Deployments last months, not trips.
Commissioning engineers, maintenance crews and project managers work on-site abroad for long stretches. Home-carrier roaming was priced for a conference, not a construction season.
National infrastructure
Roaming for the companies that build national infrastructure
Rail, energy and utilities providers deploy staff across borders for months at a time. eSIM Copilot supplies the roaming layer: local-rate plans, controlled by entity and project, on one invoice.
The operational problem
Roaming was priced for trips, not months on site.
Infrastructure work is delivered where the asset is. The mobile arrangements behind it were designed for short business trips and a single home market.
Roaming cost at engineering scale.
Hundreds of travelling staff, each roaming for weeks. The spend is large, it lands after the fact, and no one can say which project it belongs to.
Entities and carriers in every country.
Each country entity signed its own mobile contracts. The group pays for connectivity many times over, with no shared view of usage, cost or policy.
Procurement needs one accountable supplier.
A patchwork of local arrangements cannot answer an RFP. Infrastructure procurement wants a contracted supplier, SLAs, security review and consolidated invoicing.
How eSIM Copilot works
Built for groups, entities and projects.
Supply, policy and reporting in one platform, shaped around entities, projects and the people on site.
Local-rate plans where the projects are.
Plans in 200+ countries supplied through multiple carrier integrations. Staff on long deployments use local-rate data instead of home-carrier roaming.
Accounts that mirror the group.
Parent and child accounts for entities and business units. Each unit gets its own admins, budgets and reporting; the group keeps one view.
Connectivity by project.
Budgets and spending limits per project, team or country. Connectivity becomes a project cost you can see, not a group overhead you discover.
Your carrier contracts still count.
Bring-your-own-carrier connects existing agreements into the same catalogue and reporting layer. Keep the contracts that work; fill the gaps from our supply.
One invoice, full reporting.
Usage and cost by person, project, entity and country, with a consolidated monthly invoice in GBP, EUR or USD.
Stands up to security review.
Enterprise sign-in, role-based access, audit logs, independent penetration testing and a public DPA. Procurement detail is published and RFP-ready.
Case study
Solving the roaming challenge.
Deployment snapshot
One of Europe's largest engineering infrastructure suppliers provides eSIM Copilot to its travelling staff as the company's roaming solution. Employees working away from their home market use local-rate plans instead of home-carrier roaming, and the company manages the estate centrally. The company gets a known, vetted source of eSIM supply and network access rather than employees buying consumer eSIMs of unknown provenance, and staff get a single first line of support for roaming, whoever the underlying carrier is.

FAQ
Common questions from group IT and procurement.
Why do infrastructure companies use eSIM Copilot for staff roaming?
Project staff work abroad for months, not days. Home-carrier roaming at that duration is expensive and hard to control. eSIM Copilot supplies local-rate plans through multiple carriers, managed centrally with budgets per project, entity or country.
Does it replace our carrier contracts?
Only where you want it to. Bring-your-own-carrier connects existing agreements into the same catalogue and reporting layer. Many groups run their own contracts and eSIM Copilot supply side by side.
Can it mirror our group structure?
Yes. Parent and child accounts map to entities and business units, each with its own admins, budgets and reporting, rolling up to one group view and one consolidated invoice.
How do staff on site get connected?
Plans install as eSIMs. Employees order within policy from the mobile app, Microsoft Teams or Slack, or IT assigns plans centrally. There are no SIM cards to ship to project sites.
How does procurement engage?
Company, commercial, security and service-delivery information is published on our procurement page, and RFP or RFI packs can be sent to sales@esimcopilot.com.
