Operators and Infrastructure Companies can SAVE TIME and CUT COSTS through automated management of site roll out, maintenance and sharing processes to:
-
Achieve reduced opex and capex, increased revenues, and lower costs of rollouts: Sharing leads to faster rollout for new entrants or expansion, opex and capex savings of 15% to 35%. Combat sharply rising site rentals through effective sharing process. Multiple tenancy ensures that low costs during expansion and upgrades, buoyed by commercial considerations of revenue generation. The telecom industry, in India alone, is expecting capex savings of USD 8 – 13 billion in 4 years through sharing. Also, it expects opex savings of USD 1 billion per annum.
-
Reduce operational costs and drive efficiency: Save cost & overheads by tracking & audit power, and fuel consumption & outage. ‘Just in Time’ planning ensures all ‘shrinkage/theft’ is managed and account for throughout the delivery/build process via the automated asset management and rollout process. An approximate 4 – 6% of revenues of a company are spent on power/fuel costs of towers. The Indian industry, for eg, is said to be spending around US $1 billion on fuel, and same amount for rentals and security. Achieve significant cost savings, quicker service to market, earn revenues.
-
Preventive Maintenance & Outage Management: Reduce overheads and cost via ensuring 99.9% uptime of sites via Site Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance & Outage Management. The tool helps you track outages, diesel usage and benchmarking of EB/Diesel consumption per site and circle wise. Control your costs, minimise downtime and maximise value from your assets.
-
Achieve effective infrastructure resource management through Compliance, Documentation, Process, Competency, and Ownership. For effective asset utilisation, one of the things operators need is an automatic process that helps them maintain transparent and regular communication wit the landlord, and the community and stakeholders.
-
Improve Asset Utilisation/Management: One asset list across your company – Avoid downtime and penalties by tracking asset warranties and scheduled maintenance. You can realise the ‘value’ of your portfolio through timely assets management from the rollout phase right through to upgrades and what seeker’s equipment is on your site. Configurable asset register at rollout stage integrates with your warehouse SCM module, so you know ‘what assets’ are required when.
-
Standardise Business Processes: Implement “One-Team” mission using a centralised application. The end-to-end rollout and sharing process management/collaboration enables you to configure multiple processes based on rollout site type and customer with different SLAs using ‘Project Rollout Scheduler’ and site rollout process management. The hierarchy for project rollout can be crated based on regional circles, providing rollout plans, reporting and structures at regional circle levels. Benefit from outsourcing of all functions except core sales, marketing and business development.
-
Improve Quality Management: Improve quality of operations via standardisation and control. The Workflow Management automates standardised processes and improves communications through a transparent audit trail.
-
Increase efficiencies through better Time Management: Complete projects within timelines defined by the clients with SLA-driven milestones & workflow processes, and gain the trust of your customers by having built in service level management and transparency.
-
Perform Just-In-Time Planning Strategising: Save money with ‘Just in Time’ planning, through planning your rollout and assets and achieve cost savings from your suppliers, as equipment is required. This planning ensures all ‘shrinkage/theft’ is managed and account for throughout the delivery/build process via the automated asset management and rollout process.
-
Plan and implement effective Resource Mobilisation & Work Allocation: Increase efficiency & reduce overtime/shortage with proper manpower requisition & work allocation with the help of Project Management. Simplified Outsourcing of the site share process tasks is available by ensuring the entire project information is stored in a central system. You can change suppliers as and when required and accurately track their performance.
-
Ensure reduced Time to Market: Automate workflow and ensure transparent communication between your customers so delays in the process can quickly be highlighted. Reduce pressure on margins due to market-driven voice pricing trends. Increase the percentage of sales or sharing via the Site Finder e-Business Sales Channel for share customers. Due to the ease of use of eQuickLooks, in the UK, one of every three eQuickLooks converts into an actual share.*
-
Achieve Regulatory Compliance: Avoid penalties by complying with regulation and laws. While rolling out sites, built-in alerts allow you to manage regulatory compliance tasks. Overcome clearance bottlenecks related to regulatory and environmental restrictions.
-
Improve Transparency and communication: With tracked and audited email, comments & attachments, there is greater transparency and accountability, helping you reduce disputes during a rollout and share process with all communication (email, comments and attachments) tracked and audited on the system.
-
Cut costs through Centralised Data Management available at a single click: Save costs by eliminating duplication of work in different departments. You have the ability to add multiple attachments e.g. drawings, terms, landlord information against any rollout site/project; providing a virtual folder of documentation against all rollout/site share projects. Make all information auditable and secure. Safe document storage via on-line attachments of drawings, site costs, contacts etc. Get the knowledge advantage with data mining of crucial information presented through customised & automated reports and dashboards.
-
Save time through Automated Reporting: All reports can be scheduled and sent to key people, stakeholders or managers, automating the reporting process. Graphical Dashboards help you measure the rollout and shared process milestones. Dashboards can be configured by user or group with key SLA metrics available.
