Cost and time savings will drive efficiencies; powerful analytics sharpens rollout strategies
MONTCLAIR, N.J., Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sitetracker, the world’s leading provider of deployment operations management software, will implement its software at EuroTeleSites, third largest listed company in Europe with markets in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, North Macedonia, and Serbia. With Sitetracker, EuroTeleSites will increase the efficiencies of wireless infrastructure deployments across all countries, improve product management and asset management, and harness its troves of proprietary data for strategic insights.
With more than 13,500 sites across CEE, EuroTeleSites deploys, operates, and maintains a massive network of critical infrastructure that wireless service providers across all six countries use. Rising customer expectations led to the company’s plan to move off its legacy asset management software to a modern platform with better usability and built-in data analytics. EuroTeleSites will make that digital transformation with Sitetracker.
“The approximately 400,000 mobile towers of all telcos and TowerCos throughout Europe form the infrastructural backbone of an increasingly digital, mobile society. As a tower operator, this requires close coordination with customers, authorities, landlords and suppliers: from site selection to construction and maintenance. Sitetracker helps us synchronize all the necessary information across countries and in real time and use it more effectively,” comments Lars Mosdorf, CFO of EuroTeleSites and responsible for IT, on the potential of the software changeover. “With the introduction of Sitetracker, we are creating state-of-the-art support for our team and the basis for big data analytics, machine learning and, in a later step, digital twins,” says Mosdorf, delighted with the forward-looking investment.
Sitetracker continues to see extraordinary success in international markets, particularly in Europe where telecom service providers are investing in high-capacity fiber and wireless infrastructure to deliver much-anticipated 5G services. The Sitetracker product suite, with its built-in best practices for the telco industry, offers a complete telecom ecosystem with prebuilt, intelligent templates and workflows based on years of experience that benefit EuroTeleSites as it moves nimbly to respond to its customers.
“In order to reap the benefits of digital transformation, which include significant cost and time savings, companies must re-imagine old processes and use data to improve them,” said Giuseppe Incitti, CEO of Sitetracker. “Sitetracker gives telcos and TowerCos the tools to make this shift simply and effectively, so they can move forward with clear, precise, real-time information and focus on serving their customers with maximal efficiency. We look forward to a continued positive relationship with EuroTeleSites.”

The global leader in deployment operations management software, Sitetracker helps innovative companies like Cox, Telefonica, EVgo, Nextera, Comcast, ChargePoint, Cypress Creek Renewables, Ziply, Southern Company, Iberdrola, Vodafone, Vantage Towers, VerticalBridge, and Congruex plan, deploy, and manage millions of programs, projects, sites, and assets across nearly 300 customers globally.

This exciting collaboration is advancing the connected mobility industry, ensuring fleets are well equipped to navigate today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities.”
The partnership will also include developing an in-vehicle application leveraging the MyGeotab platform and Kia’s PBV In-Vehicle Display App Store. This will enhance the fleet’s operations through route optimization as well as improve safety.
Sangdae Kim, Senior Vice President and Head of the PBV Business Division at Kia Corporation, said:”Kia is partnering with Geotab and 42dot because this collaboration is essential to the strategic growth of Kia’s PBV business. Together, Kia aims to offer the best-in-class fleet management solutions that not only optimizes fleet operations but also lay the foundation for PBV software capabilities.

Geotab will also collaborate with Kia as an OEM-Geotab Cloud-to-Cloud data provider. This will enable customers to leverage OEM-embedded data without the need to install a separate device and prepare for the launch of Kia’s PBV lineup, the PV5 and PV7 models.

The company excels in the innovation and growth matrices by offering CX transformation solutions and demonstrating its innovation capabilities.MADRID, Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Atento Luxco 1 (“Atento” or the “Company”), one of the world’s largest providers of customer relationship management and business transformation outsourcing (CRM/BTO) services and an industry leader in Latin America, has once again been recognized by Frost & Sullivan as a Leader in the 2024 Frost Radar™ for Customer Experience Management in Latin America.
This recognition highlights not only Atento’s ability to innovate, but also its comprehensive focus on digital transformation and the implementation of advanced technologies, such as generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), that not only improve the customer experience, but also optimize operational costs for its customers.
With more than 200 competitors in the region, Atento has positioned itself as a leader for the third consecutive year, demonstrating a unique ability to combine cutting-edge technology with a customer-centric approach.
Boosting Innovation: AI Center of Excellence and AtentoNext
The CX market in Latin America is at a pivotal moment. Companies are looking for strategic allies capable of implementing technological solutions that improve the efficiency and quality of customer service.
In 2023, Atento launched its Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence (AI CoE), centralizing the development of a GenAI product portfolio. Backed by a global AI committee and strict security and privacy policies, this center ensures the secure integration of artificial intelligence into the transformation of the customer experience. In addition, Atento is the only company on Frost’s radar that has a start-up accelerator: Atento Next.
AI-based technology at the service of talent and the customer
Atento has implemented a GenAI-based tool for recruitment that simulates different candidate profiles and assesses key skills, such as empathy, resolution skills, and objection management. With this tool, the company ensures that the right talent is incorporated into the team, optimizing recruitment processes and reducing associated costs.
In addition, Atento has developed a predictive model of staff turnover, based on AI, which analyzes the probability of an employee leaving the company. This solution allows Atento to customize its approach to each agent, increasing their well-being, engagement, and productivity, while reducing turnover rates.
Likewise, with Atento AI Studio, a proprietary Artificial Intelligence platform, Atento elevates the customer experience and transforms the operational efficiency of companies, within an ethical, secure and private framework. Within the Company’s comprehensive ecosystem of AI solutions and capabilities, Atento AI Studio is positioned as a fundamental piece to optimize customer CX.
Strategic Perspective and Growth Opportunities
Frost & Sullivan highlights that Atento is in a privileged position and has consolidated its position as a trusted advisor in customer experience management (CXM). The company’s ability to integrate GenAI and adjacent technologies allows companies to implement solutions that in addition to significantly improving service quality, optimize costs.
“As it intensifies the use of GenAI and adjacent technologies, Atento helps companies securely and strategically implement the right tools to reduce costs and increase quality of service, cementing Atento as a trusted partner for its customers in the customer experience management (CXM) sector.” Sebastian Menutti affirms, Frost Radar Research Director. “But CXM services are not a technology-only game, and Atento has found the right mix of people, processes and technology.”
The report highlights Atento’s strategy to diversify its customer portfolio, attracting both new customers and expanding its relationship with existing ones, especially in sectors such as technology; travel and hospitality; retail and electronics; banking, financial services and insurance; media and entertainment; and health.
With the consolidation of the CXM industry, Frost & Sullivan forecasts a wide range of growth opportunities in the short to medium term for Atento, as various organizations look to bring in new BPO providers. This puts Atento in an advantageous position to capture new opportunities in an ever-evolving market.
