Home Builder Case #1
Client Description
A large national home builder.
Logistics
16 Locations nationwide
Challenge
This client has one administrator in each of the 16 locations
struggling to manage their own individual account. While all
locations have the same provider, they have not been able to
successfully leverage their economies of scale and have been
unable to secure consistent pricing models through multiple
markets. The administrators are also tied up in other core
business related functions, and as a result, are unable to
spend the time necessary to research their carrier and properly
manage the account on an ongoing basis.
Action Taken
This customer outsourced the overall management and administrative
functions of all 16 accounts to CPS. The steps taken by CPS were:
- Implement consistent pricing across markets
- Verify and validate all usage
- Verify and validate all billings/charges
- Implement new plans and pricing structures
- Reconcile all usage and billings on a monthly basis
- Modify exceptions and features monthly as required
Results
This client has realized a 35% external cost reduction with the
carrier. Monthly cost per unit declined from $118.69 to $77.72.
Client saved $40.97 per unit per month.Internally, 16 administrators were able to reallocate 20% of their time to more profitable functions. By industry standards, that is $12,000.00 in employee time reallocated to the core business.

Challenge
This client had three administrators managing the accounts they have
with two different carriers, one of whom had an extensive background
with wireless, having spent over 10 years with one of the carriers.
However, the IT Director was not convinced that his accounts were as
efficient as they could be. The monthly expenses were continuing to
rise, even though they made monthly changes to the rate plans to keep
up with the employees ever-changing usage patterns. Despite negative
feedback from the administrators, he decided to proceed with CPS.
Action Taken
This customer received a comprehensive audit, which included rate plan
modifications and changes to the corporate discount structure with the
carriers. The steps taken by CPS were:
- Verify and validate all usage
- Verify and validate all billings/charges

HVAC Case #3
Client Description
A large HVAC Services company.
Logistics
1 Location
Challenge
This client has one administrator working to manage their account. The
client had negotiated a great rate plan from the carrier. After several
months on the new plan, the carrier began contacting the client, offering
to move them to newer rate plans. However, this client always refused
because they did not want to forfeit their great plan. Upon engagement
with CPS, they felt they had a no-lose opportunity. They were primarily
interested in cost reduction, as they were continuing to watch their
monthly billings rise despite the great rate plans.
Action Taken
CPS provided a detailed account audit along with strong recommendations
on the necessary changes required in order to maximize the return on their
wireless expense. The steps taken by CPS were:
- Verify and validate all usage
- Verify and validate all billings/charges
- Implement new plans and pricing structures
- Work with Carrier to ensure proper implementation
Results
This client has realized a 37% external cost reduction with the carrier.
Monthly cost per unit declined from $133.30 to $83.98. Client saved $49.32
per unit per month.
