What is FibreFlow?
FibreFlow is a full-stack ISP management platform built by Brightsphere Technologies. It contains 325,000+ lines of TypeScript across 47+ operational modules and manages the complete lifecycle of a fibre ISP — from construction QA to customer activation, from network operations to accounting.
It is built for and deployed with a South African fibre ISP, running in full production daily. FibreFlow is not a prototype or an MVP — it is production-grade infrastructure that processes real operations at scale.
The Problem FibreFlow Solves
Running a fibre ISP is operationally complex. Field teams need job management. The NOC needs live network visibility. Finance needs billing and reconciliation. Provisioning needs to talk to field, which needs to talk to construction, which needs to talk to the customer. Most ISPs manage this with a fragmented mix of spreadsheets, off-the-shelf tools, and custom scripts that don't talk to each other.
FibreFlow eliminates that fragmentation. Every operational function lives in a single platform, with a single data model, and a single source of truth.
The 47+ Modules
FibreFlow's modular architecture covers every function of ISP operations:
NOC — Network Operations Centre
Live network visibility, incident management, alert routing, and escalation workflows.
Field Operations
Job dispatch, technician scheduling, GPS tracking, and completion verification.
Accounting & Billing
Subscription management, invoice generation, payment processing, and reconciliation.
Subscriber Provisioning
Automated service activation, bandwidth management, and equipment configuration.
Construction QA
Site inspection workflows, photo evidence capture, sign-off chains, and compliance tracking.
Customer Activation
End-to-end onboarding from contract signing to live connection, with automated status updates.
Infrastructure Management
Asset tracking, maintenance scheduling, capacity planning, and equipment lifecycle.
Reporting & Analytics
Operational dashboards, KPI tracking, SLA monitoring, and executive reporting.
The Technology Stack
FibreFlow is built on a modern, AI-native stack designed for reliability and scale:
- Next.js 14+ (App Router) — Full-stack React framework with server components, streaming, and edge-ready architecture
- PostgreSQL via Neon — Serverless PostgreSQL with branching, instant scaling, and zero cold starts
- Redis via Upstash — Serverless Redis for caching, real-time pub/sub, and rate limiting
- BullMQ — Robust job queue for background processing, scheduled tasks, and event-driven workflows
- Playwright — End-to-end testing and automation across the full platform surface
The Build: 12 Months, 3,000+ Commits
FibreFlow was built over 12 months by the Brightsphere Technologies team, accumulating 3,000+ commits on a single repository. This represents one of the most intensive sustained engineering efforts by a small team in South African tech.
The development philosophy was engineering from first principles — no bloated off-the-shelf ISP software, no vendor lock-in, no compromise on user experience. Every module was designed to be fast, reliable, and maintainable.
Why It Matters for ISPs
South Africa's fibre market is growing rapidly. Established players and new entrants are competing for subscribers, and operational efficiency is a key differentiator. ISPs that can provision faster, resolve incidents faster, and manage construction projects more accurately win market share.
FibreFlow gives ISPs the operational infrastructure to scale without operational chaos. It's the difference between running your ISP on spreadsheets and running it on a purpose-built platform.
