Vanttage
Designed with speed and ease of use in mind, Vanttage allows you to view, compare & analyse mobile expenditure across all countries and networks.
This gives you the freedom to choose the most appropriate mobile network operator or operators to suit your geographic organisation, without the disadvantage of disparate bills in different formats, languages and currencies.
Key features
Multi-language
Vanttage supports English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Swedish, with more languages to follow.
Multi-country
Vanttage is capable of handling billing data from any network in any country. The only limitation is the ability of some networks to provide the data required.
Multi-currency
Financial data is capable of being stored in any currency, therefore multi-country bills can be viewed in whichever currency is most convenient.
Currency converter
A built-in currency converter allows you to enter your own currency rates and to consolidate costs into a single currency for all countries.
Multi-data protection regime
Local variations in privacy protection are allowed for. For example, a user may be able to see the details of their own private calls, but their manager can only see the billing summary.
Data storage
24 months of data stored for analysis across all countries.
Applications
Multiple networks in the same country
For organisations with more than one mobile network operator in the same country, Vanttage amalgamates the billing data and displays it as a single spend.
Multinational organisation with multiple networks
By centralising mobile expenditure and offering a single multi-language, multi-network, multi-country service you can benefit from the freedom of in-country contracts with a consolidated, single management service, irrelevant of network.

- Same visibility across the organisation, across all countries and carriers, giving easily intelligible data to base decisions on
- Network independent management system is unaffected by any changes of carrier
- 24 months of data stored for reporting, making in-depth, longitudinal analysis feasible

Personal Use Report
Our experience is that 26% of mobile spend is personal calls. Besides extra costs, without processes to monitor personal use organisations are exposed to:
- Difficulties complying with VAT requirements
- Users’ benefit in kind tax
A One-Off Personal Use Report
- Defines the value of personal usage
- Calculates the apportionment figure for a VAT reclaim
- Highlights areas of abuse in mobile usage
- Identifies areas for cost control
- Provides understanding of use of new applications, e.g. MMS
For ongoing use Wireless Expense Manager enables organisations to enforce their chosen mobile policy, e.g.
- Personal calls allowed, but must be declared, or
- Personal calls allowed, declared, and recovered via payroll, or
- A total ban on all personal calls

Genesis
The path to a successful tender is ensuring your organisation knows and understands its mobile expenditure and strategic direction better than the Mobile Network Operators.
This means being in possession of all the facts that will determine how to build a tender that is right for your company. You do not want to be driven by what the Mobile Network Operators think is right for you.
There are many influences on tenders that affect pricing. Your organisation needs to understand all these variances before you start contract discussions and negotiations.
