Challenge

Client was frustrated with their incumbent TEM provider because there was no procedure in place to make sure all monthly invoices were processed in a timely manner, incurring hundreds of dollars in late fees and services disconnected for non-payment. In addition, there was no accurate inventory of their services or accounts tied to the client’s GL coding.

“I was so frustrated at all of the things (another TEM provider) was NOT doing for us, and so happy about all of the things you ARE doing for us. It’s been a long time coming, but I enjoy having a relationship with a partner who really has it together. You are doing an amazing job—and we see the hard work and late nights paying off. Consider us a client who will reference for you willingly and with pleasure.”

—Trudy Kirk, Carlson Inc.
