When a leading road planing subcontractor approached TST, their challenge wasn’t on the roads – it was with their mobile contracts.
Despite running a successful business with a legacy in road asset renewal, they were struggling to manage their telecommunications effectively. Dealing directly with the networks meant they had little visibility or control over how mobiles were being used. The result? Spiralling costs of nearly £5,000 every month.
On closer inspection, TST’s audit revealed that some users alone were spending over £100 per month on their mobile usage. For a company with multiple teams and operations running across sites, these inefficiencies quickly added up.
The TST Solution
Rather than offering a “quick fix” contract, TST carried out a full, detailed audit of their usage. This allowed us to:
- Consolidate their plans for better visibility and control
- Restructure contracts so they were fit for purpose
- Increase their data allowances to match actual usage needs
- Ensure long-term cost savings without compromising connectivity
Within a short time, we reduced their monthly bill to around £2,000 – a saving of £3,000 per month, or over £36,000 a year. Importantly, this wasn’t achieved by cutting back on service. Their teams received more data, better plans, and improved flexibility to support their on-the-road operations.
The Client’s View
The company’s Transport Manager summed up the impact clearly:
“I would recommend TST. They organise our phone contracts and sims for cheaper prices, are friendly and have saved the company a lot of money.”
The TST Way
This case study is a strong example of The TST Way. We don’t just negotiate contracts and leave our clients to it. Instead, we take a proactive, long-term approach – continuously reviewing, advising, and adjusting solutions as our clients’ businesses grow and evolve.
For this road industry subcontractor, the savings were significant. But beyond the numbers, they gained peace of mind, stronger connectivity for their teams, and the reassurance that TST will continue to keep their business communications running smoothly.
