Reduce Wholesale Network Costs with IQMargin
Swap complex, manual processes for IQMargin: predict subscriber demand and optimize wholesale allocation for the lowest-cost outcome, automatically.
Lower wholesale cost from the first billing cycle.
For a large U.S. MVNO with 160K subscribers and $16M in annual wholesale billing, IQMargin identified and deployed a lower-cost, fully automated approach to wholesale allocation. Verified savings were produced immediately after implementation.
Projected annual savings
Realized through wholesale cost optimization
Manual overhead eliminated
Optimization decisions fully automated
Automated in production
Continuous optimization without manual intervention
Weeks to deployment
From initial analysis to production
Wholesale network access is an MVNO's largest cost.
MVNOs operate on thin margins, making wholesale cost efficiency critical. How effectively that cost is managed can create a 5–20% opportunity to reduce total wholesale spend, freeing up capital for growth and customer investment.
Finding the lowest-cost outcome requires an advanced approach.
IQMargin combines subscriber-level predictions with wholesale economics to evaluate millions of possible decisions and continuously identify lower-cost outcomes.
Current operating approach
Maintain existing subscriber allocation
Rebalance subscriber allocation
Improve alignment between capacity and expected usage

Most approaches simplify the problem and that simplicity has a cost.
Even sophisticated approaches simplify the problem. With constantly changing demand and countless possible tier assignments, 5–15% of wholesale savings can remain unrealized.
Broad telecom expertise is built into IQMargin.
Built by a team with hands-on experience across MVNOs, operators and wholesale economics, refined through extensive testing against real historical cycles.
Built from experience, not a spec
Non-obvious predictive variables drawn from deep usage and behaviour patterns
Proven through heavy backtesting before it ever runs live
Refined in production, not a one off model
Technical depth across the full stack, from forecasting to deployment
Decades of combined experience across churn, retention, wholesale cost, growth and forecasting, distilled into the proprietary knowledge and technical expertise behind IQMargin's prediction and optimization engine.
We prove the savings before
anyone commits.
IQMargin handles the analysis, modeling and deployment. Once it's live, optimization runs automatically with minimal ongoing effort from your team.
Historical data
The MVNO shares past usage and its wholesale rate card.
Diagnostic
We identify where overage and idle allotment are leaking cost.
Backtest & quantify
We replay the model against real historical cycles to size the savings before any commitment.
Deploy & manage
Only if the savings are real. We deploy and run it continuously.
Pricing is aligned to value created, initially a share of verified savings.
With a transition to recurring pricing once results are proven.
IQMargin is customized to your specific business.
IQMargin is tailored to your wholesale agreement, pricing structure, subscriber behaviour and operating constraints to find the lowest-cost outcome for your business.
