MACH wins Telstra Vendor Award for Re-pricing Solution
Commenting on the implementation, Ian Wheatley, Telstra’s Procurement Director, said: “MACH has created a solution which has automated what was once a time-consuming and inefficient manual process, while at the same time providing our customers with certainty of their call costs, prior to making a call – a great simple technical innovation that translates into an immediate customer benefit. This is the type of innovation we value from our suppliers.”
Telstra implemented MACH Re-pricing in January 2005 after a three month workshop-driven planning period with MACH in which a series of simulations based on Telstra’s live roaming data were used to define the optimal solution.
“We have worked with Telstra since they launched service in 1995 and we are delighted that our Re-pricing solution has proved such an effective business enhancement tool for a highly-valued client”, said Terence Ledger, General Manager, MACH Asia Pacific.
With MACH’s Re-pricing solution, mobile operators use price as a flexible parameter in marketing and communication in order to make subscribers feel more comfortable about using their phones abroad. With efficient simulation tools, MACH provides fast, detailed and accurate analysis of roaming business development as a consequence of different pricing strategies. These simulations give the possibility to define tariffs which optimise roaming revenue and avoid losses, providing a unique management and decision tool.
MACH Re-pricing also offers operators the ability to outsource the implementation, operation and updates of flexible new roaming tariffs which can be used as important differentiators and to establish new competitive parameters in the market.
