Facility Supplies Cheat Sheet
Sue is the Director of Procurement for a Health Authority where direction is given to members for best practices, tools, guides and membership perks. Supplies for their own business are important as these would become Sue’s recommendation to her members. With 50+ employees, she certainly had a lot of different needs to accommodate and found that purchases through Amazon helped appease all employees. Sue spent about $19,311.24 per year for office, cleaning and facility supplies. When Schooley Mitchell investigated the spending trends for Sue, our analyst identified one of our preferred vendors as a suitable option who could provide 75% of the products Sue required, but at a reduced rate. Sue transitioned over to the new vendor for those items and benefitted from an annual savings of nearly $6,000.
Property Management and Event Company
VP of Operations, Janet, runs a fruit farm that has grown into a property management and event company. They were spending $2,451.14 per month on office supplies for their four locations. Schooley Mitchell identified that the current vendor was charging for shipping from a distribution point outside of Janet’s city. Schooley Mitchell negotiated with a new vendor that is local to Janet’s business that could provide the same products at a lower rate with no delivery fees. This recommendation would save her 22.25% or $6,500 per year.
School Supplier
As a supplier of health, safety and medical products to schools across the country, Bob, the Senior Operations Manager, understands the complexity of purchasing the right supplies at the right price. In order to get their supplies to all the school districts across the country, thousands of shipping supplies are needed, ranging from large boxes to packing tape and bubble wrap. Bob spends $232,815.50 per year on those shipping-specific supplies between his two vendors. We at Schooley Mitchell understand the benefit of being able to purchase everything from one vendor so our analyst worked with a number of suppliers from our database. Our analyst was able to work with one vendor that could service both of Bob’s locations while also providing a savings of 10% per year, or $23,000 through a single new vendor.
