MACH,
a provider of hub-based mobile communication solutions, announced the launch of
an automated solution that allows mobile operators to compare their wholesale
roaming inter-operator tariffs (IOTs) with interconnect termination
rates.
The
MACH Roaming Margin Analysis (RMA) solution gives operators a clear picture of
the wholesale margins they are making on international roaming, enabling them
to optimise their volume commitments and hence, their roaming business
operations.
Without
a timely means of comparing interconnect termination rates to IOTs, operators
potentially risk losing money on their roaming business. Roaming margin
analysis ensures that operators can quickly align IOTs with interconnect
termination fees.
It
allows them to secure an accurate view of their wholesale roaming margins
across all destinations, without the need for time-consuming manual
calculations or the requirement to try to reconcile disparate data sources.
Understanding the wholesale margins they are
generating on roaming is essential for operators to optimise their business
operations. Traditionally, however, this was either impossible, or the
manual approach required to obtain, analyse and action this information would
take several weeks to complete, during which time operators run the risk of
losing money on their roaming margins,” said Artur Michalczyk, chief product officer
at MACH.
MACH’s
RMA solution benefits operators by helping them to better understand margins on
outbound retail roaming tariffs, thereby assisting in the development of
re-pricing strategies for outbound roaming tariffs. The solution can also be
used by operators as a wholesale revenue assurance audit tool, providing a
reporting capability that can be used to understand both margin and revenue
discrepancies on particular interconnection routes.
