Managing the day-to-day of an organization’s fixed and mobile communications inventory is like trying to hit a moving target in the middle of a hurricane. Inventory is in a perpetual state of flux, with new orders and moves, adds, changes, and disconnects (MACD) to existing inventory  continually changing the landscape, making it a challenge to stay accurate and tie expenses back to the appropriate cost centers or users.

CommCare clients benefit from technology-driven services that allow fixed and mobile inventory to reside in one centralized database with each item linked to the corresponding contracted rate and audit, usage, spend, and activity data available down to the individual item level. CommCare ensures that organizations actually pay for what they are using by tracking changes to products, rates, and activities, alerting clients to under and non-utilized inventory, products, and services, and validating inventory against invoices and contracts.

Over thirty different types of telecom inventory equipment and services can be tracked, (including lines, trunks, circuits, mobile phones, PDAs, calling cards, air cards, ATM, MPLS, rings, routers, etc.

Inventory management provides:

• A single, enterprise-wide repository of inventory by contact, cost center, entity, and employee
• Automatic tracking of changes to each attribute (profiles, products, rates, monthly activities)
• Alerts for under/non-utilized inventory, products, and services
• Better planning and management of company-wide products and services
