Looking to help companies better manage their telecoms costs, Cell C has launched Dual Benefit Billing which is designed to make communications management easier for both employers and employees.
“We know that businesses have long struggled to find solutions to help them better manage their telecommunications costs,” says Cell C CEO, Jose dos Santos. “Cell C’s focus in the SME and enterprise market has led to the development of this product to help employers and employees make the most of their communications.”
Dual Benefit Billing allows employees to sign up for a contract and personally own the contract, while still receiving a cell phone allowance or cell phone benefits provided by their employer. Employers will only ever be responsible for the allowance portion of the contract.
“What this does, is allows employers to manage only the portion that they need to, while employees remain responsible for the rest,” explains Dos Santos. “Staff that leave their employment will now have the benefit of seamlessly taking their handset and contract with them without having to transfer personal data to another device or change numbers.”
Dual Benefit Billing takes the complexity out of staff’s mobile allowances and benefits by leaving the employer with no liability for contracts or handsets when the employee leaves. Should the employer require a new line for a replacement employee, the new employee simply signs a brand new contract from Cell C. This also provides the new employee with the ability to sign-up for a new contract and handset without having to take over the previous employee’s contract and handset or, alternatively, saves the company money by not having to purchase a new handset.
