Telecommunications

Reduce Costs. Speed Delivery. Expand Reach.

Helping Indonesia’s telecom operators improve efficiency, strengthen distribution, and deliver faster networks.

Renoir’s Global Footprint  

Indonesia’s telecom operators face heavy cost pressures and high infrastructure demands. While the market continues to expand, many providers struggle with inefficiencies in execution, weak cost control, and slow delivery of services.

Challenges in Indonesia’s Telecom Sector 

  • Fragmented Sales & Distribution: Multiple channels with weak performance management, reducing conversion and limiting market penetration.
  • Procurement Inefficiencies: Overlapping vendors and poor contract governance inflate OPEX.
  • Slow Rollouts: 5G and fibre expansions delayed by weak planning, lengthy approvals, and poor cross-functional coordination.
  • High Operating Costs: Inefficient workforce allocation, excessive overtime, and manual routines drive costs up.
  • Weak Management Discipline: KPIs and reviews exist but are inconsistently applied, limiting accountability and slowing decisions.
  • Regulatory & Market Pressure: Mandatory infrastructure sharing, spectrum costs, and a price-sensitive prepaid customer base squeeze margins.

How Renoir Delivers Results 

  • Boost Sales Productivity: Stronger performance management, smarter distribution, and hands-on sales coaching.
  • Cut OPEX: Vendor consolidation, tighter procurement governance, and cost-control systems.
  • Accelerate Rollouts: Short-interval control routines, streamlined planning, and faster approvals for 5G and fibre.
  • Optimise Workforce: Data-driven shift planning and reduced idle time to lower operating costs.
  • Embed Accountability: Clear management controls that drive transparency, speed, and performance.

Proven Impact 

Renoir has helped leading Indonesian operators achieve:

  • 10–20% OPEX reduction
  • 30–40% faster rollouts
  • 15–25% sales productivity uplift

And because we work side by side with your teams, these improvements last long after the project ends.

"Renoir has been able to identify and help implement several improvements in the respective processes that have significantly helped us in strengthening our position in the market. We feel that Renoir has significantly contributed to the improved business performance over the last three quarters."

Our Recent Results

Two Leading International Telecom Operators Achieved Rapid Post-Merger Integration with a Unified Governance Framework

Challenge

Following a major merger, two international telecom operators in Indonesia faced the urgent need to integrate operations, systems, and leadership cultures to unlock planned synergies. Differences in organisational structure, decision-making processes, and performance management risked slowing down integration and eroding value creation.

Recognising the complexity of merging two large entities with distinct operating models, the client engaged Renoir to accelerate synergy capture through structured transformation design, leadership alignment, and disciplined execution governance.

Solution

  • Developed a comprehensive integration roadmap outlining key workstreams, milestones, and synergy targets
  • Aligned leadership teams through joint strategy sessions and clarity on post-merger roles and accountability
  • Established joint governance structures to drive cross-functional coordination and transparent decision-making
  • Implemented programme management routines to monitor progress, manage dependencies, and ensure delivery discipline
  • Facilitated behavioural alignment by embedding performance dialogues and collaboration norms across both legacy organisations

Results

  • Faster synergy capture across key business functions
  • Clear decision-making framework for post-merger governance
  • Smooth integration with minimal operational disruption

A Leading Mobile Provider in Indonesia Increased Sales Effectiveness by 70% and Expanded Distribution Reach from 30% to 70%

Challenge

In a highly competitive telecom market, the company lacked visibility and control over dealer performance. Most dealers acted as trader-wholesalers, driving hoarding and dumping behaviour, while sales were measured only by purchase volume rather than real sell-through.

To regain market discipline and improve execution, the company engaged Renoir to transform its sales and distribution operations—building transparency, accountability, and stronger performance management across more than 200 dealers nationwide.

Solution

  • Developed and installed a Sales & Channel Management Control System (MCS) to standardise planning, reviews, and KPI tracking
  • Introduced structured dealer management tools with clear distribution and outlet-growth targets
  • Established governance routines via a steering committee and regional Management Action Teams
  • Trained and coached sales operations and dealer teams through formal sessions and on-the-job mentoring
  • Embedded change agents to sustain behavioural discipline and continuous improvement

Results

  • +70% Effective sales calls
  • +26% Active sales outlets
  • Distribution reach increased from 30% to 70%

A Major Telco Increased Tower Utilisation by 18% and Reduced Leasing Costs Through Network Optimisation

Challenge

The company was experiencing low utilisation of its cellular tower infrastructure, resulting in high leasing costs and poor return on assets. Inefficient tower-sharing agreements and limited visibility of capacity usage further restricted optimisation opportunities across the network.

Recognising the need to turn infrastructure performance into a competitive advantage, the provider engaged Renoir to drive operational improvements by renegotiating sharing terms, improving asset control, and embedding data-driven utilisation management.

Solution

  • Reviewed and renegotiated tower-sharing agreements to achieve fairer cost allocation and improved partner compliance
  • Optimised tower capacity planning and allocation to balance load and maximise asset productivity
  • Implemented usage tracking dashboards to provide real-time visibility into tower utilisation and leasing efficiency
  • Introduced management control routines to monitor network performance and sustain continuous improvement
  • Developed internal capabilities for ongoing negotiation and capacity optimisation

Results

  • +18% Tower utilisation
  • Reduced leasing cost per user
