BDO enters strategic partnership with Predict
Accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP has entered a strategic partnership with Predict, a business mobile market adviser, to provide a range of procurement, cost reduction and risk management services specific to business mobile communications.
Predict helps UK organisations of all types and sizes to ensure a better return on business mobile communications. It helps businesses navigate complex tariff structures and the specifics of data usage to avoid often significant overspend.
Predict combines deep industry experience with AI-powered tools to calculate requirements, create tenders and source bespoke solutions using the first B2B comparison platform.
The strategic partnership will leverage both parties’ skills and capacity to provide fact-based data-driven advisory services that are easy to engage with and offer significant returns.
Organisations benefit through greater transparency and insight into their ongoing mobile usage and associated costs. The partnership offers a managed tender service to enable businesses to engage with the market more efficiently to source and choose from tailored business mobile proposals to better meet business needs.
The long-term aim of the partnership is to provide independent and impartial advisory and assurance services to clients, through a combination of market expertise and AI technology to deliver transformative procurement and cost management capability.
Miles Hewitt-Boorman, partner at BDO, said:
“Our partnership with Predict demonstrates BDO’s commitment to bring new and innovative solutions to clients. Our simple joint approach breaks down barriers to effective business mobile procurement and ongoing cost management, enabling clients to extract maximum value from their spend. The applicability of the solution is exciting, as businesses of all sizes and across all industry segments can significantly benefit.”
Colin Loveday, CEO and Founder of Predict, said:
“We estimate that UK businesses could be overspending by more than £2 billion a year on their mobile communication services so the scope to help BDO clients is immense. We are excited and appreciative of the opportunity to partner with BDO to create greater awareness of the common issues behind this problem. Working together we can extend the 52% average cost savings we have helped businesses achieve and provide organisations with a proven and sustainable solution as a combined force for good in this challenging service market.”
Simon Gallagher, BDO’s Head of Consulting, said:
“Our relationship with Predict will further expand the portfolio of services we can offer and will be hugely valuable to our client base.”
