Merge those billing data bases, and keep them running even if the data changes.
Some companies have been working for years to bring together disparate billing systems. As service offerings are added new systems are formed to "temporarily" bill the client. Or, maybe you're merging with another provider and need to gain some cost and revenue synergies by upselling into your new customer base. In each instance, you're probably leaking revenue and certainly not fully exploiting your customer base.
TeraMatch® does two things for you:
- It identifies the similar records between an infinite number of data bases
- S3's inventory management application provides an automated workflow to correct and accept records with a full audit trail
TeraMatch® is set up as a "reference" data base during the reconcilation/merger process so that current transaction systems can continue to operate for you. As records are identified and corrected, the production systems are updated--all with proper authorization, of course.
Such a simple question: "How many circuits do I have and where are they?"
Most companies don’t know. Not really. Because periodic physical audits only create a snapshot. But that database becomes obsolete almost as soon as it’s created. Obsolete and broken processes mean things have changed. Almost overnight.
TeraMatch® automatically tracks those changes. And that includes routers, PBXs, or PCs. TeraMatch® vastly accelerates the reconciliation process of establishing an inventory database. And once it’s validated, the inventory stays up-to-date with automated exception reconciliation. Records entered with human error are either corrected or identified as an exception.
Keep your existing databases and systems
That's right, you get to keep your current databases and order systems. TeraMatch® enables the matching of databases with different formats, on a continual basis. So when the TeraMatch® inventory is created, it will not only stay accurate automatically but it will update your existing databases.
But TeraMatch® does more than just conduct a precise inventory. TeraMatch® also electronically matches the inventory database to vendor invoices and pending orders. Every month. That means exceptions are noted immediately. And exceptions are corrected each and every day. For example, the TeraMatch® platform contains a geocoder, so addresses are normalized across all data and exceptions are automatically corrected before being written to the inventory database.
Edit a production inventory with absolute integrity with embedded workflow
When inventory records need to be changed how can you ensure that only one person is editing the record at a time? How can you ensure that the person has modified the record correctly and with the proper authorization? S3 Inventory Management includes a rigorous electronic workflow so that there's an audit trail of who edited a record, why, and when. Ultimate change management.
Let TeraMatch® manage your company’s inventory. For optimal performance. And profit.
