Telarus Technology

The Secret to Our Success

In business, having relationships, charisma, a strong work ethic, and great carrier offerings are not enough. You have to have the right tools to succeed.

One of the best kept secrets of Telarus is the fact that we are a software company. However, unlike most traditional firms, we are not paid for development, installation, training, or for monthly license fees per user. We are paid only when our technology helps our partners generate new business - which means that our stuff has to work, be usable, and be accurate. Even though our business revolves around relationships, consulting, and gaining the trust of our customers and agents, having the absolute best technology is our company's mission - it's what allows our agents and staff the ability to make quick decisions that create competitive advantages in the marketplace. This mission is the reason why half of our entire staff writes or manages the development of Cold Fusion, SQL, and PHP code.

"Our mission is to be the most highly advanced sales agency in the world. We will accomplish this by carefully listening to the marketing and sales departments who dictate the projects that IT undertakes as well as the order in which these projects are completed."
Patrick Oborn Telarus Co-Founder Chief Innovation Officer

List of Technological Accomplishments

Below we have compiled a brief summary of our technology so that you can gain a greater appreciation for the code that is the "engine under the hood".

• GeoQuote - In 2003 we authored (and patented) the world's first real-time commercial telecom pricing software. We provide every agent who works with us with a private-labelled web site that has GeoQuote software pre-installed. In addition, agents can run additional quotes in their own back office. The results of GeoQuote can then be converted into Official Proposals by the agent and sent to the customer in just seconds.



• GeoQuote PLUS - Even the best telecom agent has trouble meeting fresh prospects without new leads. Telarus generates leads for its agents using trade secret strategies in search engine optimization. Likewise, Telarus has direct and indirect agents who specialize in online and offline lead generation. Combined these agents submit hundreds of leads for both telecom service and equipment each and every day.



• VARSearch - Value Added Resellers have found a new home in our VAR Network program in which they receive telecom equipment and repair leads. Our network currently consists of over 2,000 VARs nationwide, representing PBX phone system vendors such as Cisco, Avaya, Nortel, Mitel, 3Com, NEC, ShoreTel, and more. As these VARs send Telarus more telecom service orders, the VAR Network allocates a heavier allotment of equipment leads in return.



• Back Office Software - We're not talking about a simple version of SalesForce.com, MasterStream, or some other "off the shelf" package that anyone can buy. Our back office software is written with agents in mind - putting all of your customer information, previous quotes, proposals, tasks, notes, commission history, email correspondences, orders, paperwork, etc. at your fingertips on one page. Agents can also create additional logins for administrative assistance and/or employees so that they can access specific areas of the agent back office in a customer support role.



• MARS - Master Agent Reporting System - MARS is a web-based management platform that allows other companies the ability to enjoy all of the competitive advantages that Telarus has enjoyed for so long - real-time agent sales reports, accounting oversight, sales funnel statistics, fallout, and much more. Master agents who agree to sell under Telarus' contracts have free, unlimited access to MARS.



• VENUS - VAR Enterprise Network Update System - VENUS was created specifically with larger VARs in mind, especially those with full-time staff dedicated to the sales of carrier services. VENUS allows VARs the ability to set up sub-accounts for its employees and/or independent reps, providing the administrator with a bird's eye view of all the activity happening within the organization. VARs who agree to sell under Telarus' contracts have free, unlimited access to VENUS.
