FlexiPlan

Turn manual planning into governed, repeatable workflows

A low-code/no-code automation framework, integrated with the NetCM platform, that lets domain experts design and automate end-to-end network planning. FlexiPlan enables dynamic metadata and database configuration, including logical entity linking, extensive column properties, and validation rules. FlexiPlan supports action workflows with success/failure gates and solution-specific business logic, dynamic lookup data filtering, user-input forms, and grid views. This translates into a config-driven user interface and therefore into a rapid product prototyping for telcos.

What we can evidence

Measured

Automate planning workflows without writing code.

Low-code and no-code workflow automation with IPAM integrated directly into configuration management, so address planning and parameter planning share one source of truth rather than two spreadsheets.

The problem it solves

Network planning is still largely a spreadsheet discipline: repetitive engineering work, human configuration errors, slow approval cycles, and a disconnect between the plan and what actually gets provisioned. FlexiPlan lets the people who understand the domain digitise those workflows themselves, without waiting on custom development, and connects the resulting plan directly to configuration and activation through NetCM.

Capabilities

  • Low-code/no-code workflow construction — domain experts build and change processes without custom development.
  • Planning and configuration automation connected directly to NetCM, so intent flows through to implementation.
  • IP address management across the network lifecycle: allocate addresses, identify conflicts, and connect IP planning to network configuration.
  • Site and cell identifier generation and mapping, integration forecasting, and transmission and radio planning workflows.
  • New-site workflows spanning activity and sub-activity tracking, cell and interface association, and GIS and SON association.
  • Approval and governance controls retained throughout — automation without losing the audit trail.

Key messages

  • Empower domain experts to digitise their own workflows.
  • Reduce reliance on custom development for every process change.
  • Connect planning to configuration and activation as one governed chain.
  • Progress from assisted to closed-loop operations while keeping approval gates.

What is built on it: IPAM

IP address management is the clearest example of what the framework is for. IPAM is not a standalone application - it inherits FlexiPlan's workflow engine, business rules, dashboards, approvals, integrations and APIs, and adds the IP-specific components on top. That is why an operator can change an allocation policy, an approval chain or a request form without a code change, and why IP allocation is governed the same way as every other planning workflow.

IPAM is delivered commercially within NetCM; FlexiPlan is the framework underneath it.
