Business Challenges
The client has a wide network of distributors and various channels through which it sells top ups offline to its customers. Hence, the client required a responsive website through which their users can subscribe for the internet plans or recharge their mobile phone credit online.
The client wanted an efficient system to provide mobile top-up and internet recharge plans and solutions to the US military based in Afghanistan. They required to integrate reliable online payment methods into their system like PayPal and credit card, but their main focus was on integrating the Milstar payment method that is widely used by military personnel. This system allows the US army man to go for easy mobile recharge through various service providers especially ROSHAN.
Solution
In order to provide online recharge service in Afghanistan only to the US military, Brainvire team planned to integrate DEERS authentication system which can restrict the access of the top-up portal only to the US military soldiers based on their identification. We planned to integrate the Milstar payment method which is the most popular mode of online payment for military personnel. Our client wanted to provide popular mobile top-up plans and recharge services and hence, we implemented a special mechanism in our system that allowed the military men to go for Roshan prepaid online recharge in Afghanistan.
As client wanted us to provide easy online recharge services in Afghanistan warzone, Brainvire team developed a mobile recharge website in such way that it could work well even when there is low bandwidth internet availability. While doing online recharge, there is possibility of recharge failure and hence, we developed a feature in the portal to provide that money back to client as well. Apart from this we built a system by which keep constant eye on the availability of the server and if they found that server is down then it will stop providing recharge for that service providers and alert the admin for the same.
