Introduction
In the rapidly evolving telecommunications industry, managing leased-line inventory has become a significant challenge for many companies. With the expansion of networks and the corresponding increase in equipment and labour costs, efficient and cost-effective infrastructure investments are more crucial than ever. This blog post will discuss how TTG’s customers are leveraging NET-TRANS, a robust network inventory management software, to streamline their leased-line management and realize substantial OPEX or CAPEX benefits.
The Problem
Imagine a company with thousands of leased-lines, incurring costs in the millions every month, all managed via spreadsheets or other semi-structured, unreliable, and unformatted storage methods. This scenario, unfortunately, is a strong indication that the company is losing money, possibly thousands, each month. The only way to significantly reduce, if not eradicate, this loss is through a software system that meticulously tracks inventory.
The Solution: NET-TRANS
Recognizing the urgent need for a software-based solution for inventory management, TTG developed NET-TRANS. This network inventory management software is designed to help telecom operators protect their investments, increase efficiency, and reduce costs without additional effort.
Key Features of NET-TRANS

- Dynamic Design: The software is designed to adapt to your company’s specific leased-line applications and procedures.

- Lease Line Request: Regional offices can make requests for a new leased line, transfer, cancellation, etc., through the software. These requests are automatically transmitted to the Head Office, where automatic application letters to the transmitting company are compiled.

- Payment Filing: Payments for each leased line to the Service Provider Company are filed, ensuring accurate and up-to-date financial records.
