Telco Industry Case Study

About the Brand

The brand is one of the largest telecommunications service providers in Asia -connecting over 70 million customers.The company operates a digital mobile telecommunications network based on the GSM standard in the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz frequency bands.

Business Challenges

The brand was using Pitney Bowes Legacy CCM suite for generating utility bills for > 100, 000 customers, segregated in 9 bill cycles. Changing business requirements demanded an automated bill generation mechanism.

• Existing application unable to manage communications for a large customer database, leading to reduced data credibility, 'miss-outs' and communication delays
• Bill cycle execution time was approx. 40 hours, which negatively impacted business performance
• Huge time-consuming manual process of handling promotional/information mailers resulting in postage miss outs, poor customer satisfaction and inefficient customer reach
• Detailed reporting missing - no bar codes to customer bill statements to track physical bill delivery
• Client/admin unable to fetch detailed report of delivered, undelivered or bounce notifications with date
• No solution for multi-channel communications, such as SMS notification and e-bills via email. Customer bills not password protected
