Channel Partners considering the option of setting themselves up with WLR3 can expect to pay from £100K to £150K plus the time to program and implement the supporting technical systems. This is a significant financial commitment for any business, but TMS now offers a more cost-effective solution. Dealers and Resellers wanting to offer the WLR3 product can choose to partner with TMS and only pay a small nominal monthly charge, plus be up and running within days.
TMS has developed a bespoke WLR3 interface tailored to the specific needs of the Channel. Working closely with partners Strategic Imperatives and utilising their proven B2B software solution, TMS has been able to integrate seamlessly with the BT Openreach WLR3 servers and the TMS Billing Platform. The sophisticated online system features an intuitive user interface giving quick access to all levels of functionality. PSTN is fully tested and functional whilst the TMS system link is now also live allowing Channel Partners to simultaneously order from BT.
Suzanne Chappell, Managing Director at TMS comments, “At TMS we always aim to offer our Channel Partners the latest telecom products and technology supported by the best customer service. We have worked hard to become the first WLR3 reseller in the UK and this is a great reflection on the strength of our team. Now large and small resellers can easily access WLR3 and offer their customers the benefits, without the high costs of setting it up themselves. This is a great opportunity for all”.
With WLR3 from TMS, Channel Partners can immediately benefit from a range of services such as greater control of client line data, the ability to check line and fault status quickly, plus they now have the option to directly schedule engineer appointments on the BT appointment system.
In addition, Bureau’s can quickly take orders, price them accurately and place them directly into the TMS billing engine when live at site. Resellers not using this facility are provided with a monthly file which they can use to export and import into their own billing systems.
