Estel Advanced Voucher Management Platform

Estel’s VMS (Voucher Management System) is a platform for new-age Mobile Network Operators. It has been designed and developed on the digital-first principle to allow MNO’s exploit digital technology for faster product launch and wider coverage.

This Digital Voucher Management System can integrate and communicate with a number of nodes (e.g. ERP, CRM, DMS, etc.) to automate the process of voucher life cycle management right from the point of raising a purchase order to print the vouchers, managing/tracking distribution, and finally redemption.

This Voucher Management Platform can be used as:

• Traditional Voucher Management System: To generate and print recharge codes on a physical voucher. The platform’s print vendor management module automates the communication with print vendors and the secure exchange of encrypted voucher files for printing.
• e-Voucher Management System: To generate and distribute voucher codes in electronic/digital format over digital channels. Recharge code can be delivered to the end-user in SMS or in-app messages. The system can be easily & modularly upgraded for a comprehensive e-voucher delivery system using POS (point of sales) devices
• In Hybrid Mode: Allows voucher codes to be used as eVoucher over digital channels or printed on physical recharge cards. Salient Features of Estel VMS

Case Studies

• High-Performance Digital VMS for Telecom recharge: Telenor-DTAC, a Mobile Network Operator in Thailand was struggling with a legacy VMS system which(that) was limiting their ambitious digital transformation plans. Estel’s high-performance Digital Voucher Management System not only helped them in achieving their transformational goal, but also ended their regular capacity and performance woes.
• Multi-Purpose Recharge Cards: A recharge code can be used for multiple purposes. Mr. Oluwole in Nigeria can buy one recharge code/card and use it to topup his mobile, or recharge his satellite TV, or pay for electricity/water, or even deposit money in his bank account.
• For Charity Distribution: Mr. Yanis in Lebanon is living in a camp for a displaced population and does not have any means of sustenance. He receives vouchers from charitable agencies weekly. He can redeem these vouchers in designated stores to buy food grains, bread, etc. These vouchers are generated and redeemed using the Estel VMS system in the backend.
