See How Bluewave Helped a Global Steel Manufacturer and Supplier Save on Mobility Costs

The Client

A leading steel supplier and manufacturer, with a global presence, employing over 10,000 people across more than 50 locations. They specialize in providing commercial building components and operate their own steel manufacturing plants.

The Challenge

The client was facing several challenges related to their mobility services. At the time, their mobile and wireless services were spread across three different providers: AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. This fragmented approach limited their buying power, leading to increased costs and complexity in managing their mobile services. The client had to dedicate significant resources to managing day-to-day activities, and the existing setup required them to hire an additional full-time employee (FTE) to handle the workload effectively. Moreover, the lack of visibility and automation in the portals provided by the previous providers added to the inefficiencies and created additional administrative overhead.

Our Approach

To address the challenges, the client sought the assistance of Bluewave, an advisory and sourcing partner. Bluewave took a comprehensive approach to find the most suitable solution by obtaining and reviewing the client’s mobility usage reports to gain a deeper understanding of their requirements. After analyzing the data, Bluewave explored three new potential providers. Bluewave presented the thorough analysis and the client decided to consolidate their mobile services with MetTel. This move enabled them to streamline their services, resulting in a unified approach with a single provider, offering numerous benefits.

Results

The implementation of MetTel’s services brought about several notable improvements for the client:

  • 25% MONTHLY SAVINGS: By consolidating services with MetTel and leveraging their competitive wholesale rates, the client achieved a remarkable 25% reduction in their monthly mobile expenses, leading to significant cost savings.
  • IMPROVED CUSTOMER PORTAL: MetTel’s advanced portal provided the client with enhanced visibility, control, and automation, leading to more efficient management of their mobility services.
  • FREE ADVANCED REPLACEMENT FOR DEVICES: MetTel’s offering of free advanced replacements for lost, damaged, or stolen devices helped the client mitigate downtime and improve overall productivity, on top of cost savings.
  • ACCESS TO APPLE BUSINESS MANAGER: MetTel’s integration with Apple Business Manager provided the client with seamless management of their Apple devices, simplifying device deployment and management processes.
  • PRE-BUILT INTEGRATION TO SERVICENOW: MetTel’s integration with ServiceNow, a leading IT service management platform, streamlined workflows and created operational efficiencies for the client.
