Mobile strategy

The correct mobile strategy provides flexibility for staff, reduces costs substantially and increases transparency for users and management.

Fleet Mobile’s approach is to look at the whole estate, what the business requirements are, the geographical spread of connections, business processes, and network coverage. Only then are you able to define a strategy.

In defining a strategy companies should be able to predict their expenditure and this should align with the overall business strategy, including expansion and role-based functionality.

Having defined the correct strategy, companies should look to partner with service providers that share their approach and are flexible to meet those needs.  This may include new business initiatives where new technology and functionality can facilitate increased efficiencies.

Mobile cost audit

Mobile telephony is often one of the most expensive items on a telecoms budget, especially if international travel is involved. The UK mobile market is highly competitive and with the right market information your total spend could reduce year on year.

Our full cost audit looks at all elements of the mobile billing, with the aim of highlighting unnecessary and non-cost-effective charges. The process will review the current contracts, tariffs and subscriptions, actual billed costs, voice call and text usage pence per minute and data usage per user and across your estate. We will analyse the contracted rates against actual invoiced costs and identify all chargeable elements on your invoices, making recommendations on whether a service or line is required and if cost saving can be realised.

Understanding your mobile account will enable critical decisions to be made from a point of knowledge.

Mobile device audit

Managing mobile estates is difficult and a pain point of many of our clients, unexpected costs, lost and stolen handsets, handsets not being used at all, and a lack of management information to name but a few.  Often the best way to regain control is an audit of the mobile estate.

An audit of the account would include cross referencing all existing mobile numbers to ascertain genuine use, this will highlight numbers that could be reallocated or cancelled. The audit will be tailored to fit with your requirements and can include all user information you may require. For instance, you can include asset management, as it captures any instances where departments or individuals have swapped devices or sim cards internally without any notification on a Starters, Movers and Leavers system or asset register. This could also help identify any users with broken or unsafe phones or accessories that may require renewal.

The information collected during your audit can not only help to regain control of your account, but also ensure any account contract renewals only recommit to mobile numbers and equipment for which there is a genuine business need.
