Case Study
300% Revenue Growth for a WiFi Hotspot Business in K-Road Kiambu County
The Starting Point
A small ISP in Ruiru town operated a manual hotspot business using a MikroTik router with basic vouchers. Customers had to physically buy scratch cards from a shop – no online payment. Revenue leakage was high (staff fraud, expired vouchers not recorded), and the owner had no real‑time data on usage.
Our Solution – JNGlobal Hotspot Billing System (Enhanced Nuxbill)
We deployed a cloud‑based billing system (on DigitalOcean VPS) with:
- M‑PESA STK push & Paybill – customers top up from their phones 24/7
- Auto‑renewal packages – monthly plan deducts automatically from balance
- Voucher management – printable scratch cards for cash customers
- FreeRADIUS + MikroTik integration – seamless authentication
- WhatsApp/Telegram alerts to admin – every top‑up and new user registration
- Real‑time dashboard – active users, usage graphs, revenue per day
- Multi‑router support – the business later expanded to 3 routers, all managed from one login
Implementation took 2 weeks (including hardware reconfigure and staff training).
Tangible Results
- 📈 Monthly revenue: KES 50,000 → KES 200,000 (300% increase)
- 👥 Active subscribers: from 80 to over 300 within 6 months
- ⏱️ Admin time: reduced from 4 hours/day to 30 minutes (auto everything)
- 🔐 Zero revenue leakage – every top‑up is recorded and reconciled with M‑PESA statements
- 📱 Customer satisfaction: 24/7 self‑service top‑ups reduced support calls by 80%
