Benefits of centralizing mobile communication for MNCs

LINES 1

Decentralized mobile communication can have its advantages for a multinational company, such as allowing for more local control and customization of services. However, it can also lead to complications such as a lack of control and visibility over multiple providers, contracts, and agreements in different territories, and increased complexity in cost management and reporting.

Centralizing mobile connectivity management can help address these issues and provide a more streamlined and efficient solution for multinational companies.

Why is it beneficial to centralize mobile connectivity?

Centralizing mobile connectivity management is important for multinational companies: it helps them gain control and visibility over their mobile fleets across territories, reduces complexity and hassle when dealing with multiple providers in diverse markets, optimizes procurement and management costs, and ensures reliable data and seamless experience through a single point of access. The FreeMove Alliance offers a central solution with local expertise and support, allowing companies to bring most of their terms together under one framework agreement, and provides a dedicated team for service management to resolve technical issues and manage mobile services efficiently.

The FreeMove Alliance promotes central coordination of mobile fleets through its Central Report platform. It offers a wide range of reports with varying levels of detail to facilitate cost control and usage analysis.

Central Report is a web-based, secure portal that offers real-time reporting on cost and usage for international fleets. It allows companies to track usage, including by region, business unit, time, and connection type, helping optimize mobile communication costs. The platform is user-friendly and easy to use, but the Alliance’s Business Support team is available for assistance. Local support is also provided for seamless integration into businesses.
