Substantial mobile phone cost savings
On auditing the mobile phone costs for all the companies in the group, we noticed that the client was using a number of different suppliers and paying excessive rates. We spent time gathering detailed data, analysed it and produced a call profile for each handset. After discussions with several managers and directors, we compiled a comprehensive tender document setting out all of the client’s needs. We then sent the tender document to several reputable suppliers able to manage an account with over 150 handsets.
As a result of the tender we managed to save the client in excess of £20,000 per annum (over 32%) whilst enabling them to remain with their current provider and receive an improved service. In addition we managed to secure over £7,500 of equipment free of charge. We also were able to make a saving of around £1,500 per annum on the cost of office to mobile calls.
“Business Cost Consultants have really taken pressure off myself and my staff. Dealing with telecom bills for our group of companies was becoming a nightmare to administer. They have brought clarity and sanity to our telecom bills and services. We are also able to refer about 10 telecom salesmen a week to Business Cost Consultants. All of that saves us so much time and hassle. That is in addition to the substantial savings they have made for us, particularly in mobile phones, telecoms and LPG costs.” — Jim Raeburn (Managing Director)
