This is one of the best and most utilized solutions on the market when you want to fight – and win – the fraud battle. With its unique flexibility and reporting functionality via dashboard, it covers all fraud scenarios you might encounter. Watchdog will help you stay in control of your business.

 

You are losing money. You were doing it yesterday and will continue to do so in the future. The challenge you face is how to minimize the loss. In fact, telecom operators all over the world suffer from fraud being committed within their network. It doesn’t matter whether the subscriber base is prepaid or postpaid, or whether you are recently established or have been in the business for a very long time. The fraudsters will always be there. Both inside and outside of your company.


Many estimates put fraud and revenue leakage-related losses at 3% to 10 % of an operator's revenue. You can be sure the fraudsters will be there the moment you fail to properly monitor your business.

 
You will also recognize the increasing sophistication demonstrated by fraudsters. Criminals will organize themselves and act as legitimate companies to gain access to more services and higher credit limits to maximize their illegal payouts. Also, the constant introduction of new technologies opens the door for new, ingenious ways to obtain money, airtime or sensitive information.
Basset is a solid partner in combating fraud.

Erik Strandberg, Fraud Director
Tele 2

"Bassets’ Watchdog Fraud Management System has come in service at our company as substitute for a obsolete FMS from another vendor. The implementation of the Watchdog system in to our network was surprisingly easy. The solution has a perfect GUI that allows operators to take advantage of it “over the night”. Another important factor for us was the Windows operating system which allows better and less complicated software maintenance. The solution from Basset is very cost effective."
