Avetta empowered Altafiber to pre-qualify suppliers, monitor insurance and track KPIs efficiently across dispersed sites, ensuring safe, compliant and scalable operations as their fibre network expands.
Challenges in compliance management
Altafiber’s vision to provide complete fibre access to current and future markets is multi-faceted. Achieving and maintaining this level of connectivity required a carefully formed and monitored supply chain, along with advanced analytics to oversee site performance.
Hiring the right personnel was a challenge. Suppliers needed to meet industry-regulated mandates and Altafiber’s internal criteria. Before partnering with Avetta, Altafiber lacked a robust pre-qualification solution to thoroughly vet supplier safety and insurance policies. The scale of dispersed sites, each with unique requirements, further complicated the ability to track vendor KPIs such as hours worked at specific locations.
The Avetta experience
Altafiber’s connection with Avetta began before the fibre expansion project. Already part of Avetta’s supplier network, the company trusted Avetta’s capabilities and fast-tracked its selection process, choosing Avetta exclusively.
The company implemented three Avetta Connect solutions: supplier pre-qualification, insurance monitoring and data analytics. Rollouts began in Ohio and Hawaii, where the fibre network was growing fastest.
Benefits of partnership with Avetta
A growing list of active connections
Of the 96 suppliers initially invited, 31 are already active, achieving a 32% connection rate, with 37 more in the process of onboarding.
Seamless rollouts
Despite the complexities of having two time zones and diverse site requirements, onboarding was smooth. Suppliers were assigned to the correct sites and connected to the platform successfully.
A future-focused partnership
Looking ahead, Altafiber plans to extend its fibre reach further. Avetta’s scalable Connect platform supports this growth, enabling expansion into new territories while maintaining supplier compliance, risk management and KPI tracking.
