Mobile End User Statements

Overview

Nuvoli’s in-house Connect system can monitor every call, message and data packet from every device for every second of every day.  Each monthly invoice is then presented in both end user statements and manager level reports.  Our dynamic statements drive:

  • Full mobile cost transparency and awareness
  • Culture of individual and cost centre accountability
  • Tighter asset management

The Details

Nuvoli can receive call data on a live basis from the mobile network.  This puts us in a unique position to validate invoices before they are even raised.  You can be alerted to abnormal or unusual behaviour within 24 hours to mitigate the risk of bill shock.  Our dynamic end user statements are sent via email shortly after each invoice is generated and validated.  It provides each end user with a concise visual view of their mobile consumption and costs.  In addition, comparative data informs each user how they rank within their organisation in terms fostering improved awareness.  This brings an invoice to life and creates a culture of accountability.

Nuvoli will then work closely with your HR department and IT to keep your mobile asset inventory up to date.  Out of office replies or email bounce backs are monitored to prevent unnecessary costs to your organisation.

Cost centre managers will receive a single, simple monthly report detailing the expenditure and consumption for those users within their remit.  This provides a snapshot view of user behaviour and facilitates easy management of issues.

The Benefits

Nuvoli’s end user reporting is proven to change the mobile usage behaviour within your business with average reductions in out of bundle usage of more than 35%.  Each user becomes aware and accountable for their usage and their cost centre managers have full transparency.  Because we do not focus solely on cost but on how the mobile is used, employee efficiency can also benefit as managers can view how much time each user is spending making calls or consuming mobile data.
