Smartbox is a Canadian research and development company focused on developing software solutions for service subscription billing and telecommunications rating and routing management. Smartbox was established in the early 2000s and development its first telecommunication software for the NACT telecom switch. As Telecom moved into the VOIP world Smartbox grew its telecommunication software to handle soft switchs that passed VOIP traffic. The explosion of the internet is allowing more services to be developed and branded for customer but lacking the software to manage these services and to invoice them. Smartbox used its invoicing experience from telecommunications to build a software that would allow the management and invoicing of any subscription service.
