Gaining an accurate picture of your physical and virtual assets is key to identifying cost savings, optimizing your network’s performance and security, and managing its expansion or migration. Starting with information from your Customer Service Records (CSRs) and any existing inventory data, we use our proprietary scripts to perform more than 30 different criteria to match invoices to inventory to identify any inventory gaps.

Customer Service Records/ 2-3 Months of Invoices
Vendor Portal Credentials
Inventory Locations/Configuration

Provide detailed reports using TEM software
Having one complete database of your telecom equipment and software, as well as a validated record of your company’s MACDs (Moves, Adds, Changes and Deletions), will help your company operate more efficiently, make better purchasing decisions, and save money.
If you have a complex network that includes multiple locations with the need to add, change or disconnect lines frequently, contracting with Axiom for continuing TEM services makes sense. Our auditors will continue to check your invoices regularly to be sure you’re not overspending and resolve any exceptions quickly. Many of our clients find that the savings we find for them through an ongoing audit more than pays for this service.
