Alongside deep telecom industry expertise, having a super-active Supply Chain Management (SCM) wing centrally managed through an ERP Software and small stores in every 100 KM distance, which reduce the time for delivery of materials, are the predominant game changers for Power Links to execute intricate projects to perfection.
