Proactive Cost Control
Mid-market companies are restructuring their wireless cost management processes to include optimization tools like MobilSentry.
- They understand carrier pricing models make it challenging to match unpredictable monthly usage against rapidly changing carrier rate plans and features. They also recognize wireless carriers lack the motivation to help spend the minimum on wireless services proactively. MobilSentry uses time-proven wireless expense algorithms along with the most current carrier offerings to systematically review all pool, rate plans, and features. This guarantees the lowest possible wireless invoice monthly:
- Aggressive monthly rate and feature optimization
- Real-time data pool sizing avoids overage charges
- Zero Use device suspension and termination eliminates over-payment for unneeded and unused devices
- Quantifies ROI by tracking savings monthly
Trending & Reporting
The advanced analytics of MobilSentry transforms raw billing data into business intelligence, supporting more effective and timely business decisions.
- Customer-definable threshold alerts make direct management aware of policy violations.
- Single-Click, drill-down detail enables views of individual device cost and usage history.

By merging Human Resource information monthly with carrier invoice data, MobilSentry provides an intuitive and powerful online business reporting function to key administrators and management via secure login access.

Usage Monitoring In Real-Time
With MobilSentry, companies can gain deeper insights into user behavior by viewing usage patterns in the monthly trending reports.
- Detail information for each data, voice, and messaging transaction.
- Data usage patterns indicate usage amounts by the time of day and peak and off-peak use.
Helping employees be accountable
- Helping employees take direct responsibility for monitoring their monthly activity will ensure they act responsibly. MobilSentry can deliver a monthly email recapping usage and charges to each employee, with managers also receiving an email summarizing all departmental usage and costs.
Enabling real-time controls
- It is no longer sufficient to manage employee usage only with historical information. Companies are discovering the value of learning in real-time about excessive usage. With MobilSentry it is now possible to receive text or email alerts when data use thresholds are reached. Alerts can now bring immediate focus and attention to individual behaviors and provide the option for quick adjustments to mobile plans. Devices can be moved to other small pools, or data overusing devices can temporarily be assigned unlimited plans. These proactive real-time actions can have a dramatic and positive impact on cost.

Lifecycle Management
The financial and security risk associated with company data left on end-of-life corporate-liable devices is a legitimate and growing concern. The cost of data breaches is on the rise.
- Even when employees or MDM software is resetting a device to factory settings and wiping data, it doesn’t prevent individuals with bad intent from retrieving confidential information from a discarded device. To address this growing security concern and also to be more environmentally conscious with mobile device disposal, MobilSense provides certified recycling and disposal. This service provides a one-stop-shop for wiping and disposal integrated with MobilSentry Order Manager.
- Why is my mobile data still at risk if I have reset my device to factory settings?
- To wipe the data successfully from a device no longer in service requires the expertise of a certified organization that meets industry and U.S. federal government standards. Complete data destruction requires supplemental technology and expertise to wipe all retrievable data because device manufacturers do not provide adequate tools.
- What are the benefits of recycling?
- Most mobile phones contain plastics and precious metals, and when placed in a landfill can pollute the air and contaminate soil and drinking water. Recycling obsolete mobile phones promote a positive impact on the environment by protecting natural resources.
