How does Predict make money?
We are paid in different ways depending on whether your business is direct or through a partner. It also depends on the number of mobile lines your business mobile account has. We charge depending on your circumstance and the amount of work required to find you the best solution. This includes, a percentage of savings achieved through the platform, a SaaS fee paid monthly based on a per line cost, a fee from the winning supplier once our customer has selected their supplier from the tender process. We also charge consultancy rates for more bespoke requirements. All our charges are very reasonable and in line with the size of the benefit our customers achieve and the work we put into delivering the results through the Predict Platform.
Is the Platform free to use?
No. We do not make money from selling your data for marketing purposes, unlike the majority of “Free” consumer comparison tools. Our solution is a B2B enterprise grade solution that delivers great value to our clients and partners. To fund this valuable activity we take a fair fee from our clients and partners. Generally, our fees are from incremental benefits otherwise unachievable by the customer. Therefore, our fee is more than compensated from the benefits our Platform provides customers.
How does the Platform calculate the potential savings?
By looking at both your historical costs and historical usage, we combine mobile market experience and machine learning to predict your future requirements. We then apply a benchmark tariff which is market competitive – but most likely to be improved when suppliers compete for your business – to predict potential savings. Our aim is to under promise and over deliver on the initial savings calculation.
