Telesmart.io was selected for its purpose-built direct inward dialling (DID) inventory management platform. It is API-enabled meaning Telia Carrier can automate how numbers are provisioned, simplify number management, and accelerate how it serves growing customer demand within a single platform.
Mikael Uggla, head of sales for voice and messaging at Telia Carrier said: “Telesmart.io is filling a need in the market for simple and efficient number management. Its platform enables our teams to rapidly access the numbers that customers need and provide comprehensive solutions to customers. Telephone numbers remain central to the delivery of conference calling and CPaaS solutions, and the growth of CPaaS has made it essential to automate and accelerate how we manage and deliver numbers.
“We’re excited to be working with Telesmart.io and look forward to growing together,” Uggla continued.
No longer dependent on manual and offline number management, Telia Carrier said the development also increased cost-efficiencies.
The Telesmart.io inventory management platform supports "bring your own operator" models – AKA BYOO – which require numbers to be rapidly provisioned for enterprise customers across multiple markets.
With customers in more than 125 countries – and a global fibre network that spans 70,000 km across Europe, North America and Asia (see image) – Telia Carrier will now be able to see number inventory from across partners in real-time and deliver it to customers. Rather than holding number inventory that isn’t being used, it can access numbers from Telesmart.io’s partners via the platform, saving time and money.
Neil Kitcher, CEO and founder at Telesmart.io said: “With the global demand for telephone numbers increasing, monetising and managing numbers needs to be simple, efficient and agile. Customers should be able to access numbers where and when they need them.
“Our purpose-built DID inventory management solution automates the supply chain and enables Telia Carrier to bring all of their numbers into a single platform. We’re taking the complexity out of number management and enabling them to serve more of their customers’ needs.”
