Wireless expense management solution helps track and monitor all wireless usage and costs, allowing healthcare organizations to make better decisions regarding their mobile environment.

Organizations may have many users that have individual rate plans, and optimization helps in creating pooled plans which are more cost effective. The process also includes the identification of under-usage or non-usage mobile devices, which can be decommissioned and save the business a significant amount of money.

Real time reports can be generated and automatically sent to the concerned managers about the list of users who are over-and under-utilizing their wireless devices. This helps managers make better decisions and manage their employees more effectively. The software also helps negotiate the best-in-market rates, terms, and conditions, and also tracks performance against those contracts and alerts about upcoming expirations.
