Project Overview
A major telecommunications infrastructure provider in Africa approached Kahe Digital with an urgent need to replace their manual invoice processing system. The company provides critical telecommunications infrastructure to mobile network operators across the continent.
Processing millions of invoices monthly through manual processes was creating significant operational strain and threatening their ability to scale with market demand. They needed an enterprise-grade solution delivered rapidly.
The Business Challenge
Critical Pain Points:
- Manual invoice generation: Daily calculations of operator consumption done manually
- Processing bottlenecks: Unable to handle growing volume of transactions
- Payment tracking complexity: Manual tracking of payments and overpayments
- Credit management issues: Difficulty managing operator credit balances
- Accounts receivable delays: Slow invoice delivery affecting cash flow
- Error-prone processes: High risk of calculation and tracking errors
- Scalability constraints: System couldn't support business growth
The client was desperate to eliminate these manual processes, making rapid deployment a critical success factor.
