    Procurement and supply chain

    Dominant manufacturers of connected devices and smart phones, along with strong brand awareness amongst customers, are shifting the balance of power in procurement and supply chains. 

    Generating procurement advantages, while at the same time facing strong competition in the area of network equipment, requires the development of an extraordinary strategy process. There are numerous factors that have to be considered to do this. First, there’s the redesign and optimization of procurement and supply chain organizations, and the setup of global bundling organizations with efficient processes and clear interfaces. It also involves the creation of new formats for cooperation and negotiation, and producing sustainable cost reduction concepts, as well as the precise execution of price benchmarks for connected devices. Then you have to factor in network equipment, IT and supporting services. These are areas in which we act confidently, because our experts have been doing these things for many years. In essence, we have what it takes to successfully implement the necessary changes to your procurement processes and supply chain.

    Retail, sales & service

    The key to a successful relationship between companies and consumers often lies in the customers’ experience of dealing with a company. 

    Telecommunications providers are now faced with the major challenge of adapting to changed market and customer requirements. The phrase ‘consumer journey’ strongly suggests customers must have positive experiences through all channels and during all phases when dealing with a company. 

    One of our tasks lies in optimizing your sales and distribution strategies, as well as associated controlling mechanisms, to improve your portfolio of connected devices and accessories. Or it could be that we work with you to redesign the customer experience and connected measures to positively intensify customer relationships in all sales channels.

    New business models and strategies
