CLIENT OVERVIEW

HSBM Facilities Management Ltd

HSBM Facilities Management Ltd, based in Portsmouth, manages complex mobile connectivity for its building maintenance and facilities operations. A partner of BusinessMobiles.com since 2022, the company supports a mobile workforce that requires constant availability and high data reliability.

In 2025, working with their dedicated consultant, Ricky, HSBM underwent a strategic estate restructure, migrating from their legacy setup to a modern Future Mobile agreement. This transition was designed to provide deeper cost efficiency and enhanced digital oversight of their mobile fleet.

The Challenge: Scaling Costs and Administrative Friction

As HSBM’s operations grew, their standard network-direct tariffs became an obstacle to efficiency. Their primary challenges included:

  • Tariff Inflation: Their previous setup lacked the flexibility to adapt to changing usage patterns, leading to inflated monthly overheads that reached £1,885 per month.

  • Limited Visibility: The team lacked a centralised way to monitor real-time data consumption across their site-based staff, leading to unpredictable billing.

  • Service Disconnection: Dealing with automated network call centres created administrative friction, often resulting in long resolution times for hardware or billing queries.

Our Solution: Future Mobile and Digital Control

Rather than maintaining the status quo, BusinessMobiles.com initiated a 2025 re-optimisation to align HSBM’s mobile spend with their actual usage:

  1. Forensic Cost Displacement: Ricky performed a total estate audit, moving the client onto a Future Mobile plan that immediately slashed their monthly bill by 52%.

  2. Implementation of the Mobile Manager Portal: We provided the client with the Mobile Manager portal, giving their management team 24/7 visibility and granular control over every connection in their fleet.

  3. Dedicated Human Advocacy: By maintaining Ricky as their single point of contact, HSBM ensured that all estate management, from adding new lines to technical support, remained streamlined and efficient.

"We have worked with Business Mobiles for many years now and the service we receive from our Account Manager Ricky is excellent. He continuously updates us on the best deals and understands our business needs.

Ricky actually saved us at least 40% on our bills which is a great saving for our business. Due to the service we receive we would not go anywhere else!"
