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.
