Compressing mobility spend without sacrificing coverage, across 345 devices.
The situation
A chemical manufacturer with 345 mobile devices across 25 locations needed to compress its corporate mobility spend without asking its field and plant teams to give up coverage they depended on day to day.
Why this was hard without help
Mobility programs accumulate complexity quietly: multiple carriers, inconsistent device refresh timing, and program management that eats internal time without anyone quite noticing how much. Cutting spend without a structural fix usually just means deferring device refreshes or trimming coverage, both of which show up later as a different kind of cost.
What Resourcive brought
A Mobile Device as a Service model that offloaded program management entirely: a hardware refresh every two years built into the model rather than deferred, cross-carrier data pooling across AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Rogers, a single vendor for billing, support, and fulfillment, and 24/7/365 helpdesk coverage.
Results
Documented outcomes
- 30% spend reduction, $125K in 1-year annualized savings.
- Hardware refresh built in on a two-year cycle, not deferred for savings.
- Cross-carrier data pooling replacing siloed, per-carrier plans.
- Single-vendor billing, support, and fulfillment, with 24/7/365 helpdesk.
