression-level finances demand millisecond accuracy. Augmented specialists build asyncio-driven counters, deduplicate events, and push invoices, safeguarding margins for ad exchanges.
Pay Per View Billing Automation Case Studies
Streaming Giant Cuts Revenue Leakage
Client: US-based OTT leader with 40 M subscribers.
Challenge: Existing system failed to scale pay per view billing automation during peak sports events.
Solution: A three-person augmented Python squad refactored the metering service into async microservices, optimized PostgreSQL partitioning, and linked to Chargebee. They collaborated daily via Slack and delivered production code in five weeks.
Result: 99.8 % billing accuracy, 35 % latency reduction, and an additional $3.2 M captured annually from previously missed views.
Telecom Monetizes Video Add-Ons
Client: Regional mobile carrier expanding 5G video bundles.
Challenge: Needed real-time pay per view billing automation across heterogeneous legacy BSS.
Solution: Four Smartbrain Python experts implemented Kafka ingestion, Spark aggregation, and FastAPI endpoints that feed the carrier’s SAP-based invoicing. Close cooperation with in-house architects ensured smooth deployment.
Result: 68 % faster billing cycles and $1.1 M annual OPEX savings.
EdTech Scales Usage-Based Pricing
Client: Global eLearning platform with 1 M daily active users.
Challenge: Legacy subscription model couldn’t track per-video usage; pay per view billing automation was mandatory for enterprise deals.
Solution: Two senior Python contractors built Lambda Functions capturing player events, stored metrics in DynamoDB, and issued invoices through Zuora APIs. Continuous integration kept releases weekly.
Result: Revenue per user climbed 22 %; onboarding of new enterprise clients dropped from eight weeks to 10 days.
