Numbering Automation Platform
Thousands-Block Pooling is increasing the order volume and complexity of numbering administration. Moving from CO-code management to block-level management means more numbering resources to track, more applications and transactions to process, and greater requirements for utilization monitoring, forecasting and regulatory reporting.
For carriers managing these processes through spreadsheets, email, manual portal entry and siloed systems, increased volumes can translate directly into additional administrative workload and greater operational risk.
COMsolve’s Numbering Automation Platform (NAP) provides a centralized automation layer for numbering operations, helping carriers process higher volumes with greater consistency, visibility and control.
The Cost of Managing Numbering Manually
As numbering volumes increase, manual processes can become increasingly dependent on staff effort, spreadsheets and individual knowledge. NAP addresses the administrative burden created by repetitive processing, disconnected information and limited visibility.
MORE MANUAL WORK
Application preparation, data entry, reconciliation and status follow-up require repetitive administrative effort.
MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR ERROR
Information maintained across multiple systems and spreadsheets can become inconsistent, incomplete or duplicated.
LESS VISIBILITY
Pending requests, application status, utilization levels and exceptions can be difficult to monitor as transaction volumes increase.
GREATER OPERATIONAL
RISKS
Without timely inventory and utilization information, potential resource shortages may not be identified early enough to support customer provisioning.
GREATER COMPLIANCE RISKS
Fragmented documentation and manual processes can make it more difficult to maintain a consistent record of applications, approvals, submissions and regulatory activity.
Numbering Management, Connected and Automated.
NAP is a modular platform that automates and coordinates the numbering-resource life cycle, from demand and application management through ordering, confirmation, inventory updates, utilization monitoring and reporting.
Instead of repeatedly entering and reconciling information across spreadsheets, portals and other systems, NAP connects numbering workflows and applies consistent processes to each request.
The platform provides interfaces for number-resource applications, order tracking, inventory visibility, utilization reporting and forecasting. Periodic inventory snapshots (daily, weekly or monthly) can be imported to support months-to-exhaust calculations, utilization justifications, low-inventory alerts, and semi-annual utilization reporting and forecasting.
NAP can be deployed as a carrier-operated platform or delivered as part of COMsolve managed services, with the implementation and level of support tailored to the carrier's operating environment.
NAP
A Modular Approach to Numbering Automation
01
Numbering Application Studio
An environment for preparing number-resource applications, with guided form logic, pre-filled information, validation and access to relevant inventory data.
02
Order Tracking Through to Inventory Ready
Tracks number-resource orders through predefined or user-defined workflow states.
Giving numbering teams visibility from the initial order through to the point where resources are ready for assignment.
03
BIRRDS Automation
Supports bulk processing and uploading of block-routing information into BIRRDS, reducing repetitive manual entry associated with routing updates.
04
Lifecycle & Inventory Intelligence
Provides inventory visibility, reconciliation between industry and internal resources, utilization analysis, forecasting and support for regulatory reporting.
UP TO 70% LESS MANUAL SUBMISSION EFFORT*
*Based on industry-reported automation results for numbering-resource submissions. Actual results will vary based on operating environment, process maturity and implementation scope.
Numbering-resource applications can involve repetitive data entry, validation, portal uploads, follow-up and reconciliation. NAP automates these steps and connects them within a single workflow, allowing numbering teams to process requests with less manual intervention and greater consistency.
By reducing repetitive administrative tasks, automation can free staff capacity for activities that require greater oversight, analysis and decision-making.
