A Global Leader in USSD Providing Consistently Superior Solutions
USSD enables real-time, session-based communication, establishing a direct and persistent connection between the user’s mobile phone and a service provider’s application server. The session-oriented nature of USSD is particularly advantageous for interactive services such as mobile banking and menu-driven self-service applications, particularly for time-sensitive transactions in environments with limited network resources. USSD capabilities are supported on over 99% of mobile devices.

MenuBuilder Service Creation Environment
TruTeq’s USSD MenuBuilder is a a powerful, browser-based, drag-and-drop menu editor and Service Creation Environment that allows for the creation of new USSD applications in a very short time using predefined building blocks.
More than just a menu editor
MenuBuilder integrates to a number of core systems: OCS/OFCS for billing, GGSN or Radius proxy for IP information, marketing databases, subscriber profile databases, mobile money systems, etc. These integrations can then be used to build sophisticated self-service applications.
Dynamic USSD
Dynamic Menus can be presented according to customer profile and other factors such as history of past use, location (can be used with TruTeq’s LBS solution), subscriber type, airtime balance / wallet balance etc,
Track Record
Not only do our customers use MenuBuilder; it is also used internally by TruTeq developers to build complex services such as the USSD front-end for mobile money services (like M-Pesa), mobile banking, operator self-service menus for large MNOs, etc.
Developer Tools
TruTeq’s USSD MenuBuilder offers the necessary developer tools required for mission critical services:
- Version management, tracked changes and roll-backs, audit trail of changes.
- Expanded deployment capabilities, management and deployment to multiple environments such as Development, QA, Production, etc.
- Concurrent Development allows services to be maintained by a development team.
USSD Solutions
SmartBridge
Easily extend existing USSD services to other bearers such as mobile applications, web/mobi sites and cross-platform messaging applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or Google RCS
Re-use Integrations, save costs and time
Integrations and service logic are completed once, but can then be deployed simultaneously to multiple service channels. A highly cost-effective means of launching smartphone-based services to your customer base.
Extend Services
All capabilities and features of the TruTeq USSD environment such as location-based services, billing integrations, subscriber profile integrations, etc. can be made available via smartphone channels.
Security
Security is critical in the SmartBridge deployment. Since access is IP-based, customers must always be reliably and securely identified when accessing a service. TruTeq offers a number of options to ensure security.
Standalone Smartbridge also available
Smartbridge was originally developed for customers wanting to extend their USSD services to other channels, but the capability to integrate to cross-platform messaging applications can also be used without any parallel USSD services.
Services will be built via MenuBuilder, integrations will be done via TruTeq’s API Gateway and deployed to a customer’s environment.
