Granite Inventory

Granite Inventory Overview

An inefficient fulfillment process isn't just inconvenient – it's wasteful. Whenever you add a new technology, piece of equipment, system, or process, you have to update all your records.

There's a better way. Granite Inventory fulfillment software consolidates and synchronizes the attributes of your services and network to deliver a precise view of all your assets. That means no more manual updating. No more worrying. Just clear, accurate data, every time.

What is Granite Inventory?

Part of our Fulfillment suite, Granite Inventory lets you keep track of your physical and logical resources, speed up provisioning, and improve the reliability of your network inventory management and fulfillment processes.

A platform for planning, designing, rearranging and documenting complex communication services and networks, Granite Inventory can provide a comprehensive view of your services, resources, and networks and the relationships among them. Features include:

• Service and Network Inventory Management. Ties customer services to your underlying network.
• Automated Provisioning. Enables quick, consistent order-to-service flowthrough.
• Data Accuracy. Maximizes resource utilization and reduces errors.
• Data Visualization. Analyzes data at all levels.

Who Uses Granite Inventory?

Informed Decision Making

Exponential Mobile and Mass Market Broadband growth is driving carriers to continuously upgrade their networks.  To conserve limited capital and operational resources, the right decision making process by deployment engineering can make or break a plan.  Cross layer network views of current and planned network assets are critical to making optimal decisions on when and how to best grow networks.

Reduced Planning Cycles & Costs

Network augmentation projects rarely lie solely within a single engineering domain.  Decisions made in RF Planning require changes and place demands across Core, Access and Facilities.  Design work done in isolation within network layers drives the process into a serial work stream that oscillates back and forth between organizations to come up with a workable, let alone optimal, plan.  Giving each engineer a common view allows them to anticipate constraints in other layers sooner or recognize opportunities that would otherwise go unseen.  The result is faster times to develop a workable, low cost plan, in the shortest timeframe possible.

Broad Operational Coordination

The larger and more complex a network and its supporting operation gets, the more critical the need to broadly communicate current and planned states of the network becomes.  From consolidating truck rolls across multiple activities, to preventing competing demands on network resources, a centralized view of inventory fit for purpose for each organization can provide the orchestration and detail needed to make best use of resources and capital.
