How Do You Control Wireless Expense And Asset Management?

Concern surrounding costs in companies is at an all-time high, and in many areas of the market, most common sources of cost cuts have already been taken into account, meaning that there are fewer and fewer places that you can cut your costs to improve profitability without getting creative.

Fortunately, there is one area that is still a major source of potential cost cuts for many companies, and that is a mobile device plan. While getting rid of a mobile device plan ends up going too far, the average plan has plenty of additional expense built in that can be removed when you are armed with the right tools. Let’s examine a few ways that wireless expense and asset management tools from companies like MobilSense can help you with this:

Managing your wireless costs as a whole

A major way to manage your overall mobile device costs is to actually look into your wireless cost accounting to see what it is that you are paying for in the first place. Many companies end up building on their mobile device plan over time, resulting in a costly plan that may not reflect the actual needs of the users on your plan. For example, if you have employees that use their devices primarily to download data from the home network when they are on the road, it’s essential that you have enough data to support this use. The question is, how much data do you need?

This is where a cost accounting system like the one that MobilSense provides comes into play. It will let you see what you are paying relative to other ‘benchmark’ companies with similar needs, giving you leverage that you need to renegotiate your contract in your favor. Other times, your contract is actually fairly structured (and fairly priced), but your plan overages are eating into your budget. In this case, you can use their wireless cost accounting tool to forecast your plan needs over time and renegotiate your plan to fit your current (and future) usage into the standard price, eliminating high overage costs that you would otherwise be paying.

Eliminating IT Time Requirements

The other common source of costs is more nuanced, and that is the cost of setting up and managing mobile devices, Even the smallest operation has the potential to save dozens or even hundreds of hours per year with this software, resulting in large cost savings.
