As an entrepreneur or agency owner, your “office” is wherever you happen to be: a client’s boardroom in the U.S., a conference in Cape Town, or a coffee shop between meetings. International travel is a key part of growth, but for years, it’s come with two predictable, frustrating problems:
- The “Landing Lull”: You land, your phone is a brick, and you’re suddenly hunting for unreliable airport Wi-Fi just to load your rideshare app or check your email.
- The “Post-Trip Price Shock”: You either brave the exorbitant daily roaming charges from your home carrier or you—and your team—are submitting a pile of messy receipts for local SIMs and top-ups, turning expense reporting into a nightmare.
At Teracore, we build and manage enterprise-level web solutions, so we are fundamentally obsessed with efficiency, security, and scalability. The old way of managing travel data is inefficient and insecure.
For a long time, we treated this as a “cost of doing business.” Not anymore. We’ve been testing and recommending a new approach that solves this problem cleanly: eSIM technology.
Specifically, we’ve been impressed with the solution from Airalo.
The Fix for the Solo Traveler
If you’re a seasoned traveller, or a solo-preneur just taking off on your first business trip, an eSIM (or “embedded SIM”) is a game-changer. It’s a digital SIM card you download to your phone.
The practical benefit? You can buy a data plan for your destination before you leave home. The moment your plane lands, you’re instantly connected to a local network. There’s no more fumbling with tiny plastic SIMs or paying $10/day to your domestic provider. It’s a simple, prepaid model, so you know exactly what you’re spending upfront.
We’ve pointed many of our clients to Airalo for this. They offer flexible, affordable plans in over 200 countries.
It’s a “pro-tip” that removes the stress of connectivity from travel.
The “Aha!” Moment: Scaling Connectivity for Your Team
This is where our interest as a business partner really peaked. The solution for a solo traveler is great, but what happens when you have a team of three, five, or ten people traveling?
The problem multiplies. Now you’re not just managing your connectivity; you’re managing everyone’s. The administrative load of approving expenses, chasing invoices, and processing reimbursements becomes a genuine time-sink.
This is where a tool like Airalo for Business moves from a “nice-to-have” to a core part of your operations. It’s a centralized platform built for teams, and it solves the business problem, not just the travel problem.
Here’s what we, as your tech partner, find compelling:
- It Kills the Expense Report: The platform allows you to purchase, manage, and assign eSIM data plans to your entire team from a single dashboard. You get one consolidated monthly invoice. This means your team members no longer pay out-of-pocket, and your bookkeeper isn’t chasing down a dozen tiny receipts.
- It Gives You Real Cost Control: “Bill shock” is a real threat to a small business budget. This platform gives you full visibility. You can monitor data usage per employee and know exactly what your connectivity spend is. Case studies have shown this approach can cut roaming costs by as much as 90%—a massive savings you can reinvest in growth.
- It’s Genuinely Secure: As a company that lives and breathes web security, this is non-negotiable for us. We were pleased to find the business platform isn’t just a consumer app with a different logo. It’s SOC 2 and GDPR compliant, meaning it meets high standards for data security and privacy. This gives us the confidence to recommend it.
- It Scales With You: As your team grows, the platform can even integrate with your existing company directory to automate adding or removing users when they join or leave the company. This is an enterprise-level feature that saves significant admin time.
Our Recommendation
Our job is to find tools that empower you to scale efficiently. An eSIM solution is a perfect example of a modern tool that solves an old, frustrating problem. It removes friction for your traveling team and, more importantly, it eliminates a significant administrative and financial headache for you as the business owner.
If you’re still managing international travel connectivity with 10-year-old methods, we genuinely recommend exploring a modern eSIM solution.
