How does the management system on Smart SIMs assist company management?

Smart SIMs allow companies to offer their staff more flexibility, more safety, more connectivity but they also give the company the chance to manage the SIMs. This means they have control over how much the SIM cards are used, when they are used, what they are used for and they can put in place restrictions for the SIM user so that they are not taken advantage of.

The online software offers the management of all of the SIM cards separately so if the company you run has the need for all workers to have a mobile phone with a Smart SIM in, but they do not all wish to have the same voicemail message this can be arranged. Each SIM can be tailored to each employee’s needs so customers can be confident that they are calling the right number – especially if they have to leave a message.

There is also an element of trust enlisted here, often companies will offer the SIM card and phone as part of the package and allow for the employee to use this as their personal phone as well. There are of course expectations from the company that the employee does not take advantage but by personalising all of the voicemail’s, the company is dictating that the caller not give their number to anyone who could provide a conflict of interest for the company.

Personal phone usage also demands that the employee use the allowance within reason, they are not expected to incur excessive call costs but this is something that all companies have faced from time to time as not everyone can be trusted. Smart SIM cards however allow the company to keep track of what their employees are using their phones for and therefore put a stop to any unwanted activity as soon as possible, if necessary.

In addition to this, if the company feels that strict boundaries need to be set in place, they can do this too, still through the online software. There is the option to set high user alerts for those that begin to use more than their allocated allowance, or even spending caps so the employee is unable to use the phone for any more than their allocation.

Finally, there is of course the ability to activate and suspend the Smart SIMs so that this sort of management can be carried out efficiently – for example all SIM cards for those who are not working the weekend could be suspended on a Friday night and activated again on Monday morning, but all of those on call might have their SIM cards remain active for the weekend.

The control is unique, diverse and extensive. For more information, visit the EuroDigiTel website.
