Common Industry Challenges.


Currently businesses have to deal with the challenge of working with obsolete databases which don’t have real time information of their target audience.

Many of the business houses are working with databases that have invalid and not active mobile numbers that cause wasteful expenditure of their limited resources.

Businesses have no idea of whether the mobile numbers in their database are unavailable or in roaming. They don’t have information on which mobile numbers are ported to other networks which may cause them additional cost.

The lack of information on the mobile numbers, which are recently ported, may impact their customer engagement. They may also face the challenge of sending confidential information to unauthorized mobile numbers.
