Full Portfolio
Calero Services
Telecom expense management, managed mobility, SaaS management, invoice auditing, MACD, usage analytics, and lifecycle optimization — all on a single platform.
Telecom Expense Management (TEM) — Full Lifecycle
End-to-end management of the enterprise telecom estate — inventory management, quote and order management, wireline eBonding, invoice management, and telecom auditing. A single platform visualizes the entire global network, normalizes vendor data, tracks renewal dates, and benchmarks contract rates against industry pricing to identify renegotiation opportunities.
Managed Mobility Services (MMS)
Comprehensive managed mobility covering mobile expense management, an end-user self-service portal, automated device procurement, forward and reverse logistics, unified endpoint management, and a service desk for real-time IT request resolution. Calero manages 4.5 million devices under management across 2.8 million mobility portal users globally.
MACD & Order Management
Streamlined Moves, Adds, Changes, and Disconnects (MACD) across the telecom estate — managing telecom orders from quote to delivery, negotiating pricing, and tracking all stages within a unified platform. Automated workflows reduce manual carrier interaction and accelerate provisioning timelines.
Invoice Management & Automated Bill Pay
Simplify invoice tracking, automate receipts, validate invoices against contracted rates, and streamline bill payments. The platform catches billing discrepancies before payment, manages dispute workflows, and consolidates invoices from multiple vendors — eliminating the internal overhead of processing dozens of carrier bills manually.
Telecom Auditing & Contract Optimization
Automated dispute management, usage optimization, and benchmarking against industry pricing to uncover cost-saving opportunities. Calero exposes inefficiencies by comparing vendor inventory data against actual usage, identifies services billed after cancellation, and arms organizations with usage data and cost analysis to negotiate contract renewals from a position of strength.
Usage Analytics & Reporting Dashboards
Configurable, self-service analytics dashboards for granular visibility into technology spend — charge amounts by invoice month, MRC by vendor, usage by inventory type, top vendor spend, and cost allocation by department. Calero harnesses rich data and usage patterns to enable data-driven financial and strategic decisions across telecom, mobility, and SaaS.
SaaS Management — License, Spend & Shadow IT
Complete visibility and control over software applications and licenses — connecting directly to identity and SSO providers to discover all SaaS applications including shadow IT. The platform unlocks real-time license and usage data, identifies duplicate and low-usage licenses, right-sizes SaaS contracts based on actual usage analytics, and automates invoice processing for timely and accurate vendor payments.
Wireline eBonding & IT Service Management Integrations
Automated data exchange between telecom systems through wireline eBonding — enhancing efficiency, reducing manual data entry costs, and improving accuracy across carrier integrations. Seamless IT service management integrations keep telecom asset records accurate and synchronized, supporting the full inventory management lifecycle from ordering through decommission.
Lifecycle Management
Optimization Starts Before Deployment
Calero builds optimization into the planning and procurement phases — not as a reactive audit after overspend has already occurred.
Identify future needs and allocate funds intentionally based on total cost of ownership and usage patterns.
Evaluate vendors on service delivery, integration ease, contract flexibility, and alignment to long-term strategy.
Deploy every asset with full visibility, user alignment, and a defined lifecycle management plan from day one.
Savings, right-sizing, and reclaiming underutilized assets as an ongoing process — not a one-off project.
Why Calero
Key Strengths
Calero is trusted by more than 3,000 clients globally to manage over $25 billion in technology spend — making it one of the largest managed technology expense platforms on the market. That scale translates into benchmarking accuracy, negotiation leverage, and platform maturity that smaller TEM providers cannot match.
Most enterprises manage telecom expenses, mobile devices, and SaaS licenses in separate silos — creating gaps in visibility and duplicate management overhead. Calero delivers a single platform covering all three categories, with unified analytics dashboards that provide a complete view of technology spend across the entire estate.
Calero manages 4.5 million devices under management and serves 2.8 million mobility portal users. That scale reflects deep operational capability in enterprise mobile program management — from device procurement and logistics through expense optimization, unified endpoint management, and secure device disposal.
Calero's approach starts optimization upstream — in budget forecasting and procurement — not after overspend has already occurred. The four-step lifecycle audit framework (Forecasting, Procurement, Execution, Reclamation) ensures organizations build proactive, continuous optimization processes rather than reactive one-off audits.
Calero provides in-house, in-region support teams rather than offshore call centers — reducing disruption and improving response quality for organizations managing complex mobility and telecom environments across multiple countries and carrier relationships.
