Our Meticulous Approach…Your Telecom Savings

Your telecommunication needs constantly evolve – whether your organization is growing, reorganizing, consolidating, or even maintaining the status quo. If you don’t keep an accurate inventory of your telecom assets, you can spend up to millions of dollars unnecessarily. So Quickcomm takes a meticulous approach to managing your inventory – and can help your organization reduce your overall telecom expenses by up to 30 percent.

Inventory management: a TEM “must”

Inventory control is the linchpin of telecom expense management (TEM), because you simply can’t manage your telecom expenses if you don’t know what you have. Careful inventory management is the key to complete visibility into your overall telecom costs – and the most significant, consistent driver of your telecom savings. Yet, inventory management is an increasingly complex process. You must track data circuits, mobile devices, phone lines, toll-free numbers, direct inward dialing (DID) numbers, and more. So much can fall through the cracks. For example, your organization may have handsets or mobile devices no longer in use. If the service is not cancelled on those lines, you will still be charged for it…month after month. At Quickcomm, we give you a 360-degree view of your telecom devices and services for all your locations, all around the world – making sure you only pay for the telecom assets you have and use.

We sweat the small stuff

Unlike other TEM providers, Quickcomm manages your inventory right down to the smallest details. We analyze your telecom inventory at the billing telephone number (BTN) and working telephone number (WTN) levels, but we drill all the way down into the billing components (BC) associated with each circuit, line, or device. Each component has a contracted charge associated with it – and for some clients, our expert analysis at this precise level has led to annual telecom savings to the tune of millions of dollars on these costs alone.

Our fully managed service

Your trusted TEM advisors at Quickcomm take a proactive approach to managing your inventory for you:

• We analyze your existing contracts, current invoices, order information, and customer service records (CSRs) to build an accurate, authoritative telecom inventory of validated devices and services
• We compile and review your inventory each month to determine exceptions and verify them with you before updating your inventory or disputing invalid changes with carriers
• We track granular data with more than 140 attributes, which we then reconcile against your invoices
• We manage all cost components of inventory, including the billing rate, inventory rate, and contracted rate to ensure accurate reporting. All our reports show the actual cost of each circuit and billing component, no matter how the carrier invoices you for them
• We verify all moves, adds, changes, and deletions (MACDs) in our system to make sure all activity is accurately reflected in your invoices and ensure that any new inventory – voice, data, or wireless – is in compliance with your current contracted rates
