“This involves consolidating similar applications for different brands under one system and streamlining business processes through a unified platform and simplified processes,” Ray Espinosa, chief corporate services officer for PLDT added.
As a result, PLDT, Smart, Sun and TNT will be able to offer more personalized offers and rewards for their customers.
