Company description

There are many telecoms providers in the UK but ATS is different. To start with, they’re independent, which means they are free of many of the constraints that High Street phone shops have to work under. So can be more flexible with plans and go the extra mile with services. ATS also offer free account management, so if you need help with your bills or any technical questions, you can speak directly to your account manager, not a call centre.

Objectives

ATS are a strategic partner with EE and are also providers of landlines, broadband etc. They offer prospective clients a free analysis service whereby they look at expenditure, deal structure and future requirements and provide alternatives highlighting cost savings. Additional to the cost savings, customers choose ATS for their service – accounts are managed throughout the agreement and business changes and changes to requirements are reacted to ensure efficiency throughout. ATS take a consultative approach and will look to understand business growth and additional usage moving forward, future proofing the agreements for additional requirements.
