In this case study, we were
hired by a consumer product manufacturing firm.
Due to the nature of their business, they had a relatively small number
of mobile devices. Prior to performing
the analysis, the client indicated that they had a telecom manager which
managed their mobile costs. In addition,
they had a pool plan with their vendor.
As such, they believed that we
would not find any significant savings.
Due to the no risk nature of this service, they agreed to "give us a
shot". Within 3 weeks we were able to
uncover approximately $62,000.00 in savings.
The client did not have to change contracts, vendors, phones, coverage
areas, account managers. Only their rate codes on each individual user changed. Using our extensive database of over 10,000
rate plans and algorithms, we were able to identify rate plans that not even
their account manager had access to. In addition,
we were able to modify their pooling structure to take better advantage of "bolt-on"
plans which ultimately reduced their costs.
As a follow up, the client
signed up for the ongoing management services and although they have increased
their number of phones by over 40%, their total invoice is lower than it was before
we started, saving an addition $22,000.00, just in the first 6 months of using
the service. We expect additional
savings.
