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.
