A powerful addition to the Re:source Visibility platform, Re:source Disposition enables Telecom carriers and manufacturers to streamline and automate the process of identifying excess, decommissioned and end-of-life material for reuse, resale or recycling.
Supplementing the capabilities of existing ERP and Operational Support Systems (OSS) for asset reporting, Trade Wings brings supply and demand data together into a single view to provide operations and procurement with more accurate and reliable equipment forecasts.
Leveraging unprecedented visibility into internal and external material stocks through Re:source Visibility, the Re:source Disposition module features a configurable Disposition Rules Engine (DRE) which reacts to inventory levels and directs material to where it is needed within the global service and supply chain.
This level of visibility ensures that equipment required for maintaining service levels is consigned to spares pools, while the balance of resalable assets are sold for maximum value, or properly recycled for cradle-to-grave environmental accountability.
By putting network assets to highest and best use and providing access to Marketing and Procurement Services for strategic buying and selling, Trade Wings facilitates just-in-time inventories and the ability to first use what you already own, reducing the requirement for expedited replacements, trickle production runs or costly repairs.
"Prescriptive" disposition controls facilitate more informed material reuse, resale and recycling decisions through:
- Customizable support for logic-based rules, matching lists and retained quantity thresholds;
- User-defined disposition actions, such as retain, recycle or contact, based on single or multiple rules assignment and prioritization;
- Easy-to-use data import menus and templates for self-service administration of Quantity Threshold and Match lists, including optional fields for part numbers, material condition and quantities;
- Line-item list viewing, editing and deletion capabilities;
- Ability to configure DRE and automatically match material quantities against a single company or all companies defined within a company group for reuse efficiency across market units or geographies;
- Security controls for user system access and authorization; and
-
Built-in reporting and analytics.
