Procurement Manager - Completely Manage Telecom Services

Procurement Manager tracks all the moves, adds, changes, and disconnects (MACDs) in an enterprise' telecom environment. It is fully meshed with Inventory Manager. Any change implemented in Procurement Manager, like ordering a new circuit, the consolidation of existing circuits, or a change in an employee cellular phone plan, automatically gets reflected in Inventory Manager. The client gets complete visibility and control from Order placement through installation to validation.

TIMS' TEM Integrated Structure

Invoice Manager - Control Telecom Costs

Invoice Manager enables complete telecom invoice processing. It automates invoice management and chargeback across groups and/or locations within an enterprise. Companies can set up allocation rules for cost centers based on a variety of factors including percentage share, revenues, or spend for various telecom services.

Audit Manager - Reduce Telecom Expenses

Audit Manager allows accurate telecom audits that validate charges for various telecom services and equipment against actual physical circuits, locations, contracts, and more. The client can endorse invoices against existing contracts. Audit Manager also allows the corporate telecom manager electronically to send discrepancy billing tickets to the service providers.

Inventory Manager - Cornerstone to Control Telecom Costs

Inventory Manager creates and maintains a dynamic inventory in a centralized location of all the voice, data, and cellular assets across an enterprise. It is updated automatically with changes made in Procurement Manager to keep it current and accurate. Inventory Manager is subdivided as:

• Employee Module
• Locations Module
• Vendor Module
• Inventory Module

Inventory Manager is the cornerstone for auditing invoices. An accurate inventory is essential for billing management, contract negotiation, and consolidation of non-working underutilized circuits.

Contract Manager - Commitment Level Tracking

Contract Manager provides tools for managing and ensuring compliance with multiple carrier contracts. It tracks monthly spends to correlate commitment levels. The client automatically gets renewal notifications for the contracts near the end of their term.

Report Manager - Enhanced Operational Efficiency

Report Manager generates an extensive array of reports which can be configured to the enterprise's needs. The finance manager needs a set of reports different than an IT manager needs, but all lead to enhanced operational efficiencies. Reporting can be done for chargeback accounting, location breakup charges, circuit and services types, employee cellular equipment, calling plans, pooling optimization, and more.
