Wireless Spending
Controlling wireless expenses is the biggest challenge in telecom. Usage has grown substantially (over 15% per year) and wireless spending often exceeds that of other communications services substantially. Our average customer spends twice the amount on wireless than they do for all other services.

Managing the wireless bills of a company is challenging. Many companies use reimbursement models for employees for business calling either for actual calling or provide a specific allowance. IRS regulations now require that detailed call logs be maintained to sustain tax deductions for cell phone expenses, a requirement that many companies do not adequately address. Proximiti has three primary benefits for a company looking to use one or all of its services:

- Low cost voice and data plans.
- Company wide billing that averages heavy and low users and insures a low per minute rate with no "gotchas".
- Administrative controls including reporting and limits on individual phone usage for voice calling, text messaging, and other features that both discourage abuse and improve productivity.
Here are some examples:
Users with voice and data plans in wireless: Most plans are over $100 monthly per user. Proximiti offers a $69 plan that covers the needs of 90% of smart phone users. For corporate plans, even heavy users can be included with the lower end users averaging the overall bill down. Moving to a corporate plan from a sum of individual plans can save most businesses substantially. Proximiti can start a plan for your company with a single user and have it expand over time (realizing that many users may have contracts in place).
Company wide minute plans: Proximiti also offers aggregate usage plans at around 8 cents per minute. Many users with smaller wireless plans face 35 cent per minute charges and sometimes fees for exceeding caps on those plans that drive overall wireless spending considerably higher than planned. Also, the administrative costs of processing expense reports, etc. are avoided.
CellTRAKR software: CellTRAKR service provides daily and monthly reporting of cell phone usage by phone number and can be used with any Windows Mobile or BlackBerry phone. For users needing simple voice calling, Proximiti offers phones and service plans with specific limits that can be adjusted by the company administrator.
