MTN Côte d’Ivoire approached us with a significant operational challenge. As their operations scaled, they were dealing with a surge in capital expenditure as they had to constantly purchase hundreds of new devices for their growing network of agents. If they didn’t do this, SIM activations would be delayed, agents would be frustrated by the lack of resources, and the customer experience would take a hit. This was therefore a problem that needed to be solved and their goal was clear; they needed a mechanism to Increase SIM activations without the burden of large upfront costs.
In response to this challenge, we deployed our innovative solution called BioSmart X, which has a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) feature. So instead of relying on expensive, company-issued registration devices, MTN Côte d’Ivoire’s agents could now use their own smartphones and tablets to perform SIM registrations. This approach was made possible through BioSmart X’s KYC and biometric data management functionality, which integrates seamlessly with agents’ personal devices to ensure a secure, efficient, and compliant registration process.
Why did this work?
- The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) feature meant that agents no longer needed costly company-issued devices, which reduced pressure on CAPEX.
- Device limitations were removed, so MTN Côte d’Ivoire is now able to onboard more agents, speeding up subscriber acquisition and SIM activations..
- BioSmart X ensures all registrations still comply with KYC regulations.
The Results? The numbers speak for themselves.
- Over 50% increase in daily SIM activations, from 20,000 to 30,000 registrations per day.
- The BYOD model eliminated the need for additional devices, removing pressure on capital expenditure.
Following the success of BioSmart X, MTN Côte d’Ivoire is now aiming for 50,000 daily SIM registrations.
MTN Côte d’Ivoire’s journey with BioSmart X proves that innovation can solve complex challenges. If you’re looking to address similar issues in your own operations, BioSmart X is the solution you need.
