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.

Compressed Gases

Do you think your compressed gases expenses are written in stone?

Commodity markets can be complex and confusing, making it difficult for business owners and managers to navigate.

Are you certain there are no billing errors in your invoices?

There are opportunities to optimize pricing structures and recover billing errors.

Are you receiving all tax benefits available to you?

Your business might be missing out on significant savings opportunities.

      Part 1: Client Background

      Client A is a single-location veterinary practice focusing on family pets. Client A engaged Schooley Mitchell to ensure they weren’t overpaying on their non-veterinary expenses, like payment processing.

      Important Factors - Payment Processing:

      • Payment processing was a considerable expense for Client A.
      • They were on a tiered pricing structure with their incumbent payment provider.
      • They were not under an appropriate rate structure leaving room for savings.
      • They were spending $46,220.04 per year on payment processing fees.

      Part 2: Savings Results

      Schooley Mitchell negotiated with several payment processors, including Client A’s incumbent vendor, who was willing to provide a more competitively priced rate structure.

      This resulted in an estimated reduction of $16,970.52 per year - or roughly 37%

      This was all achieved without any changes to Client A’s payment processing structure.

      Across the term of our engagement, Client A is saving $50,911.56!

      Part 3: Implementation & Post Audits

      Schooley Mitchell provided a timeline for implementation, including accurate instructions for steps involving Client A’s vendors.

      Schooley Mitchell verified implementation within one month, dependent on the necessary invoices presented.

      The client received a detailed implementation report outlining a savings summary for the next three years.

      Following implementation, Schooley Mitchell continued to monitor Client A’s invoices quarterly, to ensure the agreed upon rates were being honored, and ensure any billing errors were caught right away.

            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.

            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.

            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.

            Is your provider phasing out copper wires or analog telephone systems?

            Cloud based telecommunications systems, such a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) 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.

            Uniforms & Linens

            Do you rent or purchase uniforms?

            With no inventorial upfront costs and easier access to replacements/repairs, renting from a reliable source has become a preferred option to purchasing outright.

            Does your uniform rental policy properly account for employee damage and loss?

            Loss and damage charges include the purchase of a new garment at full retail price on top of the associated setup, name tag, logo fees, and sometimes replacement charges, depending on your rental agreement.

            Are your laundering and delivery schedules optimized?

            Without the correct cadence, your business could be overspending or not receiving what it needs to operate efficiently.

            Merchant Services

            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.
