Scope of Work - Build Operate Transfer Customer Base Management

The operator is the Joint Venture between 2 operators which currently is the #3 mobile player in the country. Since the creation of the JV, the operator has successfully merged the 2 organizations, integrated the network and IT systems and has been able to reposition its 2 brands in the Consumer Segment successfully.
The financial KPI of the Joint Venture are positive and the operator has reached a FCF positive position as well as achieving EBITDA ratio > 25%.
Nevertheless, due to focus on other operational metrics, we believe higher ambition shall be put in CBM activities during the next 15 months and we are approaching the market to engage a supplier able to provide to the operator a Build / Operate / Transfer CBM service from beginning of May 2018 to end of July 2019.
2- Current state of the operator CBM
The operator holds a 6,5 Million customer base with ASPU of 3,4 USD per month. The country is utmost prepaid market with the operator owning two brands. Overall annual churn is ~100%.
Currently there are very limited CBM activities, mainly focused on churn reduction. No robust post-campaign analysis has been done within last 6 months. There is local DWH platform operated by dedicated BI team. The DWH holds Customer Information data, Product information, CDRs, Refill, Balance information.
The operator has also implemented DPI in its network. BI team has capabilities to provide regular batch reports according to incoming Marketing and Finance requests and run regular scheduled jobs for CBM purpose. Direct marketing campaigns are now being launched in a manual manner. There is lack of CBM tool capabilities in terms of Big Data analytics, campaign automation and post-campaign insights.
