Key Concepts​

Understanding Products vs Services​

This is one of the most important concepts in OmniCRM:

  • Product = A template or offering in your catalog (e.g., "Unlimited Mobile Plan")
  • Service = An active instance of a product for a specific customer (e.g., "John Smith's Unlimited Mobile Plan")

When you provision a product, the system uses Ansible automation to create the actual service(s). One product can create multiple services, no services (configuration only), or modify existing services.

The Provisioning Magic​

OmniCRM's secret sauce is its automated provisioning system:

The playbook handles everything - from creating accounts in CGRateS to configuring routers to sending welcome emails. And if anything fails, it automatically rolls back.

Billing Made Simple​

Every service generates transactions (charges or credits). These are grouped into invoices and sent to customers. With Stripe integration, payments can be processed automatically.

Billing Overview | Payment Processing

Customer Hierarchy​

Customer (ABC Company)
├── Contacts (John Smith - Billing, Jane Doe - Technical)
├── Sites (Head Office, Branch Office)
└── Services
    ├── Internet - Head Office
    ├── Mobile Plan - John Smith
    └── VoIP - Branch Office

Everything is organized hierarchically, making it easy to manage customers with multiple locations and services.
