Yes. We want to improve the way the mobile industry operates and have chosen to make our comparison platform accessible to all organisations

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.

Based on the customers who have used the platform the average saving is £80,000 over the 24 month contract period. This equates to almost 50% of the fixed contract costs. Although not all customers will save £80,000 if they are smaller than the average 120 mobile line business already using the platform, however the percentage saving will be similar for smaller accounts based on our current customer base.

Predict has a large panel of UK’s best business mobile specialist suppliers who connect to the main business networks EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three.  All of our suppliers are vetted and selected based on established reputation, capabilities, and standards, as well as recommendation by tier-1 mobile network operators, EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three.

You need to understand which solution is the best for value, has the most suitable tariffs, which network has the best signal for your locations and which supplier can offer the appropriate service wrapper. Striking a balance between these core elements is down to your requirements. The Predict Platform enables you to assess all these key criteria in an open, accurate and transparent way.

It can be difficult to understand your data requirements.  By analysing your bills, the Platform can clearly tell you how much data you are currently using, if you are unnecessarily paying for data that you don’t currently need and what your likely requirements are for future.

The Platform then helps you to create a tender tailored for your data requirements and enables the suppliers to respond to that tender with a bespoke data package.

A pot of money that you can use toward equipment. Some suppliers require you to buy handsets from them, others allow you to take it as cash and there is also everything in between.  The hardware fund comes as a benefit for connecting to a specific tariff. Generally, the higher the monthly tariff cost the higher the hardware fund.

They can but you may need to separate the business data held on a device from the personal. This can include apps and information. There are also differing tax rules relating to a ‘bring your own device’ policy. Separating the personal from business on the same device requires a special software call mobile device management or MDM.  This can either be included in the tariff or bought as a separate package. This should be factored into your decision on whether to allow personal devices for work purposes, and we are happy to talk you through the options.

We make it easier for you to make informed, impartial decisions by ranking each element of the supplier proposals using our market expertise and insight. 

You can compare the elements of each proposal across all the proposals and see which scores the highest.  It is not just about cost. 

You see genuine side-by-side comparison on all elements of the supplier Proposals.  Our extensive market experience and advanced analytics enables us to translate and standardise the Tender criteria – we know which questions to ask, how to ask them and how to score the responses. 

We do this in four main ways.  Firstly, everything is anonymised – the suppliers do not know the customer who they are creating a proposal for.  Secondly, there is only one Tender which all suppliers respond to.  Thirdly, the suppliers have to respond to a defined format.  Finally, the suppliers are asked to submit their best offer removing unnecessary negotiation 

Each supplier will have their own terms and conditions that may include a cooling off period if a statutory requirement.

Your Contract is stored on the platform, and can be accessed or downloaded at any time

It will depend on your chosen supplier.  They will either come from the suppliers own billing platform or directly from the tier one networks, Vodafone, O2, EE or Three.  Your supplier will explain this to you.

We can repeat the process.  We prepopulate your new tender requirements based on your usage.  You can then do a final check and submit through the platform as before.
