Expense & Asset Management

Sakon

The founder led enterprise platform: deep managed mobility, a unified telecom record, and none of the ownership churn common in this category.

Best for: enterprise mobility programs

Sakon is the platform we point enterprise mobility teams to first. Founded in 2003 and still run by its founders from Concord, Massachusetts, the company has grown to several hundred employees across the US, Canada, the UK, and India and manages mobile devices in the millions across five regions, alongside fixed telecom, cloud expense, invoice automation, and payment on the same platform. Its unified telecom record is the quiet strength: one inventory that orders, invoices, and disputes all reconcile against, which is exactly the thing most expense programs lose within a year. Native workflows inside ServiceNow, Salesforce, and Teams mean the work happens where your teams already live. Sakon earned visionary placements in the final two analyst quadrants for managed mobility before that report was retired, appears in the current market guides for both expense management and mobility, and has held a customer choice distinction on peer review platforms. It publishes fewer scale figures than its two larger rivals and is built for large enterprise rather than small estates, but stable private ownership and consistently high peer ratings count for a great deal in a category where platforms change hands often.

Why use an advisor

  • One conversation instead of five vendor sales processes.
  • You buy directly from the provider you choose, at the same or better pricing: providers quote sharper when they know the whole market is being compared.
  • Advice that includes "don't buy this," because we have no stake in which provider wins.
  • Coverage of the whole market, including providers you've never heard of.
  • Provider claims checked against what advisors see across live quotes, not against brochures.
