Wireless Expense Optimization

Return to: Expense Management

Our proprietary software and seasoned Expense Management Team provide a uniquely sustainable wireless expense optimization service that typically saves our clients 20-40% on their wireless expenses.

3 Months of Carrier Bills

First, we load 3 months of carrier bills into our industry-leading Data Audit Reconciliation Tool (DART). This robust tool consolidates the data from all carriers into a consistent format and uses sophisticated algorithms to analyze 3 month usage patterns and identify opportunities for optimization.

Voice Plan Optimization

Integrated Mobile's unique pooling methodology enables us to find additional 5-10% savings over the industry standard. Our Expense Management Team uses experience and our proprietary tools to optimize the pool, identify the optimal pooling buffer, and ensure that usage fluctuations do not result in overages.

"Power Users"

While pooling minutes reduces costs company-wide, it is sometimes beneficial to remove high-use departments and users from the pool to prevent them from throwing off cost-per-user averages. To maximize savings, our analysts evaluate all options available from the carriers such as individual plans, bundled plans, and add-a-phone options.

Zero-Use Devices

When positions are terminated or employees leave the company, often the phone is returned but the plan itself is not canceled. Devices that have shown no use for three months are flagged for possible cancellation or redeployment.

Defect Management

Costs are further reduced by evaluating feature add-ons such as text messaging, international roaming, and data add-ons. Our analysts may recommend adding features for devices that consistently incur overages or removing unused add-ons, eliminating the monthly recurring cost.

Wireless Policy Enforcement and Abuse Prevention

Text messaging and other features have worked their way into the corporate world, but may not be appropriate for all business roles. Integrated Mobile identifies usage that does not comply with your company's wireless policy such as unapproved feature usage and premium downloads.

Fraud Identification

Each billing cycle, the system compares the lines on the bill to the lines in our asset database to identify any lines that were added without company approval. This unique reconcilliation process has saved our clients thousands of dollars in fraudulant charges.

Discount and Contract Code Verification

Carrier billing is reviewed to ensure that the client is receiving all discounts. Disputes are taken directly to the carrier and our team verifies that all credits are posted.

Putting the Plan into Action

Once the optimization is complete, our recommendations and your projected savings are presented for your review. We work directly with the carriers to implement and verify the changes so that savings are effective as of the next available bill cycle.
