Over 50% of Canadians do not use international travel passes or local eSIMs when traveling abroad. The main causes of "roaming bill shock" are unexpected background usage, unmanaged plan changes, billing errors, or unpredicted mistakes. Carriers claim inefficient cellular usage causes these issues that cost consumers hundreds of dollars. At 8760, through data-driven cellular management services, we help clients optimize their phone plans.

A fresh Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) report showed that the Internet price index declined by 6%, and the mobile service index dropped by nearly 40% over recent years, with broadband covering over 80% of rural Canada — a 30 percentage point increase since 2020. While mobile data becomes more affordable for "Big Three" carriers in Canada, why do our business phone bills keep increasing year after year?

Card acceptance in the dealership business goes far beyond the front desk. Dealerships also accept credit and debit cards for auto repair, parts supply, and other related services. Therefore, the process behind a vehicle sale, a service invoice, and a parts counter charge—along with the channels and fees involved—can vary significantly. It’s critical for dealership management and owners to understand the actual cost of receiving payments from clients.
