Do you know how much time your team spends on managing your mobile fleet and the associated telecom spending? These days, with distributed and remote workforces, most companies make use of a wide range of technology. As the number of mobile devices and services used within organisations steadily climbs, the time it takes your team to manage telecom expenses climbs with it. When it comes to reining in escalating telecom costs, many companies struggle to know where to start.
Often, there’s a lack of internal resources and expertise to manage telecom expenses which involves manually auditing each invoice and apportioning the (all too common) spiraling telecom costs to the appropriate divisions, teams, or departments.
When you consider each invoice often comes with hundreds of line items that combine equipment costs with service costs per owner or location, there’s a stack of admin work that needs to be done to verify the charges against specific contractual terms. Plus, when you use multiple carriers for different services, there’s the headache of different invoice formats and having to manage these different invoices for different regions and locations. As a result, it can be extremely difficult to get a complete view of the mobile fleet spend, putting the business at risk of both overspending on and underutilising services.
