Case Study: Bell Canada achieves over $3 million in cable savings with CGI

Bell Canada secures over $3 million in savings in 4 months with CGI

Bell Canada, Canada's largest telecommunications supplier, faced a challenge with visibility and control over its cable installation process. Partnering with an external installer and a logistics company, Bell's manual procedures and disconnected systems led to inefficiencies and an inability to track or redeploy surplus cable. Bell engaged CGI to implement a solution using SAP technology to link all parties and streamline the supply chain.

CGI used its SAP expertise to develop a user-friendly portal that interconnected all three companies, providing real-time visibility of cable orders and surplus material. The solution included comprehensive training and support to ensure user adoption. As a result, Bell made over $6 million of surplus material visible and achieved over $3 million in savings from redeployed cable within just four months, a 100% increase over original estimates.
