How does Predict make money?
We are paid a fair fee from the winning supplier once our customer has selected their supplier from the tender process.
Is the Platform free to use?
Yes. We want to improve the way the mobile industry operates and have chosen to make our comparison platform accessible to all organisations.
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.
How much money can I save on my business mobile communications contract?
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.
Which supplier does Predict work with?
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.
Why should I use Predict rather than going direct to either a mobile network or an independent supplier?
Predict combines extensive market experience and technology to save you from repeating the same mistakes that result in the mobile industry over-charging business over £1bn* every year.

This means your decision is totally data led. You may in fact still end up choosing your incumbent supplier if that is your preferred solution and save money in the process.
