Billing & Asset Lifecycle
KpiX gives platform administrators full control over asset subscription validity - from initial activation to automated expiry enforcement and billing configuration.
Asset Validity Management
Every asset in KpiX has a validity period - the date range during which it is active and billing applies:
- Create validity records for assets with configurable expiry dates
- View the current billing status for every asset in the fleet at a glance
- Manually deactivate an asset's validity at any time (e.g., equipment returned or decommissioned)
Automated Expiry Enforcement
KpiX handles expiry automatically so nothing slips through:
- Assets are automatically disabled once their validity period and grace period have elapsed
- Configurable grace period per application - give customers a buffer before connectivity is cut
- Pre-expiry notification alerts sent to administrators X days before assets expire, giving time to renew
Billing Configuration
For OEMs and platform operators managing multiple customer environments:
- Enable or disable billing enforcement per application independently
- Per-application billing module toggle - useful for internal deployments, PoCs, or accounts with custom billing arrangements
- View total active-device counts per application for billing reconciliation
