Case Study: Valmont Industries achieves 50% telecom cost savings and enterprise-wide visibility with Calero-MDSL

Calero-MDSL harnesses Technology Expense Management to deliver enterprise-wide visibility and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost savings for Valmont Industries

Valmont Industries, a NYSE‑listed global manufacturer with more than 80 facilities and roughly 10,000 employees, was struggling to manage a million‑dollar annual telecom budget due to poor visibility: inaccurate inventory, inability to validate carrier invoices, frequent provisioning/decommissioning from workforce churn, and limited staff capacity. To address these challenges they engaged Calero, deploying the Calero‑MDSL technology expense management solution for end‑to‑end telecom lifecycle management.

Calero migrated Valmont’s historical data and delivered real‑time feeds, bidirectional reconciliation, HR integration and unified reporting and security controls, giving the IT team accurate inventory and invoice verification. As a result Calero helped Valmont cut telco expenses by 50% vs five years ago (about $500K annually), fund a TDM‑to‑SIP migration, scale to three times as many vendors and invoices across four times the countries without adding headcount, and achieve faster, auditable processes for reclaiming and managing services.
