Mobile Expense Management

Drive down costs and gain clear visibility into your mobile usage for your entire company.

Cut Mobile Costs and Fuel Innovation

Too often, companies overbuy mobile data out of fear. Fear of overage charges or throttled speeds. It's like locking into a two-year electricity contract at double your actual usage: wasteful, frustrating, and avoidable.  

Mobile Expense Management (MEM) gives your business the visibility and accountability to pay only for what you need, while unlocking funds to reinvest in other priorities. Clients typically achieve 1% monthly savings — every month — even as data usage continues to grow 80–100% each year.

Three Areas MEM Can Help Your Business

Report, Optimize, Implement

Turn raw billing data into useful reports, identify no usage / low usage / high usage,  optimize data plans, and implement agreed savings to save money.

Personal Spend Management

Build and distribute an Individual Spend Report (ISR) to give each employee visibility into their usage of the company paid cellular plan. Automate payroll deductions to ensure fairness without awkward conversations.

Cost Center Reporting

Automate the allocation of costs from IT to the relevant Cost Centers. This can include cellular costs, software licenses and SaaS subscriptions by employee, distributed to the respective to the appropriate cost centers.

How MEM Works

Our analysts ingest raw billing files from the cellular carriers each day to our data warehouse which is structured to report by your employees, cost centers, and divisions. This removes the reliance on maintaining the structure in the carriers' billing tools.   

Track usage by employee to anticipate cost overruns and intervene early to prevent heavy users from blowing your budget.  

Since 2008, Mobile Mentor has delivered an average of  1% compound monthly savings across 7 mobile networks worldwide. This adds up to millions saved over the years. 

Provide employees with granular visibility of their company paid cellular plans, with an option to volunteer an automated reimbursement via payroll for personal usage of the company plan. This improves accountability, avoids fringe-benefit tax complications and eliminates awkward conversations with employees. 

  • On average employees with this option reimburse 3.5% of the mobile bill to the company. 

  • Align employees with cost centers to shift the cost allocation from a general IT cost bucket to the appropriate cost center. This can include cellular usage, Microsoft licenses and other SaaS subscriptions. This reduces the admin burden across IT, Finance, and HR.

  • Remove unfair pressure on the IT budget by assigning usage costs appropriately to the business.
