Mobile IT Financial Management

Wireless expenses are notoriously difficult to track and are becoming increasingly complex due to decentralized workplaces, workforce turnover, fragmented systems, and limited visibility across lifecycle phases which span people, devices, carriers, and finances.

The solution to these challenges lies in an integrated Mobile IT Financial Management platform. MobilSentry™ brings together carrier asset, status and billing information, HR information on employees, organizations and cost centers along with order transaction information. Our platform addresses both sides of the mobility equation: Expense & Billing Management and Asset Lifecycle Administration, each comprised of three core solution components.

Expense & Billing Management

Reporting & Analytics transforms raw billing data into business intelligence enabling better business decisions. An extensive suite of dashboards and tabular reports are available with single click drill-down to view individual subscribers cost and usage.

Invoice Optimization & Validation generates invoice savings by assisting in carrier negotiations, including staying on top of the latest carrier promotions. It also includes plan & feature optimization where appropriate and elimination of unused lines.  Once invoices are loaded, a range of validation tests are completed to identify invoice discrepancies, contract rate errors, missed credits and failed terminations.

HR Mapping & Cost Allocation improves financial accuracy by maintaining accurate user-to-device mapping with each month’s billing cycle.  Detailed cost tracking by user and device ensures timely and more precise chargeback reporting.  Once complete a customized report is delivered to ensure on-time payments with support for secure AP data transmission.
