Optimise Your Hybrid Team's Communication Spend

The Challenge

Hybrid working models, while offering flexibility, often introduce new complexities in budget management, particularly for mobile communications. Organisations struggle with uncontrolled mobile expenses stemming from personal device usage (BYOD), disparate communication tools, and a lack of visibility into call costs across distributed teams.

Business Impact

Unforeseen Mobile Costs

Without a unified approach, employees in hybrid setups might use personal mobiles for business calls, leading to unverified expenses, complicated reimbursement processes, and potential overspending. The lack of corporate oversight on these crucial communications can quickly erode budget efficiencies aimed for by adopting hybrid models.

Inefficient Expense Management

Reconciling mobile expenses across numerous individual plans and devices for a hybrid workforce consumes significant administrative time and resources. This inefficient process diverts valuable staff away from more strategic tasks and increases the potential for errors or fraud, directly impacting the bottom line.

How Tango Extend Solves This

Tango Extend unifies all business communications through a single, compliant mobile service, helping organisations gain complete control over their spending for hybrid teams. By integrating business mobile numbers directly into platforms like Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex Calling, it eliminates the need for separate mobile contracts for business use, streamlining costs and enhancing financial visibility.

• Unified Billing — Consolidate all business mobile communications onto a single bill, simplifying expense tracking and reducing administrative overhead.
• Reduced BYOD Costs — Enable employees to use their personal devices with a distinct business mobile number, eliminating the need for corporate-issued mobiles while maintaining full corporate control and cost recovery.
• Predictable Spending — Implement clear communication policies and easily monitor usage, leading to more predictable and manageable communication budgets for your hybrid workforce.

Use Case

A mid-sized tech company with 60% of its workforce operating in a hybrid model faced escalating mobile communication costs and an administrative nightmare managing individual employee mobile reimbursements. Adopting Tango Extend allowed them to issue virtual business numbers to all employees, routing calls through their existing Microsoft Teams environment. This centralised their mobile communications, resulting in a 25% reduction in overall mobile spending within six months and significantly streamlined their expense reporting processes, freeing up their finance team.
