How it works

Are you a business or a public sector organisation?

Billmonitor for Business – A 5 step process

1. We crunch your bill, comparing your usage against 1.2-million tariff and bundle combinations.

After we sync your online mobile phone account with our software, our analysis engine automatically crunches your bill data to discover how you actually use your phones and tablets.

This reveals which contract features (data, minutes, international roaming etc.) you under and overuse – in short, exactly where you’re able to make improvements and thus realise savings.

Our software then searches all available tariffs and bundles from the three big networks, tracking down the very best tariff and bundle combination to match your company’s actual usage and maximise savings.

2. We provide you with a free, no obligation summary of our findings, including your savings potential.

One of our advisors will then talk you through the initial findings and recommendations. We will explain exactly where you’ve been overcharged and will suggest some initial strategies to start your money saving.

We will also discuss your specific handset, network, and procurement preferences – if you wish to use an independent mobile phone agent, they’ll recommend one that you can trust.

You can then decide to walk away with a much better understanding of your requirements or appoint Billmonitor to help implement the money-saving recommendations.

3. We work with you to secure the best deal with the networks, whether you are in or out of contract.

This is the part we enjoy the most, since it’s where we get to put our expertise to work. Negotiation is a critical part of structuring a business contract and securing the best value for our customers.

There are several ways to negotiate a good contract, it all depends on what is most important for you and understanding how far each network is willing to go to win or retain your business.

4. We charge you a percentage of money saved as our fee (no savings, no fee).

Billmonitor is truly independent of any network provider. We align our interests with those of our clients, which means that we will ask you to pay us a fee.

Unlike traditional mobile phone agents, who earn a commission from the network providers (the bigger your bill the higher is their commission), we charge you a percentage of your savings. This means that, unless we save you money, you pay us absolutely nothing.

Our standard fee is 30% of the calculated contract savings, subject to the size of the mobile fleet and complexity of the transaction. In this way, we are incentivised to minimise your costs, aligning our interests with yours. We also offer fixed fee or monthly monitoring fee arrangements to meet your requirements.

Go to our about us page for more info on how our business model differs from network sales reps and mobile phone agents, and why ours is better for you.

5. We offer you additional, optional bill monitoring services.

In addition to our one-time advisory service, we also offer ongoing bill monitoring, cost centre reporting and hassle free mobile fleet management.

Our ongoing monitoring services make sure that you get the most out of your contract throughout its duration. Contracts should be tweaked periodically to ensure your mobile bills are as low as possible.

This service is charged as a monthly fee per connection, subject to the size and complexity of your mobile phone arrangements.
