Dial Code Management ®
Dial Code Management® (DCM®) enables carriers to manage numbering plans, identify different dial codes definitions used by other carriers to rate their offers and compare them against internal destination definitions.
Dial Code Management® simplifies the trading of international wholesale traffic, avoiding "cherry picking" and disputes with other carriers over tariffs and codes description discrepancies.
Main Features
Master of destinations
The carrier can administer his destinations and numbering plans by means of a "Master of Destinations" which represent the carrier's view of the world and against which all dial codes from bilateral agreements and offers are compared, in order to make decision-making easier.
The "Master of Destinations" includes General Destinations and Specific Destinations (defined for particular carriers and specific businesses).
Managemente of other Carriers destinations
Upload and management of destinations and dial codes included both in the offers sent by the Carriers and in the bilateral or reorigination agreements.
Standardization
Standardization is the core of DCM® which enables, through the codes, the comparison of the destinations informed by the other carriers with the destinations defined internally. The comparison is carried out using a single pattern - the carrier's own "Master of
Destinations".
This process includes the parameterization of Standardization Cases which define different scenarios that can occur during the operation. For each case the user can parameterize
different Proposals, provided by the tool, to be applied if the standardization cannot be carried out.
Management reports for decision making
DCM®
provides updated reports on the whole process, enabling the overall control of the international traffic trading:
| |
Codes equivalences |
| |
General and specific destinations detailed by code |
| |
Destinations coming from offer files |
| |
Offers expressed according to internal master of destinations |
| |
Standardized and non-standardized destinations together with the codes and reason why the process was not completed |
Fraud prevention
DCM® prevents "cherry picking" and arbitrage practices by which carriers sent traffic to certain codes in order to take advantage of an error in those codes categorization. For instance, if a carrier defines a code as belonging to a mobile carrier and another one defines the
same code as "fixed", the former will send traffic to the latter and pay a lower price for that traffic when its real termination cost is higher.
DCM® protects and maximizes your business margins detecting own errors and making it possible to negotiate the best tariffs for each destination.
