Local and long-distance services, MPLS access and ports, VOIP, internet are examples of wireline inventory that are effectively tracked and managed in the platform. We associate all inventory items to their billing counterpart. From the invoice, we provide the billing aspect of your inventory–such as:

• Vendor

• Account

• Service / Line / Circuit ID (the unique billing service number)

• Billing costs
  
  

Based on the billing items (your invoice line items) per service, we can derive a hierarchy of types for services that are billing:

• Class & Subclass: Class is how the Asignet classifies the main service, such as Data, or Voice. Subtype is a sub-category within the Class, such as MPLS, Toll Free, or PRI.
  
  

Lastly, we can enrich the inventory data capture by giving you the ability to associate the following characteristics to each inventory item:

• Location / Building

• User

• Description

• Custom fields

Where is the inventory data coming from?

For all the accounts where portal access is provided, Asignet is able to perform regular inventory data refreshes, which could range from daily to monthly. We extract the inventory data from each of your vendors and present the data in a standardized format in the Inventory Management module.

I think inventory data is missing?

First, please remember that we need to have portal access to the vendor / account. If we are manually entering your invoices, then that most likely means that we can’t extract your inventory data from a vendor portal.

We are also continually evolving our inventory data capture and it is also possible we need to take the opportunity to update our processes. Please speak with your Client Account Manager to see if we can enhance our data capture.
