Chargeback / Consumption Management
Centralizing telecom expenses enables companies to chargeback telecom costs based on client specific hierarchies. This allows companies to benchmark costs and optimize services based on departments/cost centers, maintain corporate compliance initiatives, and support the corporate GL.
The MBG Chargeback system is a core component of MBG's unified procure-to-pay telecom expense management solution that allows companies to allocate telecom costs based on their dedicated cost centers and run reports to manage the consumption of services. This powerful and unique chargeback solution supports some of the world's largest companies and has led to significant costs savings by providing enhanced visibility of overall telecom spend.
MBG Chargeback - Simplifying the Process Through Electronic Data
To facilitate the chargeback process, MBG builds on its expertise in processing electronic data and an outstanding core competency in call accounting.
