MACH, a provider of hub-based mobile communication solutions, today announced that Yoigo, a Spanish mobile network operator and a subsidiary of Teliasonera, has selected its Wholesale Roaming Solution to help optimise its cash flow while simultaneously accelerating financial clearing and settlement for its roaming business.
The Wholesale Roaming Solution combines MACH’s data clearing and financial clearing and settlement services and will help Yoigo reduce the time to market for advanced roaming services while providing full transparency of clearing and settlement across a single customer portal.
Miguel Angel Barba Rodriguez, Roaming Manager at Yoigo, said: “As part of the larger Teliasonera Group, it is important for us to achieve operational simplicity, and MACH understands this. MACH’s Wholesale Roaming Solution frees us from having to maintain our own clearing and settlement capabilities and the expensive in-house expertise and technology resources this entails. In addition to reducing costs, MACH’s services enable us to outsource the non-core functions of data and financial clearing and settlement, allowing us to focus on growing our subscriber base.”
MACH’s solution offers Yoigo an integrated view of its roaming wholesale, retail and financial data delivering enhanced levels of control, analysis and business optimisation across the group and subscriber levels. The Wholesale Roaming Solution also helps Yoigo reduce revenue leakage through its auto-repair function, designed to correct the most common TAP errors associated with incorrect billing reconciliation.
Artur Michalczyk, Chief Product Officer, MACH, said: “MACH processes over 150 billion transactions a year for operators such as Yoigo, providing us with unrivalled experience in this space. Yoigo itself has been a customer of ours since they first launched, standing testament to the reliability and quality of our clearing and settlement capabilities, and we are proud to be extending this relationship through our Wholesale Roaming Solution. Through this platform Yoigo will enjoy optimised cash flow, improved efficiency and a reduced exposure to bad debt without the high capital and operational expenses associated with comparable in-house systems.”
MACH’s Wholesale Roaming Solution delivers complete CDR-to-cash management combining rating and tariff administration, billing interoperability and transaction management as well as advanced reporting and business intelligence. In addition, the solution provides access to MACH’s Multi-Lateral Settlement Pool (MLSP) which, unlike bilateral solutions, consolidates multiple payment transactions into one settlement transaction per member, improving operational efficiency and cash flow while reducing exposure to bad debt.
