Trade Wings is delivering the fresh ideas Telecom companies require to become more agile and responsive to rapid technological change and emerging competitors. Reuse Optimization is about extending the lifecycle and utilization of network assets, with the greatest points of emphasis on reusing and reselling. In traditional reverse logistics, recycling, or selling assets as scrap, garners the majority of the focus. This approach leaves many challenging questions relative to the highest and best use of existing network assets, such as:
- How many assets are there?
- Where are those assets located?
- What is the condition of those assets?
- What is the value of the assets?
Transforming Reverse Logistics
At Trade Wings, we’re turning the reverse logistics pyramid upside down to create best-practice frameworks for asset management, compliance and governance of technology upgrade cycles that drive:
- Stronger financial performance
- Business model innovation
- Highly-efficient material flows
- Greener supply chains and WEEE (Electronic Waste Recycling Act) compliance
At the heart of any reuse discussion is visibility. From our perspective, visibility is the core tenant of Reuse Optimization. Without visibility into inventory and external material flow, it's impossible to devise the processes capable of maximizing the value of those assets. Through unprecedented levels of visibility, our unique combination of market intelligence, technology and outsourced services represents the type of fresh thinking capable of addressing new service demands, increasing profits and establishing competitive differentiation.
| In traditional reverse logistics, a small amount of material is reused, some resold, and a large amount sent to recyclers as scrap. Trade Wings' unique solution places greater empahasis on reusing or reselling network assets to improve financial performance and reduce waste through global visibility that ensures the highest and best use of existing material across service and supply chains. |
