Top Features

Resellers of used telecom equipment face a volatile marketplace:

• Volatile prices, high product risk; products are worthless unless someone wants them.
• Must process and hold extraordinarily large inventory.
• Dependence on Telecordia cross-references to match customer needs to stock.
• Can’t sell effectively without immediate access to complete purchase and sales history.

The complex relationship between equipment and telecom part numbers makes selling difficult:

• Hard to map customer requests to inventory.
• Creating and maintaining a database of required cross-references is very burdensome.
• Engaging multiple suppliers simultaneously to find parts – in real time – is challenging.

Existing patchwork of software tools (spreadsheets, homemade databases, custom programming) inhibit business growth:

• Standard off-the-shelf ERP systems do not meet the specialized needs of telecom resellers.
• Hand-crafted solutions are difficult to operate and maintain.
• Excel spreadsheets are time-consuming to update.

IQ reseller has built a new automation platform to satisfy the unique needs of the telecom reseller industry.
