Some salient features of the platform include:-

Proven & trusted by infrastructure intensive enterprises globally

Agile framework to quickly build, configure and deploy enterprise applications

Web based architecture for cost effective business process automation

Rich and easy to use interfaces for high productivity and quick adoption

Implement “One-Team” mission using a centralised application. The end-to-end rollout and maintenance process management/collaboration enables you to configure multiple processes based on project type with different SLAs. The hierarchy for activities can be created based on defined regions, providing rollout plans, O&M audits, reporting and structures at regional levels.

Streamlined project rollouts coupled with Location manager ensure increased speed to market. Milestone based project & SLA management help you create a transparent, swift and agile rollout process. Automated workflows ensure transparent communication between stakeholders so delays in the process can quickly be highlighted, as a result business can respond quickly to market trends. Site finder application improves time to market directly as your central e-business channel.

Save cost & overheads by tracking & auditing power, fuel consumption and outage. ‘Just in Time’ planning ensures all ‘shrinkage/theft’ is managed and accounted for, throughout the delivery/build process via the automated infrastructure management and rollout process. An approximate 4 – 6% of revenues of a company are spent on power/fuel costs of infrastructure. The Indian telecom industry, for e.g., is said to be spending around US $1 billion on fuel, and same amount for rentals and security.

Bridge the gap between data in the system and data in reality with mobile workforce application for field staff. The application helps seamless remote job allocation for site or infrastructure audits and health checks. The field force captures the latest data and equipment details through geo-tagged images and simple checklist forms, which keeps your system updated with the latest site data in real time.
