ConceptWave Order Care Catalog Management

ConceptWave is an independent software provider that is focused on the Telecom Service Provider market. It provides out-of- the box solutions to help facilitate and automate the product life cycle from the conception of a product or service, through the design and rollout, to the eventual retirement of the product and service as well as the order fulfilment life cycle from the order entry and multi-bundle offerings to diverse geographical sites using complex discounts, through to the product and service validation, order decomposition and orchestration, inventory allocation, delivery and billing.

ConceptWave Order Care contains the following solutions:

  1. Order Negotiations:  A fully customizable order entry system that validates every order prior to provisioning and enables CSRs (customer service representatives) to offer pricing, availability, multi-featured bundles, discounts etc.
