\u201cCreating and implementing this solution for MTN in South Africa aims to improve operational efficiency by driving improved product availability and customer service whilst reducing excess inventory and product obsolescence,\u201d says Cobus Rossouw, Executive Vice President: Digital & IT at Imperial. \u201cProviding a robust, autonomous, analytical capability to manage handset demand and supply means better forecasting and a more comprehensive view of flow of stock through the value chain.
