Waste

How predictable is your waste every month?

Variability in your waste from month-to-month makes a big difference to certain service providers.

Is your container size and collection frequency optimized?

Finding a provider that is both cost effective and meets your needs can be challenging.

Are your waste disposal fees changing frequently over the course of the year?

A professional audit of your expenses can get to the bottom of it.

Merchant Services

Do you reference the "effective rate" to evaluate how competitive your processing fees are?

A blended pricing structure makes it more difficult to fully understand all the factors impacting your fees.

Do you know how your current processing environment impacts your processing fees?

How you process payments and capture data can have a big impact on your monthly fees.

Have you asked your processor to provide you an "interchange-plus pricing" quote?

This pricing structure is often the least expensive and most transparent option.

Telecom

Have you conducted a recent usage audit across your telecommunications system?

In many cases, we find inefficiencies and redundancies in the number of lines and features.

Have you considered moving to a Voice over IP platform?

Cloud based telecommunications systems typically provide unique features at lower costs.

Do you know when your current plan automatically renews?

Companies typically only have a 30-day window to make changes to their current contract.

Shipping

Have you considered splitting your shipping business across multiple vendors?

Vendors tend to specialize in certain areas so playing to their unique strengths can reduce your overall costs.

Are you paying for unnecessary delivery guarantees?

Being more flexible on delivery times can significantly reduce your costs.

Do you review your monthly statements to ensure the correct charge codes are used?

Charge codes can be very confusing and require a detailed review to ensure you are being charged correctly.

Medical Waste

How predictable is your medical waste every month?

Variability in your medical waste from month-to-month makes a big difference to certain service providers.

How do you deal with amalgam waste? Contaminated waste? Sharps?

Each of these require a specific disposal method that could represent additional costs.

Who supplies your medical waste and sharps containers and how are they stored?

Operational procedures and location specific descisions can substantially impact your overall pricing.

    stratford – Coach Bus Savings

    You're Focused on Getting People Where They Need to Go — Let Us Make Sure You're Not Overpaying to Do It.

    Running a bus operation means dealing with rising fuel prices, compliance costs, vehicle maintenance, and ever-tightening margins. Every dollar saved on operating expenses is a dollar that goes back into your fleet, your drivers, and your business. That’s where Schooley Mitchell comes in.

    We’re North America's largest independent cost reduction consulting firm. We analyze your vendor invoices, negotiate better terms, and reduce your overhead — without compromising quality or service.

    Our expertise is behind-the-scenes — but the results are front and center. At Schooley Mitchell, we’re entirely independent of any vendors. We do not receive incentives or bonuses from service providers. In fact, we’re so confident in our ability to negotiate savings for our clients, we’ve based our business model on that very fact; if we don’t deliver savings, we don’t get paid.

    You focus on transportation. We focus on optimization. Together, we move your business forward.

    Fuel

    Is your business finding the unpredictable cost of fuel to be a burden on your bottom line?

    Schooley Mitchell ensures you’re paying fair rates on an ongoing basis, to protect your fuel budget, even in times of market instability.

    Are you using the right fleet card solution?

    Our vast database of customer and vendor data allows us to know what better options are on the market.

    Are your corporate discounts being honored?

    We monitor, identify, and resolve billing errors.

    Waste

    How predictable is your waste every month?

    Variability in your waste from month-to-month makes a big difference to certain service providers.

    Is your container size and collection frequency optimized?

    Finding a provider that is both cost effective and meets your needs can be challenging.

    Are your waste disposal fees changing frequently over the course of the year?

    A professional audit of your expenses can get to the bottom of it.

    Electronic Logging Devices

    Are you paying for features in your ELD system that your business doesn’t actually use?

    Many companies are subscribed to premium-tier plans when more basic packages would meet compliance needs just as effectively.

    Have you compared pricing across different ELD providers recently?

    The ELD market is competitive, and providers frequently update their pricing and features — switching vendors can lead to significant savings.

    Are you locked into a long-term ELD contract with early termination fees?

    We often uncover opportunities to renegotiate terms or align contract timing with operational needs to avoid unnecessary penalties and costs.

    Telecom

    Have you conducted a recent usage audit across your telecommunications system?

    In many cases, we find inefficiencies and redundancies in the number of lines and features.

    Have you considered moving to a Voice over IP platform?

    Cloud based telecommunications systems typically provide unique features at lower costs.

    Do you know when your current plan automatically renews?

    Companies typically only have a 30-day window to make changes to their current contract.

    Facility Supplies

    Are you over or undersupplied?

    We audit your invoices to ensure optimal delivery schedules.

    Are you splitting hairs with multiple vendors?

    We look at all supplies invoices, across all vendors, to make sure everything you need is being ordered, delivered, and replenished effectively.

    Do you require specific product quality or other specifications?

    Schooley Mitchell helps you find the solutions that bet fit your business.
