Constructo enables telecommunications providers or equipment vendors to manage the processes associated with network rollout, upgrading network technology, expanding the network’s footprint and managing the network’s sites. The product provides full support for candidate site selection, build and upgrade project management and site management.

Constructo empowers management staff, and engineers alike, with the information to enable timely and efficient rollout of the network. It can support the business from the early stages of bidding for a licence, through to providing full support whilst rolling out the network or indeed expanding an existing network.

Network Rollout Issues

It is symptomatic of the industry that management of telecom providers can lack control of their network infrastructure, whether in the rollout, upgrade or operation and maintenance stages of its lifecycle. Time is of the essence whilst rolling out a network with defined milestones impacting on further capital expenditure if timelines are missed.

Constructo provides the ability to meet deadlines more effectively in order to reduce time to revenue for a new network or service in an increasingly competitive market place. By highlighting the areas which require control and suggesting how any shortcomings may be remedied, Consistel hopes to illustrate how improved control can bring a significant effect to cash flow at both CAPEX and OPEX levels.

Enhanced Rollout Management

It is not uncommon for telecommunications providers or equipment vendors to have much of their data resident at a regional level, often controlled by numerous small databases, spreadsheets or even journals. Few operators have an accessible, centralized corporate knowledge base. It is this specific issue that Constructo solves.  

Massive capital investments are needed in order to build and maintain a network. Investment in physical sites must be monitored and controlled. Constructo reduces rollout time, speeds up time to revenue, and keeps proprietary data in-house. It provides a document repository, allows access via the Intranet or the Internet, models business processes and provides management and operational reports. We always stay well ahead of our competitors in the functionality of our software by relying on the hands-on experience of our expert consultants.

Constructo contains a powerful workflow engine that allows the provision for task driven projects to be created on both a small and large scale. This allows network rollout to be monitored as a whole, as well as from a regional perspective, subcontractor perspective or to monitor work being performed, or tasked to an individual staff member or organizational department.

Constructo allows for fast identification and analysis of candidate sites in order to fulfil coverage requirements and targets that regulatory bodies may have set, as well as providing task and business process definition support throughout.

Constructo supports all stages of rollout from site acquisition through to network integration. It provides a complete management solution for network infrastructure rollout. User configurability ensures that the data capture abilities provide tailored and focused site management. A wealth of relevant site information can be recorded, enabling you to make the most informed decision on candidate suitability. Site photographs, rental agreements, health and safety information, contact / access details and visit history are just some of the functionalities offered within this tool. Status and milestone snapshots offer an immediate overview of work progress, the cost of the work performed and a status overview of candidate sites as well as their suitability ranking. The tool has also been developed so that any supporting documentation like drawings or rental agreements can also be stored and displayed against an individual project or if required down to an individual record on the system.

Overview

Constructo, the single solution for network rollout delivers a significant and quantifiable ROI proposition based on a reduced time to revenue. Through reduced lead-time for the installation of a new site, service or upgrade costs are controlled and budgets achieved through site-by-site or service-by service project control.

In the case of mobile networks, typical revenue per site is $1,500 per day, and the reduction of the site delivery by only 30 days results in additional revenues of $45,000 per site. This cost saving model is also applicable to new service introduction.

Constructo enables control over projects leading to significant cost savings in areas such as manpower, aborted site visits, reduced task handover time and site cost control.  In the present day era of increased efficiency, the need to drive down overheads in order to compete in the highly competitive telecommunications marketplace is at the forefront of operator and vendor thinking. Therefore investment in a tool to control network rollout and the introduction of new services is of paramount importance to ensure that costs and projects are controlled.

Constructo is the tool of choice in many of the world’s largest wireless networks and equipment vendors.
