PAV Telecoms has played a pivotal role in South Africa’s telecommunications landscape for over two decades, distributing millions of starter packs for Vodacom, MTN, Cell C, and Telkom Mobile and consistently ranking among the top five distributors and activators for both Vodacom and MTN. For nearly eighteen years, Netgen has been delivering custom telecommunications software and support to PAV. Our long-standing partnership is built on a foundation of bespoke solutions tailored to the rapidly evolving needs of a business operating in the telecommunications industry.
Custom telecommunications software that scales with growth
Netgen has designed and implemented a suite of systems, including:
- Bulk airtime systems
- Android and smart terminal applications
- USSD applications, empowering PAV customers and retailers to sell airtime
As PAV expanded its offerings, Netgen seamlessly integrated new services into their systems. Today, these terminals support the vending of:
- Pinned and pinless airtime
- Electricity and DSTV vouchers
- Maboneng WiFi
Furthermore, we are currently testing a new version, due to release soon, that will be able to supply Lotto tickets.
Comprehensive hosting and ongoing support
Beyond software development, Netgen provides full hosting and operational support for PAV’s servers and databases, managing day-to-day system maintenance to ensure reliability and uptime. This support model means that PAV can focus on growth, knowing that their systems are secure, efficient and continuously optimised.
Driving innovation through collaboration
This eighteen-year journey exemplifies the value of custom telecommunications software, particularly the way tailored solutions can grow and adapt with your business. From airtime vending to vouchers and WiFi, the partnership demonstrates how bespoke software can enable ongoing innovation and service diversification. It also shows the strength of a relationship built on trust and collaboration. Netgen and PAV have proven how technology partners can play a central role in helping businesses expand their services, enhance the customer experience, and remain competitive in a fast-changing digital marketplace.
