Three for the Price of One? What is Data Plan Consolidation?

by foxtroton 7 October 2019in Zebra

There are various expenses you simply can’t eliminate from your operations. From labor costs to quality devices, every financial investment is meant to enhance workflow efficiency. On the other hand, misplaced investments may hinder productivity as your workers must manage multiple assets simultaneously with fewer resources. 

As a Mobile Managed Services provider, ISG reduces unnecessary costs by consolidating costly data plans into one service, saving an average 66% in connectivity rates. For example, the average delivery truck uses three devices per driver, each with its own SIM plan costing at least $25 per plan – around $75 per truck. Moreover, while most companies purchase 1 GB per device, workers tend to use as much as 350KB per device. With data plan consolidation, we streamline plans into one $25 service, ultimately reducing payables work. However, before selecting a data plan, ISG recommends companies to review mobility needs as well as three key aspects:

What to Look for in Your New Data Plan

  • Cellular coverage: Faster shipping rates and on-site tech support have changed customer expectations when it comes to field service. As a result, mobile workers are travelling faster and farther than ever; therefore, their technology must run efficiently to establish needed communication channels within on-the-move teams. To meet these new demands, ISG recommends wide-range coverage plans that support device functionality even in remote areas as well as boosted WiFi provided through systems such as Zebra Technologies’ WorryFree WiFi.

  • Workforce Adaptability: The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a 4% growth in delivery workers within the next decade, which means businesses can expect more workers to be added to their data plans. Consequently, your new network service should be cost-effective enough to grow with your business without harming your budget. Moreover, as new workers enter your team, you may also need new devices, which leads us to our next point…

  • Device Variety: Not every data plan accommodates unique enterprise-grade devices. Therefore, ISG offers a diverse portfolio of ergonomic devices compatible with your consolidation plans like Zebra Technologies’ TC57, which combines efficient omnidirectional data capture with long-range connectivity using multiple networking options such as WiFi and 4G LTE.

3 to 1: What is Technology Consolidation?

by foxtroton 3 October 2019in Zebra

Your mobile workers –delivery drivers, field service, etc.– travel long distances in small spaces while carrying three essential tools to maintain continuous productivity and customer satisfaction:

  • One communication device such as a cellphone
  • One data entry device such as a tablet 
  • One data capture device such as a portable scanner

Each device requires its own data plan, warranty license operating system, and additional services that further drive up maintenance costs besides creating superfluous workflows that delay your on-the-move workforce. Managing multiple service plans and devices can become stressful and ultimately impact productivity as markets become more demanding. That’s why ISG strives to simplify workflows, secure uptime, and ensure employee satisfaction without impairing productivity.  How do we do it? The simple answer – Consolidation.

Using the latest technology from leading manufacturers such as Zebra Technologies, ISG is simplifying workforce mobility by streamlining disparate technologies into one enterprise-grade device with one data plan, one warranty, and one operating system. Equip your mobile workforce with trusted efficiency that comes when you simplify operations with the leaders in Mobile Managed Services.

What does True Consolidation Look Like?

Demonstrating consolidation’s easy integration, devices such as the TC77 stands as a perfect start to your streamlining solution since it combines connectivity, data entry, and data capture all in one user-friendly yet enterprise-grade device. Simplify your workflow through to

  • Reduce Maintenance Costs: Each running device needs its own data plan, which may average around $40 per device. By replacing many technologies with one multifunctional device, you automatically lower operational costs by cutting two data plans from your budget. In other words, an average $1,440 data plan bill is drastically reduced to nearly $480 per worker.
  • Create Seamless Onboarding: As employee turnover rates escalate, creating faster onboarding strategies is crucial to retain qualified personnel. Minimize training times by reducing the number of devices given to seasonal workers and empower them with intuitive technology and Zebra’s familiar fortified Android OS, all built to resemble their consumer-grade devices. 
  • Simplify Technical Support: Streamline multiple warranties into one service plan to create manageable technical support resources for your mobile team. Plus, increase device availability by integrating rugged hardware designed to withstand the tough demands mobile workers encounter daily.

With a broad portfolio of rugged devices designed for field mobility, ISG can help you develop a consolidation solution centered on your needs. Discover your customized strategy when you reach out to our consolidation specialists for a free assessment of your current workflow and modernize your workforce with solutions designed for enterprise success. 

Still, have consolidation questions? Come back soon to learn exactly how ISG streamlines service plans while maximizing connectivity through one cost-effective plan.
