One picture, many decisions.

Spend less, act sooner and waste less, across every team that touches the network.

Spend less

  • Reuse before you buy

    Do we already own this part somewhere?

    Illustrative network

    • Stock you already hold
    • Sites asking for that part
    • Request filled from your own stock

    Illustrative network

    • Stock you already hold
    • Sites asking for that part
    • Request filled from your own stock

    Fill new demand from equipment you already hold, including drop-in equivalents, and see where each part model can be reused across the network.

    What arrives
    A weekly alert when a new request could be filled from your own stock, and a quarterly reuse plan.
    What it needs
    Your stock, your requests and your installed equipment.

  • Put idle stock back to work

    Which warehouse holds stock nobody is using?

    • Warehouse holding idle stock
    • Sites with an order it could fill
    • Stock it could send

    Find stock that has sat unused, roll-out kit that never reached a site, and removed equipment that never made it back into stock.

    What arrives
    A quarterly report of idle stock by age, and monthly alerts for stock that has stalled or gone missing between site and warehouse.
    What it needs
    Your warehouse stock, roll-out plans and records of equipment removed from sites.

    Most useful for

  • Hold the right spares

    Do we hold enough spares for what actually fails?

    Illustrative network

    • Spares warehouse
    • Below safe cover
    • Sites each one keeps running

    Keep enough spares for what actually fails, and no more, counted across every drop-in equivalent rather than one part number at a time.

    What arrives
    A weekly alert when spares fall below safe cover, and a quarterly review of how much to hold.
    What it needs
    Your spares stock and your fault or replacement records.

Act sooner

  • Catch rising failure rates

    Illustrative network

    • Failing more than usual
    • Connected and understood

    Spot a part model failing more often than its usual rate, faults clustering on your most important sites, or the same unit coming back again and again.

    What arrives
    Weekly alerts, only when something has changed.
    What it needs
    Your fault or replacement records and your installed equipment.

    • Sites losing support next year
    • Connected and understood

    See which equipment reaches the end of its maker's support, which is getting harder to repair, and which stock you hold for technology you're phasing out.

    What arrives
    A quarterly report, ranked by how much of your network is affected.
    What it needs
    Your installed equipment, plus repair records if you have them.

    Which warranties end this quarter?

    Illustrative month

    Claim what you're owed before it expires, and catch equipment whose warranty never properly started because its arrival on site wasn't confirmed.

    What arrives
    A monthly report of warranties ending in the next 90 days, and a monthly alert for unconfirmed arrivals.
    What it needs
    Your installed equipment with install dates, and your dispatch and arrival records.

  • Spot surplus before its value fades

    What are we holding that nobody needs?

    Illustrative weeks

    Find stock with no demand anywhere, and stock losing value faster than it costs to keep, while there's still value to recover.

    What arrives
    A quarterly report, and an alert when a line's value is falling fast.
    What it needs
    Your stock with its age, and your requests.

Your question isn’t here? Describe it in plain words.

Tell us what you need to know. We’ll tell you up front whether your data can answer it, and what’s missing if it can’t.

Which sites still run equipment we stopped buying three years ago?

Can your data answer it?

  • Equipment at every site
  • What you bought, and when
  • Each model, matched across your systems
  • Purchase dates for 3 sites: missing. We’ll show you which.

Yes, it can.

In a pilot with Safaricom, published by GSMA Foundry, our part matching showed operators could stock 62% fewer part types, save 55% by reusing matched equivalent parts and cut CO₂ by 60%.
